Overview
Betty Groff has gathered together from friends and relatives over 300 family and kitchen-tested recipes to create the definitive book on this very American cuisine. The day-to-day lives and seasonal celebrations of Lancaster County's Mennonite, Amish, Moravian, Brethren, and Quaker families are filled with foods that mirror the bounty of the farming year. Rich in history, this warm book contains all the classic favorites with an eye toward limiting their salt, cream and butter content while preserving their homemade goodness. Includes Sunshine Squash Soup, Moravian Sugar Cake, Box Panned Oysters, and much more.Editorials
Library Journal
Groff, author of two previous best-selling cookbooks, runs a restaurant in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country. Here she has gathered some 300 family recipes that are the essence of this newly rediscovered regional cuisine, accompanying them with reminiscences and cultural background. This is hearty, satisfying food: chicken pies and stews, dumplings and spatzle, lots of old-fashioned desserts. A good companion to Marcia Adams's Recipes from Quilt Country (Crown, 1989).Book Details
