Seasons of Plenty: Amana Communal Cooking

A project of the Amana Arts Guild, Seasons of Plenty documents the history of a community ruled by faith and the seasons and presents the rich cultural and culinary heritage of the Colonies. This cookbook is more than a collection of recipes. Journal entries, poems, ledgers, and short colorful anecdotes by residents add to the charm of this lovely celebration of the way of life and food in the Amanas. Communal gardening, village orchards and apiaries, Amana crafts, ice making, home remedies, and communal brewing and winemaking are explored.
