(Photo by Tim Hornyak) TIM HORNYAK After walking for hours on a sweltering summer day around the Japanese coastal city of Kamakura, a former samurai stronghold south of Tokyo, I finally found my destination: Amish Cooking. There it was, a humble, homely neighborhood establishment that might be perfect for the Lonely Planet guidebook, for which I was then a travel writer. I did not know what Amish cooking consisted of, but I was hungry enough to eat a horse, and maybe a buggy to boot -- both items strongly associated with the conservative Amish religious communities of the U.S. and Canada.
