Editorial Review:

One in a six-volume set of little cookbooks-each one a treasured collection of recipes from the best-selling cookbook, Favorite Recipes from Quilters. Each book in the series presents a particular category of food. The six books are: Breads, Soups, Salads, Main Dishes (Pasta, Vegetables, and Meats), Pies, and Desserts. Each book offers 24-36 recipes-all proven favorites from the original collection. Each volume also includes several stories from the lives and experiences of quilters. The charming design of these books makes them an irresistible impulse item. Their colorful dustjackets and readable spines make them equally eye-catching on a bookshelf or beside a cash register. Each volume contains warm and strikingly rich watercolors throughout its pages. Each painting was created exclusively for this series. These books have about them the special vibrancy that comes from cooking and quilting. All who own them will share in that!

Editorial Review:

"What is Shaker cooking?" asks Sister Frances. "Basically it is plain, wholesome food well prepared." The timeless recipes in this book can hardly be described with more honesty than that. Few call for more than a dozen ingredients, most of which can be found in the average kitchen. The short instructions are easy to follow, and the results show that interesting and tasty food need not be complicated. Indeed, like Shaker furniture and textiles, these recipes are simple but artful.

Sister Frances has collected and perfected these recipes during her thirty years in the kitchen of the Shaker Community at Sabbathday Lake, Maine. Many of them, such as oyster stew and "Shaker fish and egg," had been passed down over the years and were taught to her as a child. Others, such as Brother Ted's Swedish chicken or lemon grapenut pudding, are relatively new and incorporate modern ingredients.

In addition to a wide assortment of recipes, Shaker Your Plate contains several engaging recollections by Sister Frances of Shaker cooks who played an important role in her life. There are also delightful descriptions of the Community's dairy, orchards, and herb farm. There are suggestions for using Shaker culinary herbs and charming pen-and-ink drawings throughout.

The definition of "Old-Fashioned"... 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I have all of these adorable little 'Cook Books from Amish Kitchens', and have really enjoyed them. The are very small and simple... the complete opposite of a coffee-table/display-style cookbooks we see most often today. This is a thin pamphlet with matte paper and does not include interior photos of any recipes (excluding the cover). The text is in a handwritten-style font and clearly explained. The recipes are very homey with basic ingredients and techniques; nothing fancy. Simple, delicious recipes in a simple, small booklet. RECOMMENDED.

Simple yet Delicious 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a very petite book but I have tried several of the recipes and they are quite delicious! Only downside is that the book is small and that there are no pictures

More Food that Really Schmecks (and Food that Really Shmecks 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 10 people found this review helpful.

The recipes in More Food that Really Schmecks are interesting, easy, use ingredients that many of us have on hand and above all, yield food that everyone loves. This is one of my "desert island" cookbooks. Among the 400+ in my collection, this is one of the top five! (Likewise Food that Schmecks, the first in the series.) I also love the little stories about Edna's mother and friends. There is a strong influence from old order Mennonites (similar to the Amish in the US.)

More Mennonite cooking that really schmecks! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

It's great to see that this book has been reissued, as the original has been out of print and copies difficult to find. Like Food that Really Schmecks, More Food that Really Schmecks is a great cookbook filled with many Mennonite inspired recipies that Edna Staebler has gathered from her friends and family, and is complimented by numerous anecdotes about the Waterloo region (and more) of which she is a native. I am not a big cook, but I really enjoy this book, and am greatful that Edna Staebler has done so much to preserve some of Canada's German cooking heritage.

LOTS OF OLD FASHIONED GOODNESS ON THESE PAGES! 4 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I ordered several of these small pamplet-like cookbooks and was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful recipes inside. Many excellent cream and fruit pie recipes with that special taste you can't buy at the grocery store. Easy to read and no nonsense. Lots of goodness (and recipes) in a small book.
