This is a cookbook with a spiritual bent. The recipes come from the Amish community and have been collected by Brunstetter.

This title opens with an acknowledgment of what comfort foods offer. Then follow the many recipes. The sample covers beverages, breakfasts and breads. The full book will also have salads, mains, soups and desserts.

Just a few of the recipes include those for a pumpkin spice latte, egg muffins, and garlic cheddar biscuits. The directions are clear and easy to follow. Each contributor is named.

Also in the book are some reminiscences. There were some lovely photos too.

This is a nice book that will be enjoyed by its audience.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is a very simple cookbook with great homemade comfort foods that are easy to prepare. I can't wait to try a lot of these recipes, especially the homemade hot chocolate this fall. I didn't like the layout of this download on my kindle though, it cut all the pages in half and was a little awkward to read.

Thank you, Barbour Publishing and Net Galley, for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Favorite Amish Recipes that Taste Like Home and Love

Bestselling Author Wanda E Brunstetter writes lots of Amish fiction books. This is a cookbook she put together using recipes she received from Amish and Mennonite friends.

Why do we turn to food when our emotions are on a rollercoaster? Why do things like mac and cheese or chocolate chip cookies bring us comfort? Well, this book won’t answer the psychological questions, but it will deliver those foods that help you through a bad day or add to a celebratory occasion. Netgalley has only released a sample, but from what is available it looks like some really good comfort food made fresh and homemade the Amish way. There are drinks, breakfast, snacks, breads and much more. It also includes pictures with some of the recipes which I like in my cookbooks. I like to see what I’m making. Overall, I think this would be a great addition to the kitchen.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this advanced copy of Amish Friends Comfort Foods Cookbook, in exchange for an honest review.
