Simply Delicious Amish Cooking: Recipes and stories from the Amish of Sarasota, Florida

by Sherry Gore

Overview

Unbeknownst to many folks outside the Amish Mennonite population in America, Pinecraft, Florida - a village tucked away in the heart of Sarasota - is the vacation paradise of the Plain People. Sherry Gore has put together Simply Delicious Amish Cooking which represents the people who make Pinecraft unique. 

Unlike any other Plain community in the world, this village is a virtual melting pot of Amish and Mennonites from around the world, intermingled with people like former editor-in-chief of Cooking & Such Magazine and author Sherry Gore’s family who live there year-round. 

Simply Delicious Amish Cooking features hundreds of easy-to-prepare recipes and 16 full-color photographs and black-and-white photographs throughout. 

In this cookbook, you’ll discover traditional favorites such as:

• Sweet Potato Sweet Mash,
• Mrs. Byler’s Glazed Donuts,
• Fried Alligator Nuggets,
• Grilled Lime Fish Fillets,
• Strawberry Mango Smoothies and more!

 

Interspersed with the recipes are true-life stories about births, engagements, weddings, deaths, funerals, celebrations, wildlife encounters and accidents told through years of Sherry’s Letters from Home column published in The Budget, the Amish newspaper.

Simply Delicious Amish Cooking offers readers a faith-based, family-focused perspective of the simple way of life of the Plain People. It is truly a breath of fresh air from Sarasota, Florida.
