Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking
Each recipe starts with a title, list of ingredients are included and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat, low sugar and fresh vs. canned items.
Directions are given. There are NO pics and NO nutritional information.
What I love about this book is there are recipes included that are very similar to my mother in law, a German who was raised near PA Dutch.
Love how she cooked her potato salad sauce. Such yummy and for the most part she made them healthier with the ingredients she used.
A KEEPER! ( )

This book is full of fairly simple recipes that sound absolutely delicious. Included is a traditional recipe for Sauerbraten, which I intend to try in the future. There's also a nice introduction to the origins of the culture. I wouldn't recommend this for a beginner cook due to some of the instructions being vague as far as measurements. ( )

So this isn't a particularly large collection. 45 or so pages of recipes which are not as old as one might suppose. I say this because ingredients are measured and not as my grandmother used to say: 'First you get a handful of flour'. You see, measurements were made popular by Fannie Farmer at the beginning of the last century. So these recipes are probably considerably older. (Not that measurements are a bad thing. I'm all for them.)

KINDLE NOTES: The Kindle version of this book is virtually unusable. Whoever ran the OCR machine did a poor job and all the quotes come over as ???'s. And worse, all the numbers come out the same. So instead of getting something like you need 1/3 cup sugar, it comes out that you need ??? cup.

OTHER SOURCES: I have checked for other FREE online sources and could find only one. Venerable Gutenberg has this book in text form. You can find it at: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/26558/26558-0.txt

There are numerable print versions if you have cash on hand.

Enjoy.
