Mennonite Community Cookbook: Favorite Family Recipes

Rating:
Summary: Wholly Authentic and Delicious
Review: This is fantastic collection of everyday hearty foods, made only with the simple ingredients you'd find in a turn-of-the-last-century farmhouse larder. The fanciest spice is black pepper. This cookbook has been cherished on my shelf for 25 years. The authentic recipes were culled by Ms. Showalter from Mennonite housewives -- idenitifed by name and location -- over 50 years ago. I am fortunate to have actually known some of the fine contributors, the grandmothers and great-grandmothers of high school friends. This collection of recipes is a genuine as you get.
