She and nine friends prove it in this beautiful cookbook. Most of the authors first met on the internet, sharing recipes and stories. All but one lives in western Canada. Recipes reflect their heritage as Mennonites who German forebears fled to Russia to escape persecution. Inspired by Christ \"to share the joy of hospitality,\" they wrote their cookbook to honor the women who taught them to delight in cooking and serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDishes are hearty, but many are health-conscious. Instructions are clear, with amounts given in both conventional measure and metric weights. One of the authors, Julie Klassen, has celiac disease; she contributes gluten-free recipes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipes are tempting, but the presentation and the extras make this book a standout. Many of the photographs are stunning in their beauty. Every recipe is accompanied by a brief comment from the contributor and at least one color photo. Each author takes a page to tell her own story, so readers get to know the women behind the recipes. They add \"Bread for the Journey,\" periodic pages with scripture and reflection. Color photos adorn even the glossary and index.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProceeds are being donated to feed hungry children. Enthusiastically recommended for church libraries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e--Monica Tenney\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e--Monica Tenney, Media Review Editor \"Reviews\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eSchellenberg, Lovella\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLovella Schellenberg\u003c\/b\u003e enjoys farm life with her husband and family on the western coast of British Columbia.
