I ordered several of these small pamplet-like cookbooks and was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful recipes inside. Many excellent cream and fruit pie recipes with that special taste you can't buy at the grocery store. Easy to read and no nonsense. Lots of goodness (and recipes) in a small book.

I have all of these adorable little 'Cook Books from Amish Kitchens', and have really enjoyed them. The are very small and simple... the complete opposite of a coffee-table/display-style cookbooks we see most often today. This is a thin pamphlet with matte paper and does not include interior photos of any recipes (excluding the cover). The text is in a handwritten-style font and clearly explained. The recipes are very homey with basic ingredients; nothing fancy. Simple, delicious recipes in a simple, small booklet. RECOMMENDED.

Of course I can make pies as long as I have a frozen pie shell. No need for that with these simple and simply delicious recipes. I've got every imaginable gadget and appliance in my kitchen and there is absolutely no excuse not to make my own pie crust from the easy recipes. I know for a fact that my husband loves Shoo Fly Pie and I have never in my life made it. Why not? He had it in Pennsylvania at an Amish Community Restaurant some years back and gets that far away look in his eyes when he talks about the food there. The Raisin Pie recipe sounds delicious as do the Sour Cream Apple Pie and the Lemon Crumb Pie.

And just what is a Montgomery Pie? Buy the Cook Book from Amish Kitchens for Pies and find out.

This is a small booklet, not a 'cookbook'. I had known that by reading other reviews so I had decided to try just ordering one of them until I made sure I was happy with the item. I won't be using all the recipes in this little book, but some are different enough to make me happy I made the purchase, and I will now also probably order one or two more of them that I was interested in. No pictures for those of you that enjoy them...but once again, book arrived early, well packaged, and in brand new condition!
