Customer Reviews

Best Amish cook book I've seen

Love the stories behind the recipes and so many are for things I grew up with. I lived in an Amish area and my grandmother was German so many of the recipes were ones I had had before but made the old fashioned way.

Meals like grandma used to make!!

The recipes in this book are very easy to make and they use ingredients that you would normally have on hand. The meals remind me of the "old fashioned" kind of dinners that grandma would make. Definitely comfort food, nothing fancy or fussy about this book.

Molly's Reviews

The Best of Amish Cooking is a collection of dishes that go back as far as 80 year-old-members of the Amish church can remember or find in old hand scripted cookbooks belonging to their mothers. Some recipes are prepared in old fashioned method, while others are adapted to modern days and products available from the grocery store. The old handwritten recipes were often only a listing of ingredients with no reference to measurement or procedure. Writer Good offers measurements and procedures for the recipes found in this work. Historical notes and asides are included along with recipes for specific dishes.

The Best Cook Book in My Kitchen

I love this cook book! It's just full of recipes for that wonderful Amish food, and the thing I really love about it is that for the most part, the ingredients are items you probably already have in your kitchen, as opposed to some of the "coffee table" cookbooks you have to travel to France in order to get the ingredients they call for. I wouldn't be without this one, and I've just finished ordering it as a gift. Get this one, you'll love it.
