ReplyDeleteShared this on Facebook! I didn't grow up in a Mennonite background (I'm Irish) but married a man who did (and his parents have done a wonderful job by the way!).. I would love to add this book to my own recipe book collection, so that I can share the love of Mennonite foods (both eating and cooking) with my 4 daughters at home....... and not only at Oma's house..lol
ReplyDeleteThanks to you all.. I can't figure out how to post this with my name.. so I'll put it here.

ReplyDeleteI shared it with my wonderful daughter, Patricia Ensz Watson. We both love to cook. I taught everything I know. We are constantly looking for new recipes. She and my other daughter, Susan Ensz are still trying to carry on their heritage thru Mennonite recipes. New Year's cookies, Veranika, etc.
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog and have told a lot of my friends about it,I have also shared your previous book as a gift.-Sue
ReplyDeleteI shared your blog with friends at work. Today, I brought in "2 bite coconut Flour brownies adapted from your amazing Coconut flour brownie recipe. I added a bit1/2 teaspoons baking powder, a small amount of chocolate chips, some frozen cherries pureed for extra moisture and flavour (don't add cold stuff to the hot cocoa/coconut oil mixture) and dried snipped tart cherries for that extra punch. Into mini muffin tins, 350 F. 20 min or more depending on how much cherry puree added (still trying to figure out exact amount) Loved and appreciated by the Celiacs colleague who seldom gets to eat treats at work and enjoyed by those who were trying to figure out why she was eating these brownies! They didn't know they were gluten free.

Hi Your book looks amazing. It must feel great to have put that together and keep all your cooking traditions alive. It is important for the young ones that we keep our heritage on paper. I have tasted your amazing recipes mainly through Kathryn (Judy's Niece) I have to say the Easter Paska is one of my favourites. I do love anything with citrus.
ReplyDeleteWell enjoy your book launches. I have liked you on facebook but I will go back and share.
