The review

This is not a history book, it is a cookbook. Recipes are traditional and Contemporary Recipes Adapted from the kitchens and pantries of Old Order Amish cooks. Before instructions for the preparation of food, the author gives an introduction to the Amish are a people, and told us their food traditions in the New World. Recipes are groups into one pot and Mainstay dishes, soups and stews, meat, vegetables, salads andOpen, stained and spices, sweets and sours. There are also recipes for breads, pies, cakes and cookies, puddings, dumplings and desserts, and fruit butter and jams and jellies. Cheese, beverages and sweets round out the recipe now. Before I offer the book by the author menus for special occasions. A wedding dinner, a wedding supper, Sunday Church Lunch and dinner are included one death in the menu section. Endnotes, readings and sources, index, and a little aboutthe author complete the work. I particularly like the potato soup, Baked Corn, flop cinnamon, ginger and Cottage Pudding. The recipes are easily prepared and can be eaten by children and men.
