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.

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. ...

The Seekers  Review The Amish Cooking Class Book #1 by Wanda Brunstetter Join a class of unlikely Ohioans who take cooking lessons at Lyle and Heidi Troyer’s Amish farm.
