Publisher's Note
This new collection of recipes from the standholders of Lancaster, Pennsylvania's beloved Central Market is as lush and full of bounty as the farmers' market itself. This collection mirrors the market -- its traditional foods, rooted deeply in Pennsylvania Dutch soil, and its burgeoning multi-cultural flavors. Selected by Book of the Month Club.
Industry Reviews
The authors of The Central Market Cookbook return with another collection of recipes representing the regional cuisine around Lancaster, Penn. widely known as Amish country. The contributions of those who own and staff the 70 stands reflects the local German heritage. There are recipes for Fladels?ppe, pancakes in soup and German cucumber salad. Many of the contributors' favorites seem neither original nor inspired, such as those for potato and chicken salads, chicken noodle soup and tuna noodle casserole. Of greater interest are several recipes for desserts, including Black-Bottom Banana Bars, Glazed Apple Cookies and such Amish specialties as Montgomery and Quakertown pies. A history of the market and descriptions of some of the region's specialties, such as scrapple, are highlighted. (Dec.)
