Elizabeth Coblentz (1936–2002)

Elizabeth Coblentz, an old order Amish, writes 'The Amish Cook' which appeared in many newspapers. I first became acquainted with the column in The Quincy Herald Whig (Quincy, IL) a local newspaper. It was the first newspaper to carry this columnist. this is a compilation of some of her articles, recipes, and her general musings. It is augmented with pieces by Kevin Williams, who was Elizabeth's editor. It is a very pleasant read. I've also made several recipes from this.

This is a great cookbook if you have Pennsylvania German or Dutch family also! Plain and simple cooking! Old favorite recipes! Very good cookbook!

In addition to the recipes, there is wonderful commentary and column excerpts from the author.

reminds me of my grandmother and my mom's cooking; incredible photos
