Good recipes, wasn't as good as a kindle read in that the formatting was odd. 4.5 ⭐

Happened upon this gem in the free cookbooks for Kindle. The recipes are fun, simple, and have wonderful ideas on how to feed many for little. I am particularly excited to try the recipe for Scalloped Tomatoes with cucumber, onion, and breadcrumbs, and the endless ways to use eggs to enhance a dish.

Some great recipes to try. I'm looking forward to trying the potato pancakes, lebkuchen, corn chowder and German egg pancakes.

I purchased this book used as an effort to recreate my nans (Great Grandmothers) home cooking / recipes. Having grown up in Lancaster county, I’m so excited to have found this book. Many of my nans cookbooks were donated or sold after her passing, which is an unfathomable loss in my opinion, alas at the time I was not considered by the rest of my family as someone who would want them. Thus I now feel a great need to rebuild that library to feel closer to my Nan and heritage. As I go through these recipes I find myself reading ingredients and techniques in their Dutch form and wondering what she would have done differently. Given the open community gathering of these recipes, not all are complete and some use language that is now lost to us such as “breaking yeast”. I am going to love testing these recipes out, very thankful to have found a hard copy to write my notes / trials in. I’ll treasure this one!

Great for inspiration and walks down memory lane...
I'm not saying everything in here sounds delicious - although many things are, there are definitely an equal amount of hilarious combinations. But.
Reading them reminded me of many things I are visiting older relatives when I was a kid (things I'd long forgotten) and as far as the things that seem like the foundation for the wacky recipes you used to see in old family clippings from the 50s- I definitely will read them and immediately get inspired about all the ways to make them more enjoyable for today. Fried corn fritters topped with syrup and sausage might sound odd- but already I'm thinking of ways to elevate it and make it the brunch highlight after a long week at work.
Get this already! It's a beautiful blast from the past, and it might even give you some ideas for your future meals.

I lived in Lancaster County, PA for almost 20 years, and enjoying the foods served at Amish and Mennonite farms was always a treat. This digital version of the cookbook gives you the recipes that these people cooked, not just for themselves, but visitors to their tables. In the beginning, there is a history of how the Pennsylvania Dutch came to the United States, and settled in PA. The recipes list ingredients and simple preparation directions. There is an Index of recipes at the back of the book.

Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking
Each recipe starts with a title, list of ingredients are included and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat, low sugar and fresh vs. canned items.
Directions are given. There are NO pics and NO nutritional information.
What I love about this book is there are recipes included that are very similar to my mother in law, a German who was raised near PA Dutch.
Love how she cooked her potato salad sauce. Such yummy and for the most part she made them healthier with the ingredients she used.
A KEEPER!

Basic cooking
This cookbook gives you a lot of basic recipes from the Pennsylvania Dutch. It is not for a beginner cook as you need to have a decent knowledge of cooking and baking to figure out the steps. They don't give you a lot of instructions and on occasion you have to guess how much flour you need. It's interesting as my mom had similar names for the recipes. All and all a taste of home ethnic cooking.

Good, Old Fashioned, Down Home Recipes
My dear Mother was a wonderful country cook. She raised most of our food and cooked everything that we ate, including many of these recipes. Comfort food!

I so glad I found this book, all the foods I grew up with. My grandmother passed away and I lost many of her recipes for some of my favorite dishes and glad to find them in this book. I would recommend many of these dishes if you never had Dutch food.

Exactly what I was looking for!
Love looking at cookbooks and this had some recipes that I thought would be there as well as a few that I hadn't expected. If you are looking for good, simple recipes this is a good one

Some old favorites in here.
This book is truly comfort food from cover to cover. Some recipe names may sound strange to you, but try them, you'll be pleased.
