Mennonite Girls Can Cook

Mennonite Girls Can Cook is a blog about recipes, hospitality, relationships, encouragement and helping the hungry—and now it’s a book, too!

Like the blog, Mennonite Girls Can Cook—the book—is about more than just recipes. It’s about hospitality, versus entertaining; about blessing, versus impressing. It’s about taking God’s Bounty and co-creating the goodness from God’s creation into something that can bless family and friends, and help sustain health and energy.

“No matter which way you look at it, wonderful things happen when people are given the opportunity to gather around the table—a chance to nurture and build relationships, fellowship and encourage one another and create a place of refuge for those who have had a stressful day.”—Charlotte Penner, Mennonite Girls Can Cook

Lovella Schellenberg enjoys farm life with her husband and family on the western coast of British Columbia. When she posted a family recipe for Paska, a Russian Mennonite Easter bread, on her blog in 2007, she didn't know it was the beginning of a cooking sensation that has come to be known as Mennonite Girls Can Cook. Sharing recipes and stories of hospitality, food, and faith, Schellenberg and the nine other Mennonite Girls Can Cook bloggers are the authors of two bestselling cookbooks and the subject of a play in theaters in the United States. They have appeared on numerous Canadian television segments, and donate all their author royalties to nourish children around the world.
