About the Author

Sharing recipes and stories of hospitality, food, and faith, Schellenberg and the nine other Mennonite Girls Can Cook bloggers are the authors of two bestselling cookbooks and the subject of a play in theaters in the United States.

Reviews - Janice Dick

Over the years my husband and I have present our seminars to Mennonite women. During these visits, we have fallen in love with their food and recipes. In this new book, you will find nourishment for body as well as the soul. Who doesn’t need a daily walk with God and a few new ideas for the kitchen?”
