Title: The Beverly Lewis Amish Heritage Cookbook
 Author: Beverly Lewis
Publisher: Bethany House
ISBN: 0-7642-2917-6
Genre: Nonfiction/Cookbook

Bestselling author Beverly Lewis shares recipes from her grandmother’s recipe box, along with some from the Amish community where she grew up. The recipes include ice cold lemonade, shoofly pie, chow-chow, Amish haystacks, among many others too numerous to mention.

 

Sprinkled among the recipes are quotes from some of Beverly Lewis’ books where she mentions the food, verses, and quotes, as well as handwritten notes by Beverly telling more about the recipe.

 

The recipes have been adapted for today’s busy cooks and so some of the recipes include modern convenience foods, which disappointed me. The busy working woman who doesn’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen will enjoy the shortcuts though. Instead of having to make everything from scratch they can buy mixes and still try some Amish foods.
