A skilled home cook, shed taken classes at the Francois and Antoinette Pope Cooking School in Chicago before marrying at 19. Now the mother of eight children and the grandmother of seven—with an eighth on the way—she still has fond memories of the gatherings she hosted and the dishes she served when her family was growing up. “Entertainment in the 50s, 60s and 70s was to invite family, friends and neighbors to dinner. Sometimes our pastor joined in. ...No one invited a big family like ours to dinner; so we gathered at our place, and everyone brought something to our table to break bread together.” Onischuks recipes are definitely easy-on-the-cook. Preparation time is minimal, and the ingredients are neither costly no esoteric. At 61, the Oak Park resident retains all of her enthusiasm for cooking, although her current favorites tend to be more diet-friendly than the dishes she used to make. Still, theres something about her 7-cup salad that evokes images of home and family and sharing the good times around the dinner table. And after all, this is what the recipes are really about, what parents and grandparents are so anxious to pass along to the next generation.
