Amish Cooks Across America Cookbook

Additional Details

Description: Amish Cooks Across America Cookbook explores why one Amish community in the Northeast makes Sour Cream Apple Pie while another settlement in the South favors Muscadine Pie, or why Avocado Egg Scramble is a favorite in a Florida Amish community while one in the West wakes up to Huckleberry Pancakes. 

Divided into chapters highlighting Amish developments in the north, south, east, west, and central United States, with side trips to Canada and Central America, this recipe book doubles as a travel book, sampling the cultural and culinary differences between Amish and Mennonite communities across the nation. 

For the Amish, eating local isn't just a trend. It has always been a way of life. In this collection of delicious recipes, you'll find favorites from Middle America, such as Scalloped Corn, alongside coastal dishes such as Grilled Lime Fish Fillets and Orange Supreme Pie, as well as Western staples such as Venison Summer Sausage and Grilled Moose Steaks, and Southern classics such as Sweet Potato Surprise Cake. 

This more-than-a-cookbook is filled with colorful photographs of the food, countryside, and traditions, along with profiles that explore the origins and cooking traditions of each community. This is a book like no other -- a delicious melting pot, and a fascinating armchair tour of Amish America.
