I'm Dawn Stoltzfus. Welcome to my kitchen! I was raised on a Mennonite farm where simple, wholesome food was a key ingredient of the good life. Now I'm opening up my recipe box, wiping away the crumbs and wrinkles from the well-loved recipe cards, and sharing them with you. From Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls and Strawberry Shortcake to Old-Fashioned Beef Stew and Chicken and Herb Dumplings, all the best comfort foods I learned to cook from my mother are here, along with some dishes that may surprise you!
In addition to the simple, wholesome recipes for starters, main dishes, sides, and desserts, I share favorite stories from my Mennonite upbringing, tips and tricks for easy meal planning and preparation, and ideas for serving with flair.
If you enjoy feeding your family hearty, wholesome meals made with fresh ingredients and lots of love, please join me in the kitchen!

A mixed compilation of some Mennonite recipes and modern day recipes...
By K. Webster
I really think that I would like Dawn Stoltzfus if I met her. She is a down-to-earth person who seems to enjoy cooking and spending time with her family. Her upbringing on a farm in Ohio with fresh ingredients makes me jealous. I grew up in Los Angeles with 6 million people and lots of concrete. I didn't see my first tomato plant until I was 29 years old. I tended my first garden when I moved to TX that same year. It was a joy to have fresh produce and see the fruit of my labor. I imagine that is what Dawn's upbringing was like most of the time. She must have really enjoyed the fresh milk and clean air of living on a farm. Ahh....I can just imagine it.
When I first received this cookbook I took the time to read through many of the recipes. While doing this I came across all of Dawn's notes to the reader. I really enjoyed reading her little vignettes about her family and about her faith. Again, I think that I would really enjoy getting to know Dawn. I actually think that I enjoyed reading her "food for thought" section more than I enjoyed reading the cookbook.
The cookbook is organized into sections like most cookbooks (Appetizers, Main entrees, breakfast and breads, etc). It contains easy-to-read recipes. Many of the recipes contain fresh ingredients and seem commonplace for life on a farm (Amish Fried Dressing, Brown Butter Green Beans, Farmer's BLT, Amish Peanut Butter, Honey Corn Bread). There are several recipes, however, that seem out-of-place for a cookbook titled, "A Farmer's Daughter: Recipes from a Mennonite Kitchen." There are several modern-day recipes that she must have picked up after leaving the farm. These recipes seem oddly placed in this cookbook (i.e. Slow cooker Thai chicken, Moroccan Chicken Kebabs, Chicken Curry, Black beans and rice, Thai Turkey Roll-ups). The author has traveled to France and she also includes some of these recipes in her book. It feels as though about 1/3 of the book is made up of recipes from her life on the farm and the other recipes are things that she just enjoys cooking. This would be ok except for the fact that the cookbook is touted as a Mennonite kitchen cookbook.
I cooked three of the recipes from the cookbook (Angel Biscuits, Buttermilk Ranch Dressing, Slow Cooker Thai Chicken). Here is my review of each of them:
ANGEL BISCUITS - definitely my favorite recipe out of the three that I cooked. These were simple to make and tasted delicious. A fast recipe that uses yeast but has no rising time. I loved the use of yeast without the wait. Very good. (I've included a picture of the biscuits in the photo section of this listing).
BUTTERMILK RANCH DRESSING - My least favorite recipe. The recipe called for paprika which made for an odd taste in the dressing. I have made many different versions of homemade ranch dressing and this one just didn't taste good to me. The addition of garlic salt instead of fresh garlic seemed odd to me. I think the author was trying to make things easy on the cook by allowing either dried or fresh herbs but dried herbs taste awful in dressings.
SLOW COOKER THAI CHICKEN - I have made curried chicken many times and was excited to try a slow cooker version of a dish that I really love. I was disappointed though in both the addition of peanut butter to this recipe (odd for a Thai curry dish) and the lack of "real flavor" to this dish. It probably needed more salt and more fresh spices. I also added more vegetables to the recipe since this recipe only called for red bell pepper, onions and frozen peas. I added yellow bell pepper and broccoli to beef it up but it still fell flat. I really wanted to love this recipe but it needs more depth. It closely resembles a panang curry (minus the peanut butter which is more "African" when added to a dish like this) but doesn't have the intense flavors found in that dish.
The index at the back of the book does not break down the recipes by ingredient but instead just alphabetically lists the recipe name (which makes the index useless in my opinion since you can't just look up an ingredient that you have on hand and then find a recipe to make).
I give this cookbook a 2.5 out of 5. The Mennonite Farm recipes look good, however, they do not make up the bulk of this cookbook. This is definitely a compilation of recipes that the author enjoys with some Mennonite recipes dispersed throughout. Still, I really like the author and loved her writing-style and her stories.

