Featured Cookbook

     When I heard that my friend Amy and her husband Sam had published a cookbook, I was at once interested in seeing one. Table for Two arrived in the mail and what a treasure it is. Sam and Amy Miller and their extended family share 438 of their best recipes in helpings that won’t leave a week of leftovers if there are only two at your house. Sam’s sister Rhoda also got involved and every recipe was tested and approved before being included in the cookbook. The selection is great and I also enjoyed reading the bits of history preceding each category. Sam’s home place is well-known locally as being the first Amish homestead (1809) in Holmes County, Ohio. He shares this story.

            Think of your mother with a Table for Two for Mother’s Day or that couple getting married this spring. The price is $13.00 plus $2.50 shipping. Order them from: Sam & Amy Miller, 9381 Rowe Rd. NW, Sugarcreek, OH 44681. Phone: 330-852-9261
