Straight from Amish kitchens to yours, this cookbook offers favorite family recipes and charming stories from Amish and Mennonite cooks.
Bake the pecan rolls that taste best after an ice-skating party, or try the hoagies that a community sold to help an Amish family with hospital bills.

MY REVIEW:
This recipe book is just filled with one amazing recipe after another. I am very excited about these recipes because a lot of them remind me of the foods that I used to eat back when I visited my family in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country. I enjoyed finding so many of the recipes for the delicious foods I remembered having.
There are recipes for breads - one of which is for a great whole wheat bread. I have a hard time finding a good whole wheat bread recipe but this one is great and the bread came out beautifully. This wasn't the only good bread recipe, either!
There are recipes for casseroles, vegetables, soups and even beverages! The great thing about all these recipes is that they aren't complicated or have ingredients you've never heard of. In fact, for most of these recipes, I had the ingredients on hand, which was great. I like recipes that don't force me to follow a 40 step process. None of the recipes are like that - just good home cooking that you and your family will enjoy!
I love this recipe book and I'm sure you will, too! I give it 5 out of 5 stars for it's deliciousness.
