The Hert of the Amish Cookbook: 190 Amish Recipes
Barbour
This book would be worth purchasing for the photographs, with 180 recipes you are getting two books in one. The photographs are magnificent. The Amish do not allow their face to be photographed but the images of them from behind are powerful. Some of the photographs depict their farms; one picture shows a beautiful 3 story white home with snow covered fields, smoke coming out of the chimney and the sun peeking out of the clouds. There is a photograph of corn shocks in a field, in the background you can see a house, silo, barn and windmill; what a beautiful fall scene. There is a photo of the men cutting hay with a horse drawn mower, men in the field with pitchforks gathering the hay into small stacks; in the background you can see the tall stalks of corn as well as the house, barn and windmill. The Amish children work hard and play hard.
This book has 180 delicious recipes; this book is only a sample of what’s actually inside the book. The Morning Glory Muffins sound delicious with cinnamon, grated carrots, raisins, nuts, coconut, apple and wheat flour. The homemade Granola sounds healthy. I definitely want a piece of Walnut Wonder Coffee Cake. The Breakfast Tarts sound delicious filled with potatoes, bacon, and cheese. There is a recipe for Pancake Pizza that has it all: eggs, cheese, sausage gravy, bacon, served on a pancake with Maple Syrup. The Wreck is a breakfast dish popular at a local Amish restaurant. It has a biscuit with ham, bacon, or sausage, hash browns, pepper and onions, shredded cheese topped by Sausage Gravy.
I plan to try the recipe for Melt-In-Your-Mouth Biscuits soon as well as the Butterhorns. This book has delicious recipes and photos that will have you dreaming of visiting an Amish farm.
I received a complimentary digital copy of this book for review purposes. My reviews express my unbiased opinions.

The recipes look delicious from what I could read in the small sample given. However there are no portions indicated. How many muffins does one recipe make, how much granola does another recipe give and how many pancakes?? It is not very useful. Living alone, I don’t want to end up with 15 cups of granola or 30 muffins (even if I can freeze them) Unfortunately, we only have access to the breakfast chapter of the cookbook.

The topics name for each chapter are brilliant. The pictures are gorgeous. This was a sample reading so I wasn’t able to see the whole book but what I did see was fantastic. This is a book well worth getting and putting in a collection.

There are many yummy sounding recipes in The Heart Of The Amish Cookbook and I have tried a few of them already and they turned out delicious. I can’t wait to try more of the recipes.

Heart of the Amish cookbook ★★★★☆
╰┈➤ This cookbook had just the right amount of sweet and savory to show us how the Amish crave a simpler life (so to say) while not compromising on stunning dishes. It’s not secret that the Amish create legendary food, so when I saw this cookbook I knew I wanted to take a peek.
While I only got a small taste of the full cookbook, I was impressed by the options. Not only was I impressed to find a gluten free recipe (I haven’t been able to eat gluten for most of my life) but I also found that this book is impossible to read without sitting close to a kitchen :)
If you’re in the mood for putting on an apron and making some dishes you and your table mates are sure to enjoy then this is the book for you!
And as a bonus, I was deeply impressed with the graphics inside of the book. Many of the recipes have photos to go along with (something I look for in any cookbook I want to own), as well as having beautiful quotes and verses pages with barns and the great outdoors.
I didn’t leave a full five stars due to some of the complexity of some of the recipes, and due to the lack of variety in recipes. However I am aware I didn’t read a full copy thus only reduced one star.
Special thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a complimentary snippet of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to leave a positive review!
