Description
“Cooking From Quilt Country” subtitled “Hearty Recipes from Amish and Mennonite Kitchens” cookbook by Marcia Adams. Published by Clarkson Potter / Publishers in 1989, this is a first edition, fifth printing. The book is a hard cover with a dust jacket measuring 7¾ x 10¼ inches with 202 pages; the price of $24.95 is printed on the interior flap of the dust jacket. The author autographed the book on the front free endpaper. The cookbook is in very good gently used condition; flipping through quickly, the pages appear to be clean and unmarked but the back of the dust jacket is torn at the bottom.
Synopsis
The cookbook includes nearly 200 family recipes from America’s heartland, a culinary folk history of the Indiana Amish and Mennonites. This celebration of farm life is a companion volume to the PBS series hosted by Adams. It not only contains authentic ethnic recipes, it tells a factual, beautiful story of the Amish and Mennonite communities. The 64 full-color photographs are breath-taking. It has some really wonderful recipes that are authentic to the culture, unlike so many recipes in other similar cookbooks that list canned soup in the ingredients as well as recipes that are not part of farm life. This cookbook is the real thing.
