My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amish Friends Christmas Cookbook is a cute little cookbook that was interesting to look through. I hadn’t made fresh bread for awhile, so I decided to try Homemade Bread. This is a simple recipe that makes three loaves, but don’t let that put you off. It tastes wonderful and you’ll have no trouble finding someone to help you eat it!

There are some great from scratch recipes like the bread, but some have multiple ingredients that are pre-processed foods. I left those alone and still found plenty to keep me interested! From a great start to your day with a dish like Gold Rush Brunch, to a light lunch like Oriental Chicken Salad, a hearty supper like Potato Soup–only it’s truly loaded with yumminess!–and sweet delights such as Black Midnight Cake, a myriad of fudges or classic Buckeyes, there is a multitude of dishes to choose from.

If you are a seasoned cook that doesn’t like shortcuts, this may not be the first cookbook you’d reach for, but if you are a beginner, or just like to keep recipes around that are quick to put together, you’re sure to love this cute cookbook!
