An Amish Kitchen is a book with three stories, written by Beth Wiseman, Amy Clipston and Kelly Long. All three stories are set in a small Amish community in Pennsylvania.
The first story, written by Kelly Long is “A Test of Faith”. It is about this young lady named Fern who is learning the healing arts of herbs from her Grandmother.
The second story, written by Amy Clipston is “A Spoonful of Love”. It is a story about a young lady, named Hannah, who is running the Bed and Breakfast that is owned by her parents.
The third story, written by Beth Wiseman is “A Recipe for Hope”. This is a story of a daughter named Eve, whose family has to stay with her parents. Eve and her mom have always had a strained relationship.
All three of these stories really are an enjoyable short read. They all center around the kitchen, which I feel is the heart of a home. It is where most women, young or old spend most of the time. All three authors do a great job bringing heartache to joy, through the stories. While the Amish are people who live simple and keep to themselves, it shows that they have issues just like everyone else. I also love how the stories show that they help one another through the hard times.
Since this book is centered around an Amish kitchen, the authors also include recipes that they have tried themselves. I can’t wait to try out some of the recipes that they have included.
Overall, I enjoyed all three of these books and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good short story to read. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
