The gorgeous photography and thoughtful page design make it a joy to flip through, and the recipes are cleverly crafted with ease and accessibility in mind. I love that the ingredients are straightforward and uncomplicated - it's all about letting the flavors shine! If you're looking for a cookbook that will inspire you to limit processed meals, this is the one!

Wanda E, Brunstetter's Amish Friends Farm-to-Table Cookbook is filled with wonderful recipes ranging from cheeses to puddings, to other desserts as well as meats, vegetables, etc. In the sample that I read there was even a canning recipe. Filled with colorful photos, the cookbook was well organized.
Releases May 1st. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

What a wonderful cookbook, although just a sample of it. I love the collections of recipes and these seem like they truly are tried and true recipes.

I am a huge cookbook fan and have several books so was excited to get a sample of this as I always enjoy cookbooks about Amish recipes. The photography is beautiful in this book. I wish there was more pictures of the recipes. All the recipes sounded amazing and would love to try making them myself. I just found that some of the instructions for the recipes were a little lacking. I wish there was more explanation for some of the methods of cooking as a lot of the recipes are things I have never made myself. I consider myself to be a good cook and can follow most any recipe but the way some were written I don't know if I would be able to successfully execute the recipe. I was especially interested in some cheese making and butter making. I think with more research I would be able to make the recipes.

You can make homemade yogurt, ice cream, sour cream and smoothies with these recipes!
Most of the yogurt, ice cream and sour cream recipes use whole milk and sugar as a base, they are easy to mix and they are fresh with no preservatives!
If you enjoy apples, there are recipes for apple butter, apple cider, no sugar apple pie and even glazed apple cookies!
Enjoy making a strawberry rhubarb pie, raspberry frozen cream pops, grape juice, peach jam and a sugar free watermelon Breeze drink!

Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Farm-to-Table Cookbook is sectioned into different groups like fruit and dairy. The recipes are straightforward and easy to follow. The recipes differ greatly in the skill needed to complete them from making your own yoghurt to a grape salad.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great sample of a cookbook I now want to read more of. The recipes are tasty and easy, the ingredients are easy to find and/or have in the pantry and what photos there were looked good.
I would like to try more of the recipes of this cookbook when the book is published. YUM!
Thank you NetGalley and Barbour Publishing | Barbour Books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you to NetGalley, Barbour Publishing, and Barbour Books for the opportunity to read an advanced sample of this cookbook for an honest review.
I received a digital sample of “Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Farm-to-Table Cookbook” that will be published in May and feature 280 recipes. My sample just included recipes from the “Dairy” and “Fruit” sections of the cookbook (most of them were desserts), but I really loved the pictures and how they flowed together to show the story of farm-to-table meals.
The bright, crisp pictures that were featured weren’t fussy from a food-styling point of view and looked like the presentation I would expect if I was joining friends for a meal: simple, clean, and presented with love.
This being an Amish cookbook, I really enjoyed all of the made-from-scratch recipes like basic yogurt, cottage cheese, homemade butter, and apple dumplings. The ingredient lists were short, and the instructions were easy to follow – both of which were big wins for me!
My main complaint was the lack of photos for every recipe. Maybe more photos will be added to the full cookbook by the time it is published, but several recipes were put together on pages without pictures. Also, I was concerned to not find the serving sizes in my sample. If I’m going to take the time to make something, I want to know how many servings the recipe has just in case I need to adjust. Again, I’m hoping this is remedied before publication.
Overall, the sample I received intrigued me to want to see more of this cookbook once it’s published. Anyone wanting to learn how to make farm-to-table meals and desserts will enjoy this cookbook.

I love the straightforward, simple, budget friendly recipes, that anybody can follow. I can’t wait to snag a full copy once this is released. The photos are gorgeous, and I love the Bible verses scattered throughout.
Aside from being a great recipe book, this is also a nice addition to Wanda’s other books. Now when they sit down to dinner, you can refer back to this book and see exactly what they are eating.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

I loved the photos of the recipes in the book. I felt like I would make several of the items in the cookbook soon and I enjoyed the narrative behind the recipe selection.

Once again, Wanda Brunstetter doesn’t disappoint!
If you are looking to cook and eat more naturally, this book is for you. It has great pictures and the recipes are easy to follow. Mrs. Brunstetter also puts great anecdotals throughout the book.

The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Amish Friends Farm-to-Table Cookbook is a beautiful collection of fresh recipes that will delight your whole family! Wanda E. Brunstetter sets apart different sections of the book for different foods including dairy and fruit. The recipes are short and sweet - you don't need a lot of extra ingredients and there are not hours of steps to complete. Want to make homemade cottage cheese? You only need milk, vinegar, salt, and cream!
This cookbook feels much more accessible in terms of making realistic recipes than other farm-to-table books I've read. There are gorgeous pictures throughout, as well as pertinent bible verses and Amish saying that make the book both aesthetically pleasing and cozy! I look forward to seeing a full copy of this cookbook and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make fresh and healthy recipes where they can feel good about what they're eating.
