A Farmer's Daughter: Recipes from a Mennonite Kitchen by Dawn Stoltzfus is her cookbook full of Exactly What It Says In The Title, accompanied by enough personal anecdotes and reminisces about said farm and kitchen and her upbringing and current life among the offshoot religious denomination to constitute a mini-memoir scattered amidst the recipes, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Revell imprint.
This is actually pretty nifty and the author gives background stories on how she acquired some of the recipes as well as tips on how best to make them, and is also relatively low on "inspirational" mentions, if you're a secular cookbook w/anecdotes lover who's sensitive to such, although there are a few devotional suggestions on like, using food to enhance your faith and stuff.

Description
Welcome to the warm and inviting kitchen of Dawn Stoltzfus, a young Mennonite wife and mother who was raised on a dairy farm where simple, wholesome food was a key ingredient of the good life.
In A Farmer's Daughter, she opens up her recipe box, wipes away the crumbs and wrinkles from the well-loved recipes, and shares them with cooks and food-lovers everywhere. She offers us over two hundred delicious recipes that reflect the comfort foods she learned to cook from her mother, the same hearty and creative recipes she made and sold at The Farmer's Wife Market.
Along with the simple, wholesome recipes for starters, main dishes, sides, and desserts, readers will find charming stories from Dawn's Mennonite upbringing, tips and tricks for easy meal planning and preparation, and ideas for serving with flair. Anyone who loves to feed their loved ones hearty, wholesome meals will treasure this cookbook.
