What a pleasure to see my recipes and hints in your most delightful garden book, For Bees & Me. I do enjoy all the other Gooseberry originals (I have every one of them) on my special corner table so everyone can see them. So many compliments.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to start a tradition, January 13, 2000

By 

"daniem" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Celebrate Summer (Spiral-bound)

This is one of a series of Gooseberry Patch books that are filled with hard-to-find, practical and fun recipes appropriate to the season/holiday, and short, paragraph or so descriptions from around the country of traditions associated with that time of year. The book includes suggestions for everything from gifts to give, to decorating for parties and entertaining guests, to cooking, Though perfect for anyone, as a senior preparing to enter the "real world" for the first time, I think it's especially valuablefor anyone who believes that the little things can change a big world, and wants some cheap and practical ideas for how to start out.
