I am a Mennonite woman, married over 30 years to the same great guy. We have 5 children -- one married, four still at home. I have been using Mennonite Country Style Recipes Vol. I ever since it came out. I buy it to give as gifts, and I like to make sure that every girl in my Thursday morning Bible Study class has one. One day, when I had just given it to two of the gals in my class, I said, "I wish so much that I had had this book when I was first married. It tells how to can, freeze, and even how to butcher a chicken!" I noticed one of the gals looking at me with a very strange look and she said, "You know, I have NEVER wanted to know how to butcher a chicken!" Well, maybe not, but there are a whole lot of other useful things in this book for the beginng as well as serious cook. I truly use it all the time.

Every recipe I've tried in this book is great. It's the best cookbook I've ever owed.

This cookbook has everything you would want cook for down home good tasting meals. You won't be sorry for ordering this cookbook.
