This review is from: Mennonite Food and Folkways from South Russia, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)

This is a true classic history/cookbook combination, outlining the emigrations of the Mennonites from country to country, and which recipies they started out with, which they picked up in each country. Not only are the recipies researched by the author, they are definitely GOOD and true to tradition. This coupled with anecdotes of the times, photos makes for interesting reading.

This is the book I would have wanted to write myself, as I have always wondered where our family recipies actually originated. I am sorry it is out of print as it is something people of the Mennonite persuasion from the southern Russia area would find a treasure. I have given this (along with Volume II) as a gift whenever I can find it.
