Customer Reviews

Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking

Very pleased with the prompness in receiving this book.Would recommend to any one.This was purchased for a Christmas present and much appreciated by the recipient.

Fun read, great recipes

This is fun cookbook to simply read. It has some very interesting information about old-time cooking, as well as wonderful recipes. It also has a miscellaneous section which has some fascinating recipes that are probably there more to be read than tried in modern times. Even if you never make a single recipe from this book (but you should!), it's a good read. I've enjoyed everything I've made from it so far.

Wonderful, nostalgic cookbook

This is a wonderful cookbook. It made me very nostolgic for my grandmother's upstate NY kitchen. I agree with the earlier reviewer that the recipes are nowhere as specific as those in more modern cookbooks. However that's not a detraction to me: they look just like the ones on my grandmother's recipe cards! There are indeed real gems in this collection and overall it's a good read.

Good Cooking!

Our house burned down in June of this year, taking all my cookbooks with it. This was the first one I replaced and am ordering two more to give as Christmas presents. It is excellent!
