From Booklist:
The author of several previous Wooden Spoon books again draws on her Midwest-Mennonite roots for a new collection that calls up heavenly aromas of freshly baked pies, breads, cakes, and cookies. Moore, who teaches baking classes on America Online, obviously knows the value of conciseness, and her instructions are so clearly and simply stated that even baking novices can easily follow along. With a few exceptions (such as vinegar pie), the recipes are neither hard to come by nor unusual--cooks simply don't have trouble finding good recipes for oatmeal cookies, peach cobbler, or Dutch apple pie. It's Moore's insight into Mennonite culture and customs that raises this book above the norm, giving the whole a winning, distinctive, and homey charm. Stephanie Zvirin
From Library Journal:
Here is another appealing collection of homey recipes from the author of The Wooden Spoon Cookie Book (LJ 6/15/94) and other Wooden Spoon cookbooks. These are Moore's family recipes, among them Chocolate Birthday Cake, Relief Sale Sugar Cookies, and Amish Date Pudding. There are breads, rolls, and biscuits in addition to sweet baked goods, and Moore's engaging reminiscences give the recipes a context. For most baking collections.
