A cultural overview as well as a cookbook, The Amish Cook at Home by Lovina Eicher with Kevin Williams is filled with gorgeous photographs and appealing recipes. In conversational tone, Mrs. Eicher shares her family recipes and stories; as I read, I often felt as though I was reading a personal letter from her. Sidebars include anecdotes about Mrs. Eicher's family, information about Amish history and culture, and hints on gardening and canning.
The book is arranged by season, and many of the recipes take advantage of seasonal produce. The recipes, more than a hundred in all, include traditional favorites (Dandelion Jelly, Chicken and Dumplings, Funeral Pie) as well as some surprises (Bacon-Wrapped Jalapenos). I'm looking forward to trying Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls!
Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing, one lucky blog reader will win a copy of The Amish Cook at Home.
