I grew up in Amish country and have an admiration for the Amish
people and their Amish culture. I've enjoyed many Amish home cooked
meals and I'm sure you will enjoy cooking and eating from our Amish
recipes on this website.
Many of these Amish recipes have been passed down from several
generations of Amish women, and many of these Amish recipes are from
Amish cookbooks written by an Amish lady in Lagrange Indiana, Mrs.
Clayton (Louise) Lambright. Her husband, Clayton has a furniture
shop on their farm. Clayton, along with the other Amish craftsmen
build some of the high quality solid wood furniture known to come
out of Amish shops.
Please remember, the Amish people often add a pinch here or a pinch
there and cook from memory and habit, making it hard to put some of
these Amish recipes in writing.
