Katie Stoltzfus: Amish Armchair Agri-Intellectual

My Amish neighbor Katie Stoltzfus is no shrinking violet. Katie is a cookbook author who is passionate about slow food and sustainable farming. And she wants you to know about it.

Katie is an armchair agriculturist. Her armchair actually is a wheelchair, though, because Katie has muscular dystrophy. But she doesn't let her wheelchair hold her back.

Katie lives on a small, 40-acre farm with her parents in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where she has lived all her 30-something years. Last year Katie self-published a cookbook to celebrate her personal journey from fast food to slow food. To share her journey from bad health to better health. To document her enthusiasm for whole foods and farmstead nutrition.

Last week I stumbled onto Katie's cookbook at a local farmers' market. Five minutes later I knew that her cutting-edge, self-taught, food-and-farming book is in a league of its own.

Katie's cookbook "Wholesome Home Cooking" is an Amish culinary manifesto of gourmet farm food. Katie's cookbook celebrates a cuisine that declares that any tomato from a family farm is a gourmet tomato. Farm cuisine which says that any farmer zuicchini is a gourmet zucchini, because you didn't but it at Walmart.

Katie is a genealogist and a foodie, both. She knows the names and dates of all her ancestors back to the 1700s. She tells me that she and I are related through my great-great-grandparents Hannah and Stephen Mast. Which makes us third cousins twice removed, or something.

Katie wishes we all could eat as well as her great-grandparents, only better.

Back before we became a Fast Food Nation. Back before omnivores had dilemmas. Back before processed food, genetically-modified food, and industrial-agriculture food. Back before our food was injected with hormones and washed in pesticides.

So her cookbook shows us how to cook and eat with a pre-industrial sensibility. Katie wants you to eat whole foods and real foods. She wants you to cook from scratch. She wants you to be a neo-Amish Alice Waters. Or a post-industrial Joel Salatin. She wishes you could farm with horses like Southern writer Wendell Berry.

Katie's cookbook is a lifestyle guide to good nutrition and good health.

Her writing is much influenced by the work of nutritionist Weston Price. Which means that whole foods are in. Processed foods are out. Which means that (grass-fed) butter, cream, and steaks are good, again. Finally. Which means that raw milk is an option, if you choose it, like sushi.

Katie wants you to eat as well as the manager of a Whole Foods Market. She wants you to cook with a stove instead of a microwave, like a counter-culture cook on an Amish farm.

Katie Stoltzfus wants your food bill to be low-priced, and your cooking to be high-style. She wants you to be really, really healthy. She wants you to be able to run around the block without breaking a sweat, even thought she can't actually do that herself. Her cookbook will show you how.
