From the Inside Flap

I own a lot of cookbooks, but the only ones I curl up to spend a few hours enjoying are my Gooseberry Patch books. I have 10 now and love them all. The first 3 books I bought were for Christmas gifts for friends. I thought I would take a peek before I wrapped them. Well...my friends got other gifts instead. I couldn't part with those books!

Your website is the most consumer-friendly, happy and enjoyable site I've had the pleasure of visiting. You actually encourage visitors to "sneak a peek" at each & every cookbook. I feel confident that I could order any one of your cookbooks and know what I was buying...I'll never be disappointed when it arrives!

I've had the Gooseberry "Mom's Favorite Recipes" for a few years now and added to my collection recently with "Comfort Foods." I love every recipe I've tried in both cookbooks and have gotten rave reviews from my parents and my mother-in-law, and of course, my husband. These are recipes I will keep and use for years and hope to hand down to my children. Great recipes, easy to follow, easy ingredients - GREAT flavor!
