    THE AMISH COOK

    BY KEVIN WILLIAMS

    The Amish Cook column is celebrating is 26th year this month and it was three years ago this week that Gloria Yoder picked up the pen.  Since then we’ve seen her family grow and learned a lot about the New Order Amish and Amish life in general.  I want thank readers for welcoming her into your home each week.

    Summer in Flat Rock, Illinois where the Amish Cook calls home!

    As the editor and creator of The Amish Cook column I’m more than amazed that it is still going and it is because of you.  If anyone would have told me when I was 18-years-old in 1991 that the column would still be chugging along in 2017, I would have thought they were nuts.

    But here we are.

    Gloria has this mid-summer week off, but her column will return next week and I think there will be a lot of fun, exciting happenings in Flat Rock over the weeks ahead that she'll be sharing.

    For this week, we'll celebrate Gloria by rerunning her first-ever recipe posted back in July 2014, enjoy her peanut butter cream pie!