Mixed bag of recipes from scratch
By Anne from Baltimore
I think it's so interesting that there is this fascination with Amish and Mennonite cooking. I had a thought about why this might be just now. I think they are seen as simpler, back to the basics, from scratch cooks--who embody that idea of "wholesome goodness" in their cooking. I think it is because we romanticize the way of life of the Amish and Mennonites.
That being said, I have been told by many who make treks up to nearby Lancaster, Pennsylvania, that the Amish and Mennonites are good cooks. Such comments pique my curiosity. I've had Amish cookbooks before and they have never wowed me. But, I can't resist trying a new cookbook. Hence, my mom and I found ourselves trying out recipes from this cookbook, A Farmer's Daughter: Recipes from a Mennonite Kitchen by Dawn Stoltzfus. My rule of thumb is that I must try at least three different recipes from a cookbook before reviewing it. In this case, we tried the Baked Peach French Toast, the Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese (crockpot option), and the Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars.
Here's my take:
1) Cookbook mechanics: The recipes are easy to read and well written. Ingredients are easy to identify, common, and labeled well. It's black and white without any pictures, but the ease of reading the recipes partially makes up for that.
2) The food itself: I admit it. I'm picky. I have tried a lot of recipes over the years. Of the three recipes, they were all just okay. The peach french toast was pretty good for oven baked french toast, but it really wasn't anything special. The "creamy" mac and cheese was not "creamy" at all when make according to the author's crockpot directions. Finally, the bars were well received by the folks who ate them, but I found fault with them. The peanut butter was very difficult to spread on the bottom layer and the chocolate chips just wouldn't stick at all to the top! When I cook recipes from a cookbook I'm reviewing, I want to feel like I'd definitely want to make them again. I just didn't feel that way with any of these recipes. 2 of the 3 recipes I tried were fine, really. Competent. Just nothing out of the ordinary or especially yummy.
Verdict: If you want from scratch cooking, I'd recommend Pie by Ken Haedrichs for baking, America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook, and Simply in Season from the Mennonite Committee. All three cookbooks are filled really yummy from scratch recipes. I am coming to realize that I am very picky when it comes to cookbooks. Reviewing so many over the past four years has made me much more selective about what I recommend and what I consider fine, good, and great cooking. Sadly, I'd pass on this cookbook. It's just one I'd rarely pick up.
Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this book for review from Revell Publishing.

good food, good cook book
By adayriddle
Mmmm......mmmmm good recipes. Real and easy (for the most part), with ingredients that most of us keep in our cabinets any way. I loved this cookbook and could find only one thing that I would do different - I like to see pictures of food. However, I know that to include pictures in a cookbook brings up the cost. At the current rate this cook book is affordable and well worth the investment. It would be a wonderful Christmas gift for the hurried family cook in your family. These recipes are down-home yummy recipes that most families will really enjoy.
I liked the fact that the ingredients were things that I had on hand and the recipes were things that "real" families eat. I am a mother of 5 children and though I would love elaborate recipes with foreign ingredients my children would not touch it. Nor do I have all the time in the world to spend cooking up recipes. SO this is practical and yummy. My family liked every recipe I tried on them and I am still in the process of trying more.
Thanks to Revell for this review copy!
