Book: The Amish Cook's Anniversary Book: 20 Years of Food, Family, and Faith
Author: Lovina Eicher with Kevin Williams
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
290 pages, hardcover.
This is an incredible book of history from the pen of an Amish wife and mother. It includes full color photographs of Amish life, the scenery, the food, and activity of home life. It is charming, and depicts a simple life with a lot of old fashioned hard work.
The author, Lovina, is the daughter of Elizabeth Coblentz, who wrote a newspaper column called, "The Amish Cook." She called them "letters" and shared recipes and letters from home. She sent these to her editor, Kevin Williams, who has compiled this book. After her mother passed into Heaven, Lovina continued writing the column.
This anniversary collection provides a treat as we read about daily life in an Amish home. The book includes the very first column by Elizabeth, from August 1991. Lovina began writing in 2002. The last letter in this book is by Lovina and is written in February of 2010.
The sweet letters are endearing and inspiring. The recipes are wonderful and written in a way that is easy to follow. It is an excellent book.
