    THE AMISH COOK
    BY GLORIA YODER

    Editor's Note:  Gloria is taking a much deserved week off.  As a father to a 2 ½ and a 5-year-old, I can attest to how much effort (very rewarding wouldn't-trade-it-for-the-world effort) it takes to be a parent, so I can not imagine how her and her husband Daniel do it with 5 children all so close in age and to take in two foster children is an amazing display of kindness that we can all take a lesson from.  Meanwhile, it is hard to believe The Amish Cook column will celebrate it's 30th year in 2021.  Many of you have been with me for a long time, readers in places like Quincy, Kokomo, Cincinnati, Mansfield, Oelwein, Iowa and other locales ( I know I'm leaving some places out, just trying to think of the very longest ones) and I appreciate you so much sticking with the column!  If you have a chance visit Amish365.com, sign up for the daily e-newsletter for daily recipes, updates, Amish information, and my musings on fatherhood.   This week, I'm sharing some favorite recipes that Gloria has shared over the years, so if you missed them the first time, here they are again. - Kevin Williams, Editor

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
