Recommended Books on the Amish
We frequently get asked what we consider to be some of the best books on the Amish way of life, so we finally wrote them down for everyone. In a couple of different areas, these are some of our favorites.
Amish Cookbooks
The Homestyle Amish Kitchen Cookbook: Plainly Delicious Recipes from the Simple Life
The Amish Cook: Recollections and Recipes from an Old Order Amish Family
Amish Quilts and Crafts
While this book is not comprised entirely of Amish quilts, we can’t recommend it enough. It is a fantastic journey; looking at over three hundred pictures of quilts from around the world. This book is an excellent reference for comparing Amish quilts with quilts from other countries.
