Book Description
Lizzie Glick moves from "running around" to the adventures and anxieties of adulthood in the three-book series, Lizzie Searches for Love. But one characteristic remains ever-present in all the books: Lizzie's love for food! Now you can make Lizzie's homemade oatmeal bread with strawberry jam and her tantalizing creamsticks. Lizzie's Cookbook is a collection of over 175 easy-to-follow recipes for the food that Lizzie cannot resist. The recipes were selected by author Linda Byler's daughter, Laura Ann Lapp, who spent hours with her grandmother poring over her well-worn cookbooks for the best of Amish cooking. From Chicken Stew with Dumplings to Veggie Soup and Homemade Pizza, from Pumpkin Whoopie Pies to Garden Mint Tea, this collection of recipes is sure to bring you as much pleasure as it does Lizzie. This recipe-packed book joins the three books in the Lizzie Searches for Love series and cites the passages in their pages where Lizzie picked up her fork and dug in with finger-licking vitality. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking. We’ve been successful with books on gluten-free cooking, vegetarian and vegan cooking, paleo, raw foods, and more. Our list includes French cooking, Swedish cooking, Austrian and German cooking, Cajun cooking, as well as books on jerky, canning and preserving, peanut butter, meatballs, oil and vinegar, bone broth, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

As American as Shoofly Pie
Author: William Woys Weaver
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812207718
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
When visitors travel to Pennsylvania Dutch Country, they are encouraged to consume the local culture by way of "regional specialties" such as cream-filled whoopie pies and deep-fried fritters of every variety. Yet many of the dishes and confections visitors have come to expect from the region did not emerge from Pennsylvania Dutch culture but from expectations fabricated by local-color novels or the tourist industry. At the same time, other less celebrated (and rather more delicious) dishes, such as sauerkraut and stuffed pork stomach, have been enjoyed in Pennsylvania Dutch homes across various localities and economic strata for decades. Celebrated food historian and cookbook writer William Woys Weaver delves deeply into the history of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine to sort fact from fiction in the foodlore of this culture. Through interviews with contemporary Pennsylvania Dutch cooks and extensive research into cookbooks and archives, As American as Shoofly Pie offers a comprehensive and counterintuitive cultural history of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine, its roots and regional characteristics, its communities and class divisions, and, above all, its evolution into a uniquely American style of cookery. Weaver traces the origins of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine as far back as the first German settlements in America and follows them forward as New Dutch Cuisine continues to evolve and respond to contemporary food concerns. His detailed and affectionate chapters present a rich and diverse portrait of a living culinary practice—widely varied among different religious sects and localized communities, rich and poor, rural and urban—that complicates common notions of authenticity. Because there's no better way to understand food culture than to practice it, As American as Shoofly Pie's cultural history is accompanied by dozens of recipes, drawn from exacting research, kitchen-tested, and adapted to modern cooking conventions. From soup to Schnitz, these dishes lay the table with a multitude of regional tastes and stories. Hockt eich hie mit uns, un esst eich satt—Sit down with us and eat yourselves full!

Linda Byler is beloved for her skillful story telling and true-to-life descriptions of Amish food, faith, and culture. As an Amish woman herself, she can share details of Amish life that few can replicate. Here are three heartwarming novellas full of longing, struggle, confused feelings, and ultimately love. Little Amish Matchmaker: Simon can't stop thinking about the pretty Amish teacher at the local one-room school. But he's ignored the sparks between them because he's so shy. So Simon's little brother, Isaac, takes matters into his own hands. Amish novelist Byler brings her tender humor and skillful observation of family relationships to this holiday story. The Christmas Visitor: Ruth Miller’s Amish neighbors help her to make the difficult transition from wife to widow. As Christmas approaches, Ruth knows that she can't afford gifts for her children. But then banana boxes full of food, treats for the children, and even money begin to appear on her front porch. Who is leaving her these generous gifts? And who is that handsome stranger who always seems to show up when she most needs help? Mary’s Christmas Goodbye: Mary Stoltzfus is thirty years old, splashed with freckles, and unmarried. In her Amish world, that qualifies her to be called an old maid. When she travels to Montana to teach, she arrives at a desolate station and meets Arthur Bontrager, who introduces her to Beaver Creek School, dirt roads, and the fancy shed where she would live. She has no idea the physical challenges she will face during Montana’s cruel winter . . . nor the struggles her heart will encounter as she learns to open herself to the possibility of love.

Pages : 157
Book Description
Amish novelist Linda Byler spins a heartwarming tale set in the early 1800s at Christmastime. It's 1823 and life is not easy for fourteen-year-old Henry. With an alcoholic father, it's up to Henry to provide for his younger siblings. His mother, Caroline, tries her best, but she's physically and emotionally exhausted. There never seems to be enough food to go around, and their home beside the Juniata River in Pennsylvania is hardly up to the task of sheltering them through the cold winter months. When Henry's father leaves the family and then passes away, Caroline sinks even deeper into depression. While working at the local hotel, Henry discovers a young Indian woman who has been kidnapped by travelers. He attempts to rescue her, which changes the trajectory of his life. Then, unexpectedly, Caroline's parents arrive from Ireland. They've become anabaptists since Caroline left the home country, and now they're fleeing persecution. Caroline is relieved to see her parents, but when it comes to faith, they're at odds. Given the hardships that Caroline and her children have been through, how could they ever believe in a good God? As Christmas nears, lives and hearts begin to taste a dramatic change. Can Henry and his mother open their hearts to God? And might there be another chance at love for Caroline? Author Linda Byler is an active member of the Amish church and writes all her novels by hand with a pen and notebook. She offers a unique and fascinating look into Amish history and culture.
