Synopsis: A tasty collection of Amish recipes from different regions of the United States. 
 
My rating: 4 Stars
 
My opinion: Looking at regional lifestyles and foods of Amish, this book was interesting. Not only were the foods interesting because they were a whole lot regional foods, such as quesadillas in the southwest and buffalo/moose in the west, the author wrote about how the Amish utilize prepared foods, such as rice krispies and Cool Whip,into their cooking. I had always assumed this was a huge NO-NO! 

Recipes were laid out well and used very easy to find ingredients. Most were simple to prepare for even the most novice chef.

Would I recommend? : Yes, I thought this had some great down home recipes in it and a number of really kid friendly recipes. I can't say that I would recommend this as an entertainment cookbook unless for picnics and barbeques.
