Kathy Yoder's artful combination of devotional storytelling and recipe-sharing show us that the most important ingredient in every recipe is love. Simple recipes cooked with great love will please every member of the family.

As we cook Yoder's from-scratch recipes, we learn that the process of cooking and baking helps us appreciate the God from whom all good things come.

This cookbook is a little treasure.

This is a very nice little comb-bound paperback written by an Amish woman, and filled with her family's favorite recipes, and some warm comments about their faith. However, it is currently selling for over $40 plus shipping - which is utterly ridiculous. For that price, you'd be much better advised to purchase a few of Maria Adams's cookbooks, filled with tried-and-true Amish and Mennonite favorites which were collected and tested by the author. I'm not putting down Ms. Yoder's book; just pointing out that it is a small book which was never intended to sell for big bucks. Although I liked it very much, I would have been much more impressed if the recipes were preceded by brief descriptions explaining why the author considers them special. JMHO.

People who are interested in good food, good family stories and good devotional writing will like this book. The recipes are authentic Amish dishes. The stories are heartwarming. The devotions are taken from every day life. It's wonderful to see the divine in the simple.
