The Amish people have maintained their traditional lifestyle in America for more than 200 years by controlling information-related activity. This paper clarifies the Amish food recipes on the “Homemaker's Page” published in the monthly Amish magazine,
Family Life. Many more recipes for confectionary appeared than for main dishes containing vegetables, meat and fish. Most of these recipes were for traditional dishes dating back to the 19th century which are characterized by the use of home-produced foodstuffs such as onions and eggs. All recipes in the magazine were contributed by the readers. The
Family Life magazine therefore provides the Amish with a route for communication through the diet, and raises their consciousness to unite their community, strengthen their identity and maintain their traditional lifestyle.
