Amish Cooking Class:The Celebration Book Review

I went through a big reserving binge which brought a lot of books to my shelf at the same time.  Fun thing is that I reserved a book that I read in December that came in at the same time as a bunch of other books.  I am not sure if I was so far down on the reserve list that I grabbed it off the shelf and read it and didn't take it off the list or if I reserved it again because I love the author so I literally took a piece of paper and wrote the due dates of everything which was the deadline for finishing them and I got them done weeks before they were done because I was so worried because you can't renew new releases.  I was excited to see another installment of this series out in on the new releases at the library so I reserved it quickly and got to read Amish Cooking Class - The Celebration by Wanda E. Brunstetter.



Lyle and Heidi Troyer have taken in a brother and sister, who were orphaned when their parents were killed in a car accident. Hoping to help the children adapt and make friends, Heidi decides to hold a series of cooking classes for kids. But kids are always accompanied by an adult—and that is where the trouble arises.

Miranda Cooper is living the life of a single mom to her two kids while separated from her husband, but Trent is trying to worm his way back into her heart.  Denise McGuire’s life as a wife, mom, and real estate broker is full and spilling over.  Darren Keller, single dad and firefighter, and Ellen Blackburn, single mom and nurse, find a few things in common.  Will hearts be healed over plates of Amish food?

This is the third book in The Amish Cooking Class series.
Book #1:  The Amish Cooking Class - The Seekers
Book #2:  The Amish Cooking Class - The Blessing

I enjoyed the first two books in the series so I was excited to get to the next book in the series to see what was going on with Lyle and Heidi Troyer.  They had taken in two foster children when they found out that they couldn't have any kids of their own and they were working towards adopting them.  The children were trying to fit into the new household and make friends so Heidi decided to hold another cooking class but make it for children.  She loves teaching people how to cook and there is always something interesting that comes out of the cooking classes and this was no exception.  There are single moms, single dads, separated parents and parents going through tough times all enrolling their kids who are going through problems and trying to heal.  Heidi offers the place to learn how to cook and often solves problems that she doesn't even know about. You have to pick up the book to get to know this group of adults and kids and see what problems they all overcome with a little cooking and a lot of listening.  I think that everyone's lives are better after the class then they are before.  I hope that you check out this book and the rest of the series and enjoy it as much as I have.
