The Beverly Lewis Amish Heritage Cookbook Review

Oh, no no NO. I had such high hopes for this cookbook, and I'm so glad I checked it out from the library before purchasing it. I was looking for a good, old fashioned cookbook with "made from scratch" recipes, and this is most definitely not that. The very first recipe in the cookbook called for canned refried beans and salsa from the jar. The first ingredient in the fritter recipe is dry pancake mix, the blueberry pie recipe includes no actual fresh or frozen blueberries, just cans of blueberry pie filling, and other recipes include things such as canned soups and miracle whip. I'm sure Beverly Lewis is a good novelist, but I'm sorry, this cookbook is awful.

New Recipes from Quilt Country: More Food & Folkways from the Amish & Mennonites Review

I discovered this book over a year ago, at the public library. I read through it, and after I returned it I would find myself thinking: "I wonder about ", and either my wife or I would have to go back to the library to check the book back out!
When I realized I was getting the book almost monthly, AND it stayed at the local branch because that's where I last returned it, I realized it was time to buy it!
With that little story, the rest of this review is simple: This is an excellent cook book. This is not a 'healthy' cookbook. There's no focus on lean, loosing weight, or heart-happy cooking here! This is good, rich, smother-it-in-gravy country cooking.
If you know the Amish, and you have visions of the men coming in at dusk from working the fields all day to a kitchen table stacked with fresh, home-cooked *American* food, this is your cookbook. It simply doesn't get better than this.
