Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite

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

We have Amish friends in Indiana and Pennsylvania and have enjoyed
many of the dishes that are in the Amish Friends Cookbook. I love
this book and would recommend it to anyone that loves good cooking.

I collect Penna. Dutch style cookbooks. This one has not disappointed me at all. I grew up outside of Lancaster County and still enjoy Dutch style food. A lot of the recipes in this book I remember my Grandmother making. They are all very tasty and easy to adapt to your own tastes. I highly recommend it if you want to sample some good comfort food that is easy to make with many ingredients you already have.

This cookbook is the best one I have ever read or cooked out of. When you open the book and see the Amish pictures you can almost smell the aroma of it all cooking in an Amish kitchen. This is a must have!

Another good Amish recipe book. I enjoy reading all the recipe information and then trying some new ideas. I collect Amish recipe books. The recipes are easy to follow. Also any Amish pictures are nice to view. Looking forward to the next book coming in September in the cousins series.

This cookbook has beautiful photography of Amish life and is well organized (recipes are easy to read with one on each page). There are nice quotes and words of wisdom scattered throughout. There are a lot of recipes for jams and pickled things however, and I would have liked to see more entrees.

I purchased a copy of this cookbook for myself & immediately fell in love with it. Everyone who saw mine wanted one for themselves. Guess what they will be getting as part of their Christmas gifts? Not only is it full of outstanding recipes, but it also shares cultural information of the Amish principles and way of life. This is an excellent choice for anyone who cooks.
