I wanted to love this book, but it fell short for one simple reason; ingredients. When I bought this book I had hoped for a truly rustic and from-scratch experience; in the end I was sorely disappointed. There's nothing traditional or rustic about store-bought Velveeta or Margarine, thus my love for this book dwindled. Had the ingredients in these recipes been more true-to-form, I would've liked them much better.

I expected Amish recipes to have more farm to table recipes with fresh ingredients. There are too many recipes in here with can of junk soups, Velveeta, Worcestershire, hot dogs, instant oatmeal, and other processed stuff. There are still some useable recipes, but it’s a shame that the recipes with processed stuff were included at all.

I checked out two Amish cookbooks from the library and this one wasn't nearly as helpful as the other, which was The Best Of Amish Cooking
