This review is from: Country Friends Good Times: Come Along for a Joyride...Good Times, Good Eats, Good Friends! (Plastic Comb)

I recently ordered this book, and what can I say? It's another excellent book in the Gooseberry Patch collection. "Country Friends Good Times," explores and celebrates friendship and is packed with neat gift ideas and homey treats, sure to make a friend, family member or spouse feel loved!

There are fewer recipes in this book than in other books in the Gooseberry Patch collection, but the charming (and copyable) pages are filled with over 205 delightful and cheery craft ideas, recipes, and just plain kind thoughts which will delight everyone.

Don't miss this one, if you love the cute illustrations in the books by Vickie & JoAnn. You won't be disappointed. =-)

This book offers fabulous recipes and gift ideas. Suggestions include gift baskets for just about anyone and lots of special surprises to make someone's day. There is lots of humor (which will especially appeal to chocolate lovers!) and lots of inspiration. This book is excellent for women everywhere!

I found the format of this book much harder to read than other Gooseberry Patch cookbooks. There was a disappointing lack of recipes, but tips for friends and fun. I guess I just expected something much different. I wouldn't buy it again, I wouldn't give it as a gift, and I don't recommend it.
