Gather Around the Amish Table by Lucy Leid ~ Review

Gather around the Amish Table: Treasured Recipes and Stories from Plain Communities
My Review:

A wonder book full of easy to make recipes, made from affordable ingredients.

Our family tried out three of the recipes, all of which turned out great, and are things that would could definitely see ourselves making again.

This was a lovely cookbook filled with full color photographs and little snippets from the author about each of the recipes and the stories behind them.

One nice thing about this cookbook is that there aren't a ton of weird expensive ingredients and everything is super easy to make. my favorite recipe was the one for the 8 minuted cheesecake, the only thin that I did differently was that I topped it with sugared pineapple and raspberries.

Overall, I thought it was a great cookbook, and I look forward to trying more of the recipes from Mrs. Leid and her family!
