February 17, 2009: I always suspected my roots were close to the Pennsylvania Amish and this cookbook confirmed it for me. My grandma (who was from eastern PA) often made several of the dishes in this cookbook. She also made some that were not, like chicken pot pie made in the pressure cooker with sliced potatoes and "dumplings" made from a pseudo pie dough. We loved everything she brought to the table. I have made several new dishes from this book and every one has been delicious! I would recommend this book to anyone!

From Pennsylvania to Kentucky, Brunstetter gathered Amish and Mennonite recipes. Let me note that this cookbook is bound correctly; you do not have to hold the sides of the book down with canned goods while cooking.
This book has a lot of baked goods. I may actually try my hand at the bread making. I did try the caramel overnight French toast. J.T. loved it. Many of the main dishes call for ground beef, which is economical in these rough times. We are having the farmer?s breakfast tonight, which includes: bacon, onions, potatoes, eggs, and cheese. The breakfast section is my favorite, and the peanut butter fudge recipe is simple and delicious.
There are recipes for jellies, window cleaner, and pickles. These are not easy, quick recipes; however, I can attest to the fact that they taste better than any of the popular quick recipes.
This recipe book is going to replace several of my other ones. I also enjoyed the little sayings and tidbits about the Amish culture
