What a great cookbook! The material is well written and presented in an easy to follow manner. I look forward to trying out several of these recipes.

Interesting well written easy to follow recipes

Thinking about buying a scrapbook for my mom because she’s been looking for one

Simply fantastic

As always thinking that galley for sending me this review copy

Yes I was in a review copy of it all thoughts and opinions are mine

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I enjoyed that there were both savory and sweet recipes included. There were boxes with baking tips throughout the book that I found helpful. While I was looking through this book and reading the recipes I found myself thinking about farmers' markets especially for the rolls and bread. I pictures that were includes made some of the recipes more appealing and made me want to try to make them. The breakfast section was one of my favorites. It made me want to try to make them and I am not really a traditional breakfast person. There were some quotes include that I thought were a nice touch.

I can't wait to get my hands on the full version of this baking cookbook. The recipes look so good! I can't wait to see what is included in the final version.

Fantastic pictures, great recipes and all around fantastic recipes from Amish cooks. I will be making some of these great recipes.

Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Baking Cookbook is a nicely varied collection of recipes from the Amish community, ranging from sweet to savory, cookies to pizza dough. Everything is well organized and easy to follow, with no hard-to-find ingredients. The only fault I have is that I love well illustrated cookbooks, and this one has only a few photographs of the finished products. Even so, this will be a well-used addition to my cookbook shelf.

I'm grateful to Netgalley and Barbour Publishing for the opportunity to read and review Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Baking Cookbook.

Wanda Brunstetter has done it again., another great cookbook. This time it's all baking recipes. This book is filled with yummy, easy recipes. There are beautiful pictures through out, along with a brief history of the Amish. This is a must have for all bakers.
I can't wait to try out the recipes.
I was given an ARC by Barbour Publishing for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley, Wanda E. Brunstetter and Barbour Books for Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Baking Cookbook -Sample. This is my personal review.
I love cookbooks. This is much more than the average cookbook. The introduction was beautiful telling us why she loves to bake. And followed by a short history of Amish and Mennonites. The photos are wonderful all the way through the book. I especially liked the name of the person who contributed the recipe and where they were from.
The recipes are easy to follow. Perfect for the beginner baker and the expert bakers will also like this cookbook.
The tips and hints at the bottom of some of the pages were very helpful.
This will be added to my cookbook collection and given as gifts.

This cookbook features great recipes and beautiful pictures. The pastry recipes were especially delicious. I really liked the font and the way the recipes are organized.

I've been looking for something other than the usual recipes you find in off the shelf cookbook. I certainly found that here. Now please be aware I'm from the UK so conversions was not easy. But I did try a recipe called classic chocolate chip cookies.

Mistakenly, I did not read the amount of cookies and ended up with 10 dozen. Fortunately my neighbours were thrilled and have been asked to make more. Now I only got a sample of the book. So I really need to purchase it I guess because the cookies were great.

Just one question. Are Amish families large? I know very little about their culture but their baking recipes are excellent.

I've enjoyed looking through this book and am going to attempt some more. So if you want something different grab this and enjoy. Your home will smell really wonderful.

Amish Friends Baking Cookbook is the latest cookbook by best selling author Wanda Brunstetter. It is a lovely addition to her collection of Amish cookbooks. With a colorful cover and spiral binding, this is not only pretty but practical as it can be placed flat on the counter while make a scrumptious recipe.

Sprinkled throughout the book are tidbits, quotes, stories, and beautiful pictures. I found myself reading through this like I would a novel, from cover to cover. There are so many delicious recipes I want to try. Breads, cookies, pies, and even breakfast items as just a few of the categories.

Author Brunstetter’s Amish friends from various Amish areas submitted recipes for this. There is a plethora of recipes with each category divided into a section. In the back are different indexes to help easily locate particular recipes.

These are down home recipes that everyday bakers will enjoy. Ingredients are common and not specialty items that might send you to the store. Some of the recipes looked familiar and were in previous cookbooks. Having a book with all of the baking recipes in it will be very convenient.

With Fall here and the holidays fast approaching, this is the perfect kitchen addition. It would make a nice gift for a birthday, Wedding Shower, or Christmas. Any Amish or cookbook fan and baker would be delighted with this. It gets a five star rating from me. A copy was provided by Barbour Publishing but these are my honest words.

My patrons love cookbooks - especially those by this author! This is a great collection of basic recipes - gorgeous pictures and advice. This one will be a hit!

