1. I have had the priviledge of eating at the author's local mennonite restaurant. The next best thing is having their recipes. An absolute gem for the kitchen!

5 comments about Favorite Recipes from Quilters: More Than 900 Delectable Dishes.

1. The recipe for Belgium waffles is particularly good. We already had this book, but our new puppy chewed it up (guess she liked the recipes too). This new book with the spiral binding is a big improvement since the book will lay flat and stay open on the page.



2. This book is wonderful! It has been personalized with stories from quilters everywhere. The recipes are fun and refreshing. I would highly recommend this book, to quiters and non-quilters alike!



3. Already have the Christmas Quilters Cookbook and love it. Thought this would be a good addition. Lots of great everyday and company recipes so it will be used often.



4. The most used cookbook in my house---my daughter recently moved out and said that is the one cookbook that she would have liked to have---got it used for Christmas at Amazon and she is thrilled.



5. A special friend gave me this cookbook about 10 years ago. It was my favorite, despite the fact that 1/2 of it was ruined by a coffee maker spill. I continued to use it til it fell apart into 3 parts. I decided it was time to get another one. Now I have one that's good as new and I look forward to destroying it from use once again!

1. This is the best book of Mennonite cookery that I have ever seen or used. The recipes are simple and delicious. It needs to be published again. I would love to give copies to my children, brothers, and sister.

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.

1. This is a good book but I gave it 3 stars for being so tiny and not including much at all. I don't think I paid that much for it though so I guess that's why.
