I loved the recipes throughout. I especially loved the recipes for the candies. There is also a page or two before every section of the book that explains a few of the Amish happenings around Christmas and the days after. I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Christmas Cookbook By: Wanda E. Brunstetter Softcover 224 pages Reprint Published September 1st 2014 by Barbour Books & Shiloh Run Press ISBN1628363908 (ISBN13: 9781628363906) There was a time in my life, that I believed that every great book could make me laugh, cry and be packaged up into a pretty little package. My hubby laughed at me, when I told him that we had found THE ONE cookbook and we could get rid of all the rest. Then, he cried when I made: Breakfast Crepes! He had not had crepes, since he was a child. He loved to watch the batter be turned around and around, as they cooked. There's a lot of great stuff in this cookbook. All kinds of Amish information, facts and stories. You get to learn, all about Amish Christmas Traditions. And, a lot of our family's favorite recipes, in someone else's book. I probably will pitch, most of our other cookbooks and that will leave me having the last laugh. And, I still believe. I received a complimentary copy of this book, from Shiloh Run Press and Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Christmas Cookbook By: Wanda E. Brunstetter Softcover 224 pages Reprint Published September 1st 2014 by Barbour Books & Shiloh Run Press ISBN1628363908 (ISBN13: 9781628363906) Reviewed by: Tina Hoover There is much to love about this cookbook. It is very similar to “Wanda E. Brunstetter’s Amish Friends Gatherings Cookbook” in format and design. It features spiral, lay-flat binding and gorgeous color photos throughout, as well as glossy pages that are easy to wipe off if lightly sullied by ingredients. Brunstetter opens her “Amish Friends Christmas Cookbook” with a concise history of the Amish and Mennonites and a succint description of an Amish Christmas, which focuses foremost on the birth of Christ. Between each section of the cookbook are more brief insights into an Amish holiday season. I particularly enjoyed learning about their “Second Christmas” on December 26 because that is my birthday, and I love that they spend it visiting with close friends and just relaxing. Also of note is that they observe “Old Christmas” on January 6, which is referred to as Epiphany in the English world. With a Bible verse at the beginning of each category, this is a nice collection of recipes for the experienced cook. Due, I’m assuming, to limited space, the directions are laconic. Most do not express a serving size, an at times inconvenient omission. In a couple of the recipes, a hyphen was missing and it made the wording confusing: “Roll up jelly roll-style” should have been “Roll up jelly-roll-style”. I have to admit that I was disappointed by the fact that almost all of the recipes use store-bought, processed ingredients rather than homemade. None of the recipes are exclusively reserved as gluten-free, although some of them are naturally and the others can be made so by substituting gluten-free ingredients. It is neat that each recipe is credited with the contributor’s name and location. My favorite section was “Gifts from the Kitchen” because it featured items and recipes that could be gathered into gifts, such as the cookie or soup mixes in glass jars that you see in stores. The three indices at the end are very helpful, enabling a look-up of recipes by contributor, category, or key ingredients. While this may not be the best cookbook for novices or for those seeking recipes with solely homemade ingredients, Wanda Brunstetter’s “Amish Friends Christmas Cookbook” is nevertheless a beautiful and fun collection of recipes and facts. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
This beautiful cookbook is a hardcover, spiral bound book filled with delectable delights from Amish communities around the country. You don't need to wait for Christmas to enjoy the wonderful recipes contained in this beautifully illustrated cookbook. From Silly Putty to Gelatin Rollups to Cranberry Chicken, Haystack, Pumpkin Whoopie Pies and Christmas Cake, this compilation of Amish Christmas recipes is complete from snacks to dessert. Filled with Amish Christmas traditions steeped in history, accompanied by scripture and kitchen hints, this cookbook would make a beautiful gift. I can't wait to make some of the recipes in this cookbook! Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book as a gift from the publisher and Wanda Brunstetter with no expectations for a positive review.
