Wooden Spoon Wedding Sampler Cookbook

Amish weddings are intimate once-in-a-life time events. When it comes to wedding meals the Amish know how to put on a spread. For a traditional Amish wedding, though, it’s the place where the bride and groom and their four witnesses eat two meals-dinner and supper. These tables are carefully arranged and decorated by the bride.

In the Wooden Spoon Wedding Sampler, Miriam Miller an Amish bride from Holmes County Ohio, shares her entire wedding spread along with many personal memories of their wedding day. You’re invited to enjoy the recipes for her wedding chicken (page 40), dressing (page 37) and all the other fixings of a typical Amish wedding main course. Then for dessert you can pick between apple pie (page 80), peanut butter pie (page 81), date pudding (page 165), or jelly roll (page 101). Here’s your invitation to the food at an Amish wedding.

The Wooden Spoon Sampler includes a wide variety of recipes served in traditional Amish weddings.

About Cottage Craft Works Back-to-Basics General Store:

About Cottage Craft Works

When people think about Amish products they generally think of high quality handcrafted wooden furniture and crafts, or they think about the homemade noodles, baked goods, or Amish quilts. The fact of the matter is that the Amish have developed a whole self-sustaining manufacturing network made up of small cottage based workshops and factories where they manufacture and sell their wares and goods. The variety of goods they manufacture fits virtually every self-sustainable personal need imaginable.

For over 35 years Paul and Liz Stevens have bought and used Amish made products for their own country back-to basics lifestyle, not realizing someday those relationships and friendships they were building would develop into a business opportunity. The two of them spent many weekends and vacations over that time period exploring the Amish country back roads in Indiana and Ohio seeking out different ideas and products used in home food preservation, gardening and frugal living. They were intrigued with the simple life style and quality products the Amish produced. Year after year they developed new relationships and friends throughout the Amish communities. They began to see a real need to help the Amish market and sell their quality products to the outside world in order to help them secure self employment incomes to support their own families. They also saw the lack of trust and respect from commercialized corporate environments that didn’t understand or respect the Amish culture, values, and beliefs. With the encouragement of family and friends they began offering Amish made hunting and game calls online in 2006. As those grew in popularity they added more hunting and outdoor goods.

As the economy worsened many of the Amish who worked in Northern Indiana RV factories began facing layoffs, and the products they made part- time became more and more dependent for their own household incomes. The economy hit the Amish communities hard, as the tourism and visitors from the outside slowed greatly and the crafts and goods they sold in the small shops slowed as well. Even the Amish didn’t have the level of incomes to support their own fellow Amish shops. They simply needed more market exposure and began turning more to the outside world. Simultaneously the economy also developed into the fear and concern for the general public. This sparked a back-to-basic movement of people wanting to escape a debt and energy dependent world. People began looking for more off grid options, and self-survival knowledge that the Amish possessed in order to become less dependent on the economics and live a more self-sustainable debt free lifestyle. The mass loss of jobs to foreign soil over the past decade also created a bitter feeling toward imported products, and a boycott of those products. American made products suddenly became the protest cry for many Americans distraught over the loss of jobs, and corporate greed.

Connecting all the dots, in 2010 Cottage Craft Works General Store at http://www.cottagecraftworks.com was launched to help fulfill a need for those searching for back-to-basics goods to live a more wholesome self-sufficient lifestyle and to help support the many Amish friends they had made over the years.

Although 90% of the products are Amish made, the mission of Cottage Craft Works is to support American cottage based businesses and small companies. Most of the vendor shops consist of small family owned, or small business owned shops, employing one to thirty people. Occasionally you will find a foreign made product, which is noted as such, because our customers request it. All selections carried are based on quality workmanship, such as our German made Family Grain Mill.

In 2010 we received customer feedback from our loyal hardcore hunters who appreciated all the products we had expanded to, but liked it much better when we only featured hunting calls and hunting gear, thus a separate subsidiary was developed just for our hunting friends, CCW Hunting and Game Calls. CCW Hunting and Game Calls carries one of the largest stock of custom made Hunting and Game calls on the market. From a complete turkey box call to a box call kit, deer call, elk calls, predator calls, duck calls, goose calls and more you will find them at CCW.
