As Mennonites began moving beyond their home communities during the Second World War, they were learning to cook new foods and were less apt to use the old recipes learned from home. She also noticed that Mennonite communities in various states and provinces had similarities, so she assumed they had common roots and were old favourites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReading these recipes was very interesting, especially since they were collected so many years ago. This cookbook is a historical document that can show how Mennonite cooking has changed over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e--Barb Draper \"Reviews\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI rely on my pantry when it comes to trying a new recipe and I look for recipes that only take ingredients I would normally stock in my pantry. This \u003ci\u003eMennonite Community Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e by Dr. Mary Emma Showalter has just that. She highlights a simple cooking style with this collection of old-fashion Mennonite recipes, while mixing in some traditional values and food history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the recipes in this cookbook come from over 125 women located in Mennonite communities throughout the United States and Canada. All the recipes remind me of how my mother and grandmother taught me how to cook. Not with fancy pre-packaged food, but with ingredients that were always stocked in their pantry. Using produce and meat that was raised right on the farm to make good old-fashion hearty meals. My kind of cooking!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e If you love to cook with common ingredients, and want to provide healthy hearty meals for your family, I would highly recommend \u003ci\u003eMennonite Community Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e by Dr. Mary Emma Showalter.\u003c\/p\u003e--Tracy Fredrychowski \"Reviews\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of my guilty pleasures is collecting cookbooks, so when someone contacted me recently asking if I would be willing to review a cookbook for them I jumped at the chance to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eMennonite Community Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with over 1,100 authentic Amish\/Mennonite recipes. Many of which I recognize of things we used to eat at Grandma's house. I can't wait to make some of the pudding recipes later this week, in fact I might just try the Cracker Pudding recipe first. It's something my children have yet to be introduced to, and I used to love it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Fashioned Bean Soup, or as we used to call it; Bread Soup which is often served at some Amish church meals is included.

Mary Emma Showalter compiled favorite recipes from hundreds of Mennonite women across the United States and Canada noted for their excellent cooking into this book of more than 1,100 recipes. These tantalizing dishes came to this country directly from Dutch, German, Swiss, and Russian kitchens. Old-fashioned cooking and traditional Mennonite values are woven throughout. Original directions like \"a dab of cinnamon\" or \"ten blubs of molasses\" have been standardized to help you get the same wonderful individuality and flavor. Showalter introduces each chapter with her own nostalgic recollection of cookery in grandma's day--the pie shelf in the springhouse, outdoor bake ovens, the summer kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1950, \u003ci\u003eMennonite Community Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e has become a treasured part of many family kitchens.
