WANDA BRUNSTETTER: Ah, this Amish fiction author....I've met her once, we were both in the buffet line together, quite by chance, at the Farmstead Restaurant in Berlin, Ohio. She's a good writer and smart marketer, it makes sense for her to extend her brand into cookbooks...she now has several, her latest is Wanda Brunstetter's Amish Friends Farmhouse Favorites. The book is described this way:
New, from New York Times bestselling author of Amish fiction, Wanda E. Brunstetter, is a must-have cookbook for anyone looking for simple ideas for hearty meals. Amish cooks, who know how to please their hard-working family members, contributed over 200 recipes, along with tips and stories of farm life.

I look at your Amish posts every day, but I'm disappointed when i see an interesting food item shown and the recipe isn't listed so I can try it. Case in point, the raisin pie filling I just saw.
