I'm giving it away, just because I can and I'm tired of it lanquishing on my bookshelf. I noticed many of the girlfriends are doing drawings for different books, gift boxes just for the joy of making someone happy! So I want to get in on this too....kind of a celebration of being a farmgirl and finally getting back on board at Mary Janes!!
Here is the title:
Cooking from Quilt Country (hearty Recipes from Amish and Mennonite Kitchens) by Marcia Adams.
This is a gorgeous cookbook filled with wonderful recipes and photos. I bought it new in the early "90's, so it is not new, but it is in good condition, comlete with dust jacket and bits of flour in the pages. I've used it many times, so a little of my spirit is in this book. I just love cookbooks used by others....to me it is such a connection with another person who loves to cook and the pleasure it has brought to a family!
If you would like a chance at the book, just post your name here and I'll place your name in a wonderful handwoven basket made by my mother. On January 17th at 10:00 am I'll draw a name out and the cookbook will be in the mail when I get your address!!
Have fun and good luck! Lots of hugs to all my good friends, Aunt George

Aunt George, so great to see you back and how sweet of you to share! I've got that book, so don't put my name in. But, I just wanted to tell everyone how fabulous this book is! Whoever the lucky FarmGirl is who wins will enjoy this one for sure! (Ps, weren't you madly in love last we heard from you, Aunt George, or am I confusing you with someone else? If so...how's about a little update in the romance dept?)

Country Lawyer....Yes I am madly in love. With my wonderful husband of almost 12 years. He is the bestest of the best! Truly my soulmate! You must have me mixed up with another girlfriend, but that is just fine! My hubby is the best and I could shout it from every mountain top!
You are right this is a fabulous cookbook. Great recipes, gorgeous photos of quilts, Amish family life, wonderful aprons and dresses...it is a visual and sensory delight. I have enjoyed if for over a decade and now I hope someone else will delight in it too!

Don't worry Aunt Jenny and Rebekah and others who have this cookbook, I think I'll offer up a second one for those who post that they already have this one and have a drawing for a second cookbook. I have so many that I need to cull. I have collected cookbooks for over 25 years and need to start paring down my collection! I would like for my cookbook "babies" to go to good homes!!
....so anyone who already has the Amish Quilt Cooking book, please post if you are interested in a different cookbook.
So Rebecca and Jenny, your names will go in the second cookbook basket!
Abundant Blessings! Aunt George

Please add me to this drawing and thanks for offering it! I have heard from many that this is a great book and always regretted not getting it when she was on PBS with her two shows.

Welcome back Aunt George and please add my name to the drawing. I love "peeking" into the Amish lifestyle. I am lucky enough to live close to a number of Amish communities here in Indiana and so admire many of their lifestyle choices. Well, and the excellence of Amish cooking! Yum! |

How lovely of you to give away one of your treasured cookbooks! I, too, love cookbooks. My husband, who is off work with a broken leg, actually got out one of my old cookie and candy cookbooks (it's one of the Better Homes and Gardens series from the 70s) today, and sat on the couch reading recipes to me, and asking questions, too, while I worked in the kitchen. He has great plans to try out a couple of the recipes tomorrow - he just has to narrow it down to which ones!
Thanks for entering me in the drawing. I would really like an Amish cookbook to help round out my collection.

Auntie George, I've also been away far too long and am making an effort to correct that. My reward was seeing your generous offer! The Marcia Adams book is really beautiful (recalling my last browse through it at the store) and the recipes both unusual and tempting. Would you toss my name in the basket? Thank you! |
