THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Cooking Wizard Mendelson Gains Fame
With 'Mama Never Cooked Like This'
Gourmet wizardry earns
for Susan Mendelson the
achievement of a cookbook
that has given her high
ranks for her attainments
in the kitchen.
"Mama Never Cooked
Like This" (St. Martin's
Press) is the symbol, and
her career is even more ex-
tensive because the Cana-
dian radio and television
audiences await her guid-
in cooking.
Release of her cook book
--n this country, in Sep-
tember, raises her to an
even higher status on this
continent.
Susan, now 30, worked
her way through the Uni-
versity of British Co1um-1
bia as she states it herself,
by being lazy and loving
to eat. Enjoying food, she
became creative as a
cook.
She is now the partner in
a Vancouver shop, and her
radio and television ap-
pearances rate her as a
popular Canadian personal-
ity.
Her specialty at the Uni-
versity of British Columbia
was social work. She recalls:
"I got a job at night as
house manager for the Van-
couver East Cultural
Centre. During Habitat
Festival in 1976, I began to
cater dinners for opening
night parties and selling
slices of cheesecake (at 75
cents a toss) in the lobby at
intermission. Word got out
that if you were among the
first out the door at inter-
mission, you could partake
of a delightful culinary ex-
perience. My reputation
began to grow.
"One of the people who
heard of my cheesecake re-
cipe was Anne Petrie of
CBC Radio's 'Three's Com-
