5.0 out of 5 stars It taught me to cook delicious meals., May 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Heart of the Home: Notes From a Vineyard Kitchen (Hardcover)

I received this book soon after I was married, when all I could cook were hot dogs. This book taught me that I can make easy, delicious meals that everyone wants the recipe for! I have given this book to at least 3 people and am buying it yet again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Cookbook Ever!, April 22, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Heart of the Home: Notes From a Vineyard Kitchen (Hardcover)

My Wife and I were given this book as a gift 6 years ago and we have purchased every book Susan Branch has produced ever since. Just about every dish we try in the book turns out to be a favorite. In addition, the artwork is hand done and exceptional. My advice to anyone is to buy this book

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful cookbook - a perfect gift, June 12, 2000

Karin Vertefeuille (HEBRON, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heart of the Home: Notes From a Vineyard Kitchen (Hardcover)

This is not only a beautifully illustated cookbook, but it is a cookbook full of recipes that are not only easy to make, but delicious. The carrot cake is my favorite, although I have tried many of the recipes and have yet to find one I did not like. I have given this as a gift for birthdays, bridal showers and mother's day and have found that it is perfect for a "new" cook or experienced one!
