Such a good compilation of information

Appreciate this volume, as well as Vol 1, as this is my history too. The author has done an amazing job.

A trip back in time

My father was on the last boat that came from his part of Russia in 1926. He was 11 years old and came to Manitoba and later settled in Saskatchewan,and finaly in B.C. I have grown up appreciating the Mennonite history and cooking alot of the dishes represented in this book. I really enjoyed reading the history that goes along with my heritage. A keepsake i will treasure.

Sehr gut!

Mennonite isn't just a church denomination, its a culture. I grew up Mennonite Brethren, so I grew up with much of the WONDERFUL food mentioned in this book. If you've never been to an MB potluck, you've never truly eaten. However, the recipes aren't the only things that make this book such an incredible buy. The vignettes about the culture and traditions of the Mennonite faith are a great read. They help explain what makes us so unique. (Even if many of these traditions have faded over time.) Whenever someone asks "what's a Mennonite?", this is the first book I hand them.
