Lanc. Co. Amish Cookbook

I loved this cookbook. It was published in 1982.355 pages. It came in like new condition.

Fabulous book however I didn’t expect it to be used. Had to clean it up before handling in my kitchen.

Great product, awesome price, fast service!!

The cook book has given me so many new menu's to tickle the palates of my family

If it had pictures, it would be the perfect cookbook, but given the source of recipes that may never exist and may be part of its charm. But the recipes are home grown and well tested.

"Lancaster County Amish Cookbook" is a locally-produced effort of recipes collected by two local women. It is a totally no-frills cookbook, without any mouth-watering pictures or introductory material or interesting anecdotes about the culture. It consists almost exclusively of recipes, and that's what makes it such a treasure. There are more than a thousand recipes in this spiral-bound book. These recipes include breads and pancakes, soups and sandwiches, salads and dressings, casseroles, cakes, pies, cookies, jams and jellies, beverages, and more. At the end there are some helpful hints, such as advice on how to remove corn silk and how to perk up wilted vegetables. There is also a complete index in the back of the book.Because these recipes were collected from local folk there is no guarantee that they will all turn out perfectly. (I seriously doubt that the compilers of this cookbook tested them before including them in the book.) But that's to be expected with a cookbook of this sort.One real benefit is that most of these recipes have a limited number of ingredients and ones that are easy to procure. Amish and Mennonite cooking is not fancy and does not use esoteric ingredients that can only be found at a specialty store. So, for the cook who likes to keep it simple while at the same time creating tasty, nourishing food, this cookbook will be quite useful.

They're just flour and salt and egg and butter, maybe. Hell, I'll make them.Mrs: It's not as easy as it sounds.KLC: Nonsense. I'll just get out the Lancaster County Amish Cookbook.Mrs: That book is a tourist trash. It's not real.KLC: What? I bought it from a real Amish girl, what are you talking about?Mrs: The book is terrible.KLC: She had the accent and the bonnet. I gotta get you one of those bonnets.Mrs: Shut up.KLC: Okay, I'll just look up the recipe for making noodles...huh, there's no entry. Okay, here's Turkey Noodle Encore, that will have a noodle recipe.Mrs: Right.KLC: Here's what it says: Cook noodles as directed on package. WTF?Mrs: You never listen to me. That book is a fake they sell to tourists.KLC: Well, I still like the bonnet.Mrs: Shut up.
