An Amish Christmas Kitchen: Three Novellas Celebrating the Warmth of the Season is a collection of three stories. These stories include:
An Amish Family Christmas by Leslie Gould
An Amish Christmas Recipe Box by Jan Drexler
An Unexpected Christmas Gift by Kate Lloyd
I enjoyed every one of these stories. I can not just pick which one I liked the best. I loved all three of them. My favorite part of the book was the recipes a the end of each story.
I give this collection four and a half stars. Recommended.

I love this time of year when Christmas books come out. If you don't already, it's a good time to reflect on why we celebrate this season. When you have 3 authors that can bring you stories that will give you the reminder why we celebrate Christmas and tug on your heart you know just how good God is for giving the gift of writing to Leslie Gould, Jan Drexler, and Kate Lloyd. So before you sit and open this book up, you must have a few things with you. Tissues, a cup of tea find your comfy spot and be prepared to be moved as you read each story.

An Amish Christmas Kitchen is Three Novellas that will bring the true meaning of the Holiday. You will be blessed with each story in this Novella.

First, you will have Leslie Gould's An Amish Family Christmas story and meet Noelle, As Noelle prepares to take over the family business she will learn more about herself and other events that have been haunting her for a while. An amazing story of forgiveness and love. I know you will love it as much as I did. Thank you, Leslie, for a touching story.

Next, we have An Amish Christmas Recipe Box by Jan Drexler and here you will meet Ada Weaver who is concerned that she will never find the right person that will love her and just want to be with her. Ada is taken by the newest Amos who is just downright rude and Ada doesn't see the perfect man right in front of her. Many times we often don't see the things right in front of us until we are hurt. A great story of listening to what God has planned for us. Thank you, Jan for a wonderful story and recipe.

This last story in this Novella is written by Kate Lloyd Unexpected Christmas Gift. Here is where you may have to grab a few more tissues for this story.

Have you ever had a feeling that feeling down deep inside thinking to yourself, I don't belong, I'm different? Well, Maria has felt that way for a while. She learns through a DNA test that she had been adopted. She sets out and hopes to find something familiar in Lancaster, PA. when the test relieves there is a match. but when things don't seem to turn out the way she thought Kate puts a twist and big surprise that will leave you gasping.
A wonderful story of showing love, grace, and understanding to those who don't understand the true love of God.

Here are three sweet novellas that will get you in the Christmas spirit! Each focuses on an Amish woman who is overcoming something, and there are delicious-looking recipes included at the end of each story. The kitchen features prominently in the romances, as you can imagine from the title. Perfect for fans of Amish fiction!

What a fun Amish Christmas trio of novellas! Each novella can be read as a standalone as they are all by different authors and about different characters. Each novella is a delight to read as you get a peek into 3 different Amish families during the Christmas season. GREAT book!

This book is 3 novellas by three of the best Amish Fiction authors out there. Each story is unique and captivating. I enjoyed all three and would recommend these to friends who like this kind of story. I have read some weird Amish fiction lately and none of these stories are like that. They are all realistic, intriguing stories about Amish / Mennonite people and how they live today. I love these books of Christmas stories from favorite authors and the fact that this is both Christmas and Amish fiction makes it even more fun.

I received a Kindle copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
