Simple recipes rooted in a heritage of family, food, and faith
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 flavor while using common ingredients to offer simple twists on beloved favorites. If you’re looking for a cookbook that will stick around in your kitchen, this is the one. It’s a cookbook to pore over rather than pick through; to savor rather than sideline.
With practical recipes, engaging stories, and beautiful photography, The Homestead Cook is rooted deep in rich heritage. Author Jody Bahler incorporates favorite dishes from her family business, The Homestead, a home-style bakery, deli, and gift shop in Indiana. Many of the dishes have been enjoyed around her family’s dinner table for generations—and now are ready to be shared at yours.
