Publisher's Synopsis
It's no secret the Amish grow their own food and raise cattle on their farms, and their hearty dishes are served family-style. Many of the gardens in the region are full of traditional ingredients such as carrots, potatoes, sweetcorn, tomatoes, celery, peas, and other common vegetables. Food is one of the methods of celebration among the Amish. Sharing a meal or a snack is a great way to fellowship. Most meals are topped off with desserts. They can range from a layered jello dessert to cake to ice cream to homemade pies. The sweet tooth reigns in Amish communities. Many of the recipes that are a hit with the visitors are improved by the addition of sugar while they are being made.
