I received this book in the mail this past week and just can't seem to put it down. It is chock full of excellent autumny/Halloween decorating ideas and crafts, as well as scrumptious recipes and beautiful pictures. Gooseberry Patch has really outdone themselves with this book! Be sure to check out Amazon's "search inside this book" feature as it really gives you some good insight to what's in this great book! You won't be disappointed with this book!

Gooseberry Patch Halloween is a gorgeous new book from the ladies at Gooseberry Patch and is published by Oxmoor House. It is very professionally designed and vivid, bright photos abound throughout. The recipes and ideas show Autumn's beautiful bounty of color and the rich flavours of Fall.

There are ideas on how to choose and decorate your pumpkins, with many different kinds of embellishments. Plus, there are tons of Autumn recipes, from the fun and creative, like mummy hot dogs, to updated classics, like cranberry waldorf salad. Gooseberry Patch Halloween also includes several ideas for themed parties, like a Film Festival and a Halloween Cookie Swap party (not just for Christmas!), plus several others. There are scrumptious recipes to go along with each party theme.

Ideas for masks and face painting are also included, along with fun, Halloween activities like a bean bag toss using decorated bean bags. There are some "quick tricks" at the end using pre-made ingredients to make fast treats and decorations, such as witches' hats and haunted houses.

Gooseberry Patch Halloween is filled with over 200 recipes and ideas to make Halloween time a special celebration for your friends and family, and is also just such a pleasure to look through! Highly recommended!

You really can't go wrong with Gooseberry patch books! Lots of things in this one I'll be trying!

I was not impressed with this book. In fact I was rather disappointed in it. It is mostly just a rehash of their recipes posted in other books with some pretty pictures thrown in. There were few crafts and a handful of costumes. This is not of the same quality as their Christmas books. If you collect Gooseberry Patch then you will want it but if you are looking for inspiration for Halloween beware, you may not find it.

Love this book-Full of tasty recipes, craft ideas,and much more-I will enjoy for years to come-Liked it so much that I ordered a second copy for my Mother!Terrific price and quick shipment as well-

Chock full of good ideas, recipes and pictures. I want to run to the kitchen and make every recipe.

I love everything Gooseberry Patch and this book is great too! The pictures are great and it is filled with fun recipes and Halloween party ideas! Great price for what you get too.

Great Halloween book to add to your collection - Gooseberry Patch does it again with another great book! Creative and fun ideas - you will be pleased!

I haven't had a chance to try out the recipes in the book because I found this book after Halloween, but I did do through it and found recipes and crafts that I really want to try on my very favorite holiday. All Gooseberry books are full of great ideas for good food that are easy to make. The craft ideas are an added plus.

I originally borrowed this book from a friend and it was so great I bought my own copy. I love the creativity. There are ideas for adults and kids. Recipes are yummy with tons of home and yard decor as well as craft ideas. Decor is not just kidish - it's traditional too. Price through Amazon is awesome!
