More-with-less Cookbook: 25th Anniversary Edition [B0143]
Longacre, Doris Janzen and Mennonite Central Committee
2011 spiral-bound hardcover printing. This book is part of the World Community Cookbook series that is published in cooperation with Mennonite Central Committee, a worldwide ministry of relief, development, and peace. Mennonites are widely recognized as good cooks. But Mennonites are also a people who care about the world's hungry. This new updated edition of Herald Press's all-time best-selling cookbook will continue helping thousands of families establish a climate of joy and concern for others at mealtime. The late author's introductory chapters have been edited and revised for today's cooks and the statistics and nutritional information have been updated to reflect current American and Canadian eating habits, health issues, and diet guidelines. But the message has changed little from the one that Doris Janzen Longacre promoted in 1976, when the first edition of this cookbook was released. In many ways she was ahead of her time in advocating for people to eat more whole grains and more vegetables and fruits, with less meat, saturated fat, and sugars.
From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Fantastic cookbook. I have been using this cookbook for 30 years. It has excellent recipes and I love the philosophy of the author."; "When I first moved out I tried to take my Mom's old, well-loved copy. Instead I got gifted my own in the form of this amazing edition! The recipes are simple, yet guaranteed to be delicious. Vegan/Gluten Free recipes are easily found with 'V' or 'Gf'. Some recipes now come with Options/Substitutions so you don't have to figure it out yourself. Would definitely suggest this as a gift for anyone who enjoys cooking or wants to get into cooking. Don't forget about students! This book is perfect for eating healthy on a budget!"
