Description

AMANA!—is a name that has spelled "good food" for many years to persons who come to visit and dine in the seven villages that comprise the Amamna Society in east central Iowa. Now for the first time the recipes for typical Amana dishes have been compiled into this book by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Homestead Welfare Club. The book is bound with an authentic reproduction of one of the patterns of old Amana blue cotton prints. This material which was used for mostly all of the women's everyday dresses and aprons was bought by the bolt, dyed an indigo blue and run through a machine which bleached out the different unique patterns. The sketches inside the covers represent scenes from typical Amana community kitchens—the brick hearth on which all the cooking was done, the long, wooden sink which held huge tubs in which the stacks of dishes were washed and rinsed, and the sundry other large-size equipment needed to prepare the food carried home in the special basket called "Essenkorb".

  1. Seller is very responsive to questions and she answered them in a very timely manner. Good, discounted price on a 42 year old book which is in very good condition! Since seller lives in the area, I asked if I could pick up the book instead of paying shipping fee and she agreed to meet near her home. We corresponded and later met at a local restaurant, which was about 35 minutes from me and a few minutes for her. Finished the transaction inside the restaurant and we went on our way! Thank you!

  3. What a beautiful vintage book on the glory days of logging - B.C. to California. Really looking forward to reading this. It arrived promptly from across the Atlantic and it was very well packaged up for its long journey over to Scotland. Thank you!
