Slovak master folk artist Sidonka Wadina was raised in a Slovak neighborhood in Milwaukee’s Menomonee River Valley. Her grandmothers, who emigrated from Slovakia, continued to practice the traditional arts of baking and egg decorating.
At the age of three, she began to help them, especially with the making of Slovak dumplings. Now, after a lifetime of preparing Slovak ethnic foods, Sidonka has agreed to share her cherished recipes and original illustrations.
