Gather Around the Amish Table By Lucy Leid




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. Discover the cocoa cupcakes with instructions to stir by hand that one young cook took literally, or whip up the whoopie pies that one Amish woman took to market in her horse and buggy.

These cherished recipes speak of comforting traditions, lively communities, and strong Christian faith. Gather your family around the table to sample the nourishing fare and trademark charm of the plain people. In the words of one cookbook contributor: Bake someone happy!

Bakers and Chefs alike are going to love this cookbook. Simple ingredients and easy to make recipes.
I loved all that I have made so far. There is one recipe that does not sound to appetizing and that is roasted Pig Stomach, I won't be trying that one for sure. Psss, don't forget to make yourself a gallon of Root beer, that's right I said homemade root beer. 
I love the pictures and the stories in this cookbook this is one to keep one your shelf and buy for great friends as well.
I have to say this was a 4 star cookbook and I plan to share it with my friends.
I was given a copy of this cookbook by the publisher for my honest review.

    I don't think I'd ever want to try Pig Stomach. Actually, I know I wouldn't.
