"The Blessing--Amish Cooking Class" Book Review

The Blessing--Amish Cooking Class #2
by Wanda E. Brunstetter

Book Description:
Return to the Troyer farm where, despite stressful changes occurring in their lives, Joel and Heidi once again open their Ohio home up to those seeking to learn about Amish cooking. This time a teenager helping her divorced dad cook for the family, a caterer needing new recipes, a food critic, a hunter looking to impress his buddies, a wife given the class as an unwanted gift, and a mailman lured in by the aroma of good cooking gather around Heidi's table. More than good food is exchanged, though, as friendships form, a romance blossoms, and hearts are healed.

My Book Review:  There's a reason why Wanda Brunstetter is one of my all-time favorite Amish authors and this book is once again a favorite book.  Heidi continues to teach her cooking class as a way to heal herself, after her husband suggests it might give her peace.  The class helps the participants as much as it helps her.   
          I give this book a rating of 5 stars and highly recommend it to readers.   This book would be appropriate for teen readers as well as adults as it is a clean, refreshing book.
         I received a copy of this book from netgalley, the author, and Shiloh Run Press in exchange for my honest review.   I was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions expressed are my own.
