These are two Mennonite Cookbooks that I wanted to share. The top one is my very well-used copy of More-with-Less that I got for a wedding gift. I had an even more used one before that that I had taken with me to Europe when I was a young lady. This cookbook is awesome because it cooks without the extra sugar, and uses all natural ingredients. I can cook many things from scratch using it. It came in handy to make salad dressings and other things that I couldn't buy in Europe in the early 90's. Sometimes my dh brings it over to the base kitchen, and I can't find it...boy does he hear it!
This next one was sent to us from a man who visited with my husband while he was the program director at Camp MennoHaven in Tiskilwa, Illinois. He came across this cookbook and sent it to us out of the blue. It was published in the 1950's and has all sorts of traditional Mennonite foods in it. I used it last week, and will probably be using it much more. I also appreciate that it uses natural ingredients (as opposed to "a can of this" or other prepackaged foods.
I got your email after I had already chosen this one! But, we will put your other one in the next one, ok??
;)
I love old cookbooks. We still have a lot of items from our wedding... precious memories...
I need to get one of those; I like the "without the extra sugar, and uses all natural ingredients".
