My Thoughts

I love to bake, cookies, cakes and bread. I received a Kitchen Aid for Christmas from hubby and he says that after 32 years of marriage that this the best gift he has ever gotten for me. I have to agree. Years ago I learned how to make bread from our 84 year old landlady, I was recently married and I so wanted to learn how to make pie crust and home made bread. I did learn and was pretty successful at both, but raising a family and working full time pretty much put a halt to my skills, and now that I am retired I love that I have the time to bake again. I have been baking homemade bread since I received the mixer and I am always looking for new recipes. We all love it when I make bread and they turn out, as you have to have the knack for it. I have to say that a fresh loaf of bread does not last long, I am always being asked "is it cool enough to cut?"

When I saw that The Amish Baking Cookbook was available I requested it right away. I love the simplicity of the recipes and the abundance of selections of the different bake goods. I have used quite a few of the recipes and this book is my go to cookbook now and with winter on it's way, what is better than a pot of home made soup or chili and a fresh warm loaf of bread to go with it. Plus any one of the deserts to follow up a great meal. 

I highly recommend this cookbook for the person who loves home made baked items.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and was not monetarily compensated for said review.
