Homestead Cook: Everyday Favorites to Celebrate Rich, Simple Living

Simple family recipes rooted in a heritage of family, food, and faith

In a world full of options, we hunger for simplicity. In a world full of change, we feel nostalgia for the memories of old. In a world of limited connections, we long for deeper relationships. In a world full of the digital, we want to touch and taste.

The Homestead Cook celebrates tradition, simplicity, and relationships through classic recipes from a Christian family farmstead. These recipes–from appetizers and beverages to main dishes and desserts–are rich in flavour and use common ingredients, offering simple twists on beloved favorites. Many of the dishes have been enjoyed around the author’s family dinner table for generations and are ready to be shared at yours. Author Jody L. Bahler also incorporates favorite dishes from her family business, The Homestead, a home-style bakery, deli, and gift shop in Indiana.
