When preparing Amish dishes you do not need to have big belly, instead you should have an opened heart and open mind when it comes to calories. Amish food is not heavy and it will be particularly hearty during cold and harsh winters, when our body needs something nutritious and nourishing. This is the perfect time for Amish cuisine, especially their stews and hearty soups. Besides this, many other dishes from the Amish can be used and prepared for any occasion and any time of the year, like their desserts or breads for the festive season. Amish desserts are rich in flavor and will satisfy everyone. Their breads will look perfect on any table and will taste amazing. Amish food is not conservative and the homemade meals are produced from ingredients from their farms. Their traditional recipes have been handed down from mother to daughter through the ages. Amish cooking is truly an art, which required much intuitive knowledge, since Amish recipes contained measurements such as 'flour to stiffen,' 'butter the size of a walnut,' and 'large as an apple.' Many of these Amish recipes have been transformed in more exact and standardized form, providing us with understandable recipes in which we can all enjoy.
