Faspa: Recipes, Stories, and Traditions. From the Mennonite Table

Faspa is a traditional meal that is served in a Mennonite home. It is served in the afternoon around 3 o'clock. The Faspa meal is a time during the week for a break from one's work.

Faspa is not only a book to be used for cooking, but it tells a story of a way of life and how as a small Mennonite girl, the author lived, ate, grew and communicated with the wealth of family, neighbours, church and school in her traditional community.

Faspa is full of many Mennonite recipes and traditions. Included in this book is some information on the Mennonite Canadian architecture, history, religion, culinary traditions, way of life, language, and literature.
