A simple invitation to joy, generosity, and abundance
For half a century, More-with-Less has invited cooks to embrace simple, wholesome meals as an act of faith and compassion. With nearly one million copies in print, this beloved classic from Doris Janzen Longacre launched a movement connecting everyday choices with global concerns for peace, justice, and human flourishing.
The 50th anniversary edition renews that vision for today. Inside you'll find:
· Over 450 classic and contemporary recipes using basic ingredients
· Vegetarian and gluten-free labels for easy planning
· Tips for living simply in kitchens and beyond
· Uplifting stories of resilience, generosity, and joy
With restored features from earlier editions, dozens of black-and-white illustrations, and a return to an easy-to-use hardcover binding, this new edition offers vintage charm and enduring practicality.
More-with-Less is more than a cookbook. It is an invitation to live generously, steward resources wisely, and discover abundance through simplicity. Whether you're cooking for one or gathering a community, these pages offer nourishment for body and soul—and a way to make a difference, one meal at a time.
The bestselling World Community Cookbook series is published in partnership with Mennonite Central Committee, a worldwide ministry of Anabaptist churches that shares God's love and compassion for all in the name of Christ by responding to basic human needs and working for peace and justice.