This had a wonderful sample of Amish recipes! Not many pictures, but this seems to be the norm for Amish cookbooks!! There is a few pictures, but not many. The recipes were fantastic and different that I have see in most cookbooks. It had a nice variety. This was only a sample of the book though, so there could be more pictures. Regardless if there are more or not, I personally would LOVE to own this cookbook and will definitely purchase this once it is published!

I love the cookbooks by Wanda Brunstetter and now she has added another great one to her collection.

One of the great advantages to living close to the Amish is getting to enjoy their cooking, especially their desserts. You will definitely want to add this to your cookbook collection.

As with all her other cookbooks, this one is full of beautiful photography of the foods.

There are nearly 200 recipes broken down by indexes by Contributors, Recipes by Section, and Recipes by Key Ingredients.

I look forward to trying many of the recipes for cooking and homemade remedies.

I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and NetGalley and the opinions expressed are my own.

This was a sample book that opened me up to some new recipes ideals. I would like to see more from this author.

Thank you for the chance to review this book. A lot of interesting recipes for large batch baking. Not sure if it was because it's a preview or my Kindle application but I wasn't able to see the pictures. A good variety to choose from.

Thank you Wanda Brunstetter and NetGalley for the opportunity to check this out!

As I read this cookbook, I imagined the aroma of cinnamon as Amish Friendship Bread bakes. In anticipation of Autumn, I visualized a slice of Pumpkin roll paired with a mug of hot coffee. And, oh, how I long for a bite of a chewy Honey Sugar Cookie. Ms. Brunstetter's book is a treat for all of the senses as she shares recipes from her Amish friends.
As a bonus to the almost 200 delicious recipes, a short background on Amish history was shared. Seasoned bakers and beginners will love the various sections featuring recipes for a variety of bars, cakes, pies, breads, savory and breakfast bakes, pastries and deserts. The recipe format is straight forward and well organized, with each one featuring the yield, ingredients, equipment, and instructions, as well as the name, town, and state of the baker who provided it. Pretty photos are included of some baked goods as well as Amish country and scenes. Helpful baking tips are interspersed in the book on topics such as measuring and pie crusts.
This pleasing cookbook would be a wonderful gift, alone or tucked in a basket with some baking ingredients or some fresh baked items from the recipes. I highly recommend it to bakers as a source of delightful recipes and culture from the Amish community. I personally can't wait to make the Granola, Morning Glory Muffins, and Healthy Apple Crisp.
Thank you to Net Galley and Barbour Publishing for the advanced reader's copy and the opportunity to provide my unbiased review.

Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Baking Cookbook: Nearly 200 Delightful Baked Goods Recipes from Amish Kitchens by Wanda E. Brunstetter is currently scheduled for release on September 1 2021. This review is based on a good sized sample of the book provided through Netgalley.


Fresh-baked buns or cookies waiting for a child’s after-school snack is a delight many of us remember from our own mothers’ and grandmothers’ kitchens. You can now share the joy of baking for and with your own family through dozens of recipes provided by Amish bakers. Ideas for breads, rolls, cakes, cookies, and more will keep you busy taste testing and sharing all the goodies. Also included are step-by-step instructions, baking tips, and anecdotes from Amish bakers. Encased in a lay-flat binding and presented in full color, home bakers of all ages will be delighted to add this cookbook to their collections.

Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Baking Cookbook is a well written and organized cookbook for baked goods. I thought the baking tips and explanations were helpful, even as a fairly experienced baker. I even enjoyed learning a bit about the history of the Amish and Mennonite history, when usually I skim through the background and personal stories and rush ahead to the actual recipes. I found the recipes and instructions to be well written and easy to follow, and the pictures enticing to the point where I am going to try out a couple this weekend. I think this book will be perfect for those interested in the author and the subject matter. It might not be one for my personal collect (thinks to being out of room) but is one that I would definitely borrow from the library or recommend for those looking to expand their collection.

For anyone who loves to bake sweet things and make delicious homemade desserts. This is good old-fashioned tried and true stuff, the kinds of recipes you would be proud to bring to any gathering.

I love reading Wanda Brunstetter’s Amish books, so I was excited to read this cookbook. Mrs. Brunstetter weaves in stories and pictures, along with the recipes. I am a busy, working mom. I like recipes that are delicious AND easy. This book checks off both of those boxes for me. Many of the recipes use ingredients that most home cooks will already have in their house. That is another plus.
This is the book you will go to when you need something for a family get together or a school bake sale. I was able to whip up brownies when friends popped over using the cocoa powder I already had in my cabinet. They were delicious! I need to try the sheet pan Whoopie Pies next.
I would like to thank Barbour Books and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
