ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Jerry Eicher’s bestselling Amish fiction (more than 210,000 in combined sales) includes The Adams County Trilogy, the Hannah’s Heart books, and the Little Valley Series. After a traditional Amish childhood, Jerry taught for two terms in Amish and Mennonite schools in Ohio and Illinois. Since then he’s been involved in church renewal, preaching, and teaching Bible studies. Jerry lives with his wife, Tina, and their four children in Virginia.

Tina Eicher was born and married in the Amish faith, surrounded by a mother and sisters who were great Amish cooks. At fellowship meals and family gatherings, Tina’s dishes receive high praise and usually return empty. She and her husband, Jerry Eicher, author of several bestselling Amish fiction titles, are the parents of four children and live in Virginia.

My Thoughts:

This lovely spiral bound cookbook is packed full of delicious and appetizing recipes. From Amish Root Beer to Perfect Peppermint Patties to Sour Cream Twists, one can find recipes to please everyone in the family!  I have been having a great time trying new recipes out on the family, and was both surprised and extremely pleased to come across some of our family favorites as well. Everyone enjoyed many of the dishes including Broccoli Cheese Casserole and the Strawberry Pretzel Dessert. I took the Strawberry Pretzel Dessert with me to a pot luck and recieved many requests for the recipe.

This is a wonderful addition to any cooking library!!!
