Product Description
Showalter has collected 1,100 recipes--tantalizing dishes brought to this country directly from old Dutch, German, Swiss, and Russian kitchens--from hundreds of Mennonite women noted for their excellent cooking. Each chapter is introduced by the author's own nostalgic recollection of cooking in her grandmother's day. Color photos and illustrations throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent general cookbook for any one, October 7, 2003
By A. L. Miller "windsparrow" (Minneapolis, Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This cookbook often gives more than one recipe for a given dish, some simpler, some more difficult. That makes this a great cookbook for a beginner, as well as for those looking for good old-fashioned recipes. I was a vegetarian from the big city when a college roommate introduced me to this cookbook. Even though this is not a vegetarian cookbook, there is a wider variety of meatless recipes, particularly soups than one might expect. Not only are there many terrific recipes, there are also helpful household hints - my favorite being a list of what to cook for a barn-raising. Not that I expect to need that, but it is very interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite cookery books!, August 24, 2000
By A Customer
It is a tradition in my dad's family that every bride receives a copy of this cookbook. It is one of the best for good, stick-to-your-ribs, downhome cooking. There are NO light,low fat recipes here, but you can adjust the fat and sodium in the recipes. The Devilsfood chocolate cake recipe is my all-time favorite, and the Maraschino Cherry Cake is a good one, too. Try the 7-minute Icing on it! Can't say enough about it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest cookbooks, October 9, 2001
By Courtney (Kennewick, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
I love this cookbook from the Mennonite Community. The meals are hearty and delicous. I much rather take the time to make these meals then to eat processed and store bought foods.
