PA Dutch Cooking Recipes

I bought this PA Dutch Cooking Recipe book on eBay. I was actually looking for an old Amish cookbook, but they were all pretty pricey, so I thought I would try this one, and I'm glad I did. I love it because the recipes are so simple and easy.

It was copyrighted in 1978, and has cute illustrations by Howard Imhoff, throughout the book.

Here's page 1, and pages 2 and 3 have the history of Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking. Page 2. The page is faded on the right, that was done when they printed it unfortunately. Page 3 is called "The Standing Market," which is a story of what it was like to go grocery shopping in the Colonial Days.

Below are the rest of the booklet, in order of pages. The recipes are really simple, and I've already made a couple of them, like the Hamburger Dinner, which turned out great.
