MY BOOK REVIEW:
5 Stars:  5/5 star rating
Anyone who has ever tasted Amish cooking and enjoyed it as I do will love this cookbook.   Amish's lives are centered are family and gathering together and food is always involved.  Even if it's just a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of pie around the kitchen table, the Amish love to eat and cook.  
This book has a variety of recipes which are generally simple enough for a beginning to seasoned cook to follow.
