The Seekers
Married for eight years with no children to help fill her days, Heidi Troyer cooks up the idea of teaching classes in the art of Amish cuisine in her home in Holmes County, Ohio. But it is a recipe for drama when five very different men and women answer the advertisement.
Charlene Higgins is engaged, but to the despair of her fiancés family, she can't cook. Kendra Perkins, a teen estranged from her family, is facing an unwanted pregnancy alone. Loretta Donnelly, widowed with two children, would like to simplify her life. Ron Hensley, a Vietnam Vet, parks his RV on the Troyer farm. And Eli Miller, an Amish widower needs to learn how to cook for himself.
Class members share details of their disappointing lives, work to solve a mystery, and stir some romance into the pot. Suddenly, cooking classes at Heidi's house become life lessons... and their souls are healed one meal at a time.

The Blessing
Return to the Troyer farm where, despite stressful changes occurring in their lives, Lyle and Heidi once again open up their Ohio home to those seeking to learn about Amish cooking.
This time six unique adults sign up. Nicole Smith—a teenager helping her divorced dad cook for the family. Lisa Brooks—a caterer needing new recipes. Todd Collins—a food critic who is curious about the way Amish women cook. Bill Mason—a member of a hunting club who always gets stuck cooking for his buddies. Allie Garrett—a police officer's wife who is given the class as an unwanted gift. Lance Freemont—a mailman who smells the good food when he delivers a package to the door.
More than recipes are exchanged though, as friendships form, a romance blossoms, and hearts receive healing nourishment—including Heidi's own hurting heart.
