Every recipe is wonderful. The recipes are simple and taste great. Everything I've tried comes out great. Many of the recipes have become favorite standards that we enjoy time and time again. Yum!

I would give this book five stars, if only I "loved it," and did not simply "like" it. However, I will say that all of the recipes are "homey," and in my opinion also a little ordinary. That is to say that the recipes do not stand out on their own, but seem to be better when topped and eaten with ice cream, as in the case of the cakes and pies. However, one recipe I have tried that was very successful was the Chocolate Birthday Cake. Although it is simple, it is perfect, even when not made on a birthday! It tastes wonderful, and has a neat, equally nice appearance when iced. Another nice recipe from this book is the Relief Sale Sugar Cookies. I have made them on more than one occasion and am always pleased with the results, as is anyone who tries them!

Amish cooking is the best, and this has great recipes for those who want to try true amish recipes.
