1. This book has been in our collection for 2 1/2 years. In that time it has supplied our home with savoury scents, creative cuisine and lessons in cooking of great value. The only "red light" I can forsee is the dessert section. If you don't like fruit in your dessert - you will be terribly disappointed in this section. However, the perogy recipe and the comforting meals will make up for that fault. The ingredients are healthy and easy to gather. Plus for the American's reading this review: the recipes are well tested in the Canadian Living Magazine which is a favorite to the Canadian public. A wonderful addition to your recipe library.

5 comments about Food That Really Schmecks (Life Writing).

1. Excellent cookbook with easy to follow recipes, accompanied by wonderful, funny anecdotes!



2. If I could only have 2 or 3 cookbooks, this would be one of them. I have been using this and "More Food that Really Schmecks" for years. The recipes are easy, interesting and taste great! There's a no-nonsense, comforting quality to them. The short stories add interest. I have over 400 cookbooks and keep going back to this favorite.



3. I'm not a big cook, but this is one cookbook that I have added to my library. Edna Staebler, now 97 years of age, was a native of the Waterloo region of Ontario, which is really the heart of Canada's German community, and is where many Mennonites and Amish settled. Although she worked as a journalist for some time, she eventually put together this cookbook based on recipies that she had gathered primarily from fiends and family. Many of the recipies are Mennonite or influenced by Mennonite and German cooking. This book also consists of a number of anecdotes, so not only is it a great cookbook, but an entertaining read as well.



4. Written by award-winning journalist Edna Staebler, Food that Really Schmecks: Mennonite Country Cooking is the commemorative edition of a classic cookbook originally published in 1968, now featuring a new foreword by award-winning author Wayson Choy and a new introduction by food writer Rose Murray. Interspersed with Staebler's true stories and anecdotes about cooking, Mennonites, her own family, and daily life in the Waterloo region, recipes in Food That Really Schmecks range from Crusty Chicken Potpie to Beet and Red Cabbage Salad to Porridge Bread, Maple Custard, Emanuel's Dandelion Wine, and much more. A mouth-watering medley of country home cooking recipes that pass the test of time with flying colors.



5. 'Food That Really Schnmecks' and 'More Food That Really Schmecks' are both wonderful books. Story books with recipes. I received Edna Staebler's 'Food that Really Schmecks' as a gift from my Grandmother. It's very special to me not only because of whom it's from but because my entire family uses these recipes - they're handed down from generation to generation. I'm from Kitchener - the same area as Edna - she and her recipes are very popular there and I am now 'spreading' them in the US.
   
   Edna's recipes are so easy to follow and prepare and the food really does "schmeck"! Wonderful books from a very friendly, wonderful woman. I wish she had time to publish more "schmeck's". These books are worth buying.

4 comments about The Pound Cake Book.

1. If you love pound cake and are looking for something different to do and eat this book is great! try the awesome marble pound cake recipe.



2. This tiny little book is filled with more info on this country's most beloved cake than any other cookbook I've found. It has clear and concise recipes with a cake for every taste. If you love poundcake you have to get this book!



3. I found this little pound cake cookbook by accident here on Amazon.com, and I am so happy I did. The author, Bibb Jordan explains what the meaning of pound cake is, it's origins, and how to make the "perfect" pound cake. I have a website for Home Baker's and I choose to include on my site a wonderful recipe from this book: Chocolate Truffle Pound Cake. This cake is amazing, like so many of the other ones in the book. I also make a recommendation on my site for home baker's to definitely purchase this book. I highly recommend it for the "Pound Cake Lover", and anyone who loves to bake wonderful pound cakes.

   I would like to make one suggestion to the author, and that is to include how many servings the cakes make. Otherwise, the book, like the pound cakes are perfect.




4. I own many baking books and am always serching for new recipes.I purchased this book after reading the so positive reviews everyone made about it.I am very happy with it, I guess there's no other book on pound cakes that can be so simple and concise as this one and having so good recipes! The writing is very clear,baking tips the right ones and the results excelent! Also the book format is very handy. The only minus is that there are no photos at all but I guess that's also why the price is so appealing!
