When I drove from Minnesota to California I stopped in St. Louis at the arc there is a museum at the bottom. I found these wonderful cookbooks there. One of the few I bought was an Amish cooking cookbook. I have thumbed through many times. But never made anything. Lately I have heard of how great Amish food is so I started to research Amish cooking and dishes. I found many different cabbage and meat recipes. So I decided to make up my own one that fits my family's taste. I came up with one that was very similar to a Jewish dish that I make called Prakas. This meal was so simple but yet so amazing. It's a very hearty meal. My husband had 3 helpings. It's easy to make it vegetarian as well. I'm going to try some recipes in my book.
I'm glad I was looking the Amish way.
