The Amish Cook at Home: Simple Pleasures of Food, Family, and Faith
The Amish Cook at Home
MEET LOVINA EICHER
Supper comes at the end of a long day. There's much work to do before everyone sits down together: Twenty quarts of beets need canning. A mountain of laundry awaits. A daughter has a skinned knee, a son has the sniffles. A fight over a toy needs settling. Thirteen-year-old Elizabeth needs help with her homework. A supper needs to be cooked. And bread baked. Buttons sewn. Tomatoes picked. Dishes washed. Some bills to pay. Prayers to recite. Weeds to pull. Another skinned knee to doctor. Welcome to the world of Lovina Eicher. And she's unfazed by the eight growing children building their lives around her. "I wouldn't want it any other way," Lovina once told me as I marveled at her calm composure despite a daily grind that might make the average suburban homemaker head for the exits. Not Lovina. It's a calm cultivated by generations of homemakers before her, an ingenuity, stoicism, and sense of purpose inherited from the Amish who came to the Americas from a persecuted life in Europe two centuries ago.
A round face, a ready smile, and the ability to "multitask" long before it became trendy in cubicles and cars across America define Lovina's life. It is this calm sense of simplicity, this living connection to a time when life wasn't so fast-paced, that has endeared Lovina to millions of readers of "The Amish Cook" column.
The column is not something Lovina had expected to be juggling along with her many other daily duties. Running a household of ten people can sometimes leave little time to spare as is. But Lovina stepped up to the task of writing the column under some very difficult circumstances, and in the process really grew into her role.
