My husband and I
recently made a trip to Sugarcreek, Ohio, to visit the setting for my latest
series of cozy mysteries from Guideposts. One of things I loved about the
experience was sampling the authentic Amish cooking. I even found several Amish
cookbooks to add to my treasure trove of books. Unfortunately, if you’ve ever
used one of these cookbooks, you know that many of the recipes can be very
vague—a “pinch” of this, a “smidge” of that. LOL! Apparently, the authors of
these recipes assume you know what temperature to bake a pie or exactly how
much of each ingredient to add. I assume it’s because many of these dishes have
been passed down for generations, and the cooks in the family know exactly how
something should taste.
