Publisher's Synopsis
When Amish housewife, Ada Schwartz, lost her husband in a tragic accident, it was left up to her to raise nine young children alone. Using the knowledge most familiar to her, she began compiling a treasury of favorite family recipes, which has withstood the test of time. Now her grown up children have reissued the cookbook, and while the cover has been enhanced, the pages are for the most part, exactly as they appeared in the original. In these pages, you will find delicious Amish recipes for breads & rolls, jams & jellies, salads, pickles & relishes, soups, casseroles, meats & main dishes, as well as the best cakes, pies, cookies & candies that Amish kitchens have to offer. Ada has also sprinkled in a little of her back country wit in the form of humorous and thought-provoking sayings. We hope you enjoy the fruits of Ada's labors and good taste in your own kitchen, and come to cherish favorites as much as her own family.
