Reviews for An Amish Kitchen
27 ratings9 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The three stories in this book are loosely connected, taking place in the same Amish community, but differing in their tone, as each tale is penned by a different author. Though all have likeable and believable characters, and the required more or less happy conclusion, readers will probably like one story more than the others. One story deals with finding love conveniently next door, another deals with the problems that occur when a father has a stroke, and the last with family relations and an illness. Interesting stories, just not wonderful.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Clipston story spoke to me the most - as it would any reader who has had a family member suffer a stroke, and the aftermath. The other stories were good - not saying they weren't - but this one stood out for me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fern and Abram not getting in the love. Abram is taking care of his siblings for a amount of time. He is always turning to her for something. The way they get together is quite different from any other way and I really enjoyed it.Each book or story in the book is different. They found their romance differently form each one. Each story tell a different story. I like this some for that means there are three different ways. Each one is a wonderful read and enjoyment. You can read it if you like and decide for yourself.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I’ve very much enjoyed these stories. I really like stories written with a lot of thought behind them.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Three novellas that are centered around the same community. The kitchen is certainly the heart of the Amish home. It's great to follow an Amish community from the eyes of different authors.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The stories were sweet.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was three short stories in one book. I love that it was three of my favorite Amish authors:
Amy Clipston, Kelly Long and Beth Wiseman.
Each story stood alone with a quick one liner at the very end. There was the Our Daily Bread that all three stories had in common.
The first story was about Fern who was learning from her grandma about home remedies The neighbor who was watching his siblings while his parents were gone had to come by often with the children and their predicaments
The second story about Hannah and a stranger who came to stay at her Bed and Breakfast. He quickly was hired by the brother to help out with repairs and such.
The third story had to do with mending relationships between mother and daughter. Definitely a little humor in this one with George.
For short stories I do not feel that I missed out on them being longer, they did a great job of making the stories complete with the bonus of recipes in the back. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The old saying that the kitchen is the heart of the home certainly proves to be true in this inspiring collection by three highly acclaimed authors of Amish fiction. Beth Wiseman, Amy Clipston and Kelly Long unite to provide readers with three uplifting tales of Amish life - all focusing on the importance of family and faith, as well as the power of love.As an undeniable fan of Amish fiction as well as each individual author, I couldn't wait to get this book! And I have to say that I was definitely not disappointed! I was immediately captivated by these endearing tales and filled with the same sense of calm satisfaction that I have come to know from reading numerous books by these wonderful authors. If you love to read Amish fiction as I do, I guarantee that you will love this charming collection too! And not only do you get three great stories by three talented writers, you also receive 45 Amish recipes to make and share as well. In my opinion it is the complete package! Grab yourself a copy today - you'll be glad you did!I received this book from NetGalley in return for my honest review.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Three wonderful Amish stories to draw you in:A Taste of Faith by Kelly LongA Spoonful of Love by Amy ClipstonA Recipe For Hope by Beth WisemanThe first by Kelly Long, is about a girl who is very talented with healing, but very little self esteem. She has been put down by others, and feels she is to ugly and fat to ever have a husband.The second by Amy Cliptson is about forgiveness. A sin is a sin, God forgives us. We just need to ask, but the hardest part is forgiving ourselves. This one is about a man who feels he let his fiancé down, when she was killed in a buggy accident. He comes to Paradise and comes to the Kings B&B. A sweet story of returning to God and finding forgiveness.The third is by Beth WisemanThe last is also a story of forgiveness. Eve and Ben move into her parents home while there home is being repaired, a tree fell on it during a storm. There are the five of them going to live with her parents...there is a love triangle, and some old child abuse.Will this family be able to get rid of old and new hurts, and have a good relationship?These are three really good stories, and a very fast afternoon read.Then there are the mouth watering recipes at the end...several going on my list!I received this book through the Booksneeze Blogger Program, and was not required to give a positive review.
