Amish Cooking Basic Enough for Beginners
Fans of New York Times bestselling author Wanda E. Brunstetter’s Amish romance novels are invited to go back to cooking basics with characters from the bestselling Amish Cooking Class series. Heidi Troyer, her students, and other contributors share over 200 practical recipes for use in any kitchen, along with tips to keep things running smoothly. From learning how to boil eggs and knead biscuits to building a German Pizza and an Amish Haystack feast, The Amish Cooking Class Cookbook includes something beneficial for every age and skill set. Divided into traditional cookbook categories, there is a recipe everyone will find to love.
If you’re looking for an Amish cookbook—this one does have many Amish recipes that you may enjoy. However, be warned that this book compliments Wanda Brunstetter’s book series, The Amish Cooking Class. The beginning of the book focuses on characters from the series, their profiles, and favorite foods. This may seem strange to you if you’re picking this book up solely as a cookbook.
I love that this book gives a lot of tips and tricks for newbies. How to keep potatoes from turning brown while peeling or how to make staples such as bone broth. This would be a wonderful gift for a newlywed or someone who new to the kitchen.
The recipes are broken down into sections as follows:
Beverages
Bread and Rolls
Breakfast Foods
Desserts
Spreads and Pickles
Main Dishes
Soups
Salads and Sides
Snacks, Dips, and Spices
Miscellaneous Recipes
Recipes for Children
I’ve heard this book also contains recipes for DIY projects such as cleaners but my review copy is only a sample. Which is disappointing. But, I will definitely be purchasing a copy. I was able to sample enough of this book that I would definitely suggest it to others.
