From the Inside Flap

Recently I purchased Good for You and I'm having the most wonderful time! Most enjoyable for me are the traditions and country ideas that my fellow "country folk" share. I am sad to tell you, though, that I don't like sharing my Gooseberry Patch books with anyone! My reason is simple and purely selfish...people take too long to return them! I have begun encouraging them to get their own!

I read my Gooseberry Patch books over and over and they speak to me of gentleness and good times, and somehow always bring thoughts of my precious grandma. I used to think I had the privilege of having the most wonderful grandmother in the world, but your books tell me the world is filled with loving grandmothers. I shall try to be one myself. Thank you for that.

I bought my first Gooseberry Patch book, Coming Home for Christmas, before Thanksgiving. I can't begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed it. My daughter Brandy, who is 17, and I used several suggestions from it to help make our Christmas very special and a memory we both will cherish. Thank you for creating something that has brought so much enjoyment to so many people.

If you're a real gung ho Christmas person you might like this book. However, if you already own a lot of Gooseberry Patch books (like I do) you may be disappointed. There are lots of repeated ideas and recipes. Maybe not exactly the same but extremely similar to those in other Gooseberry Patch books. Be cautious if you're a collector.

For those of you who are familiar with the Gooseberry Patch Co. series, you will not be disappointed with this great cookbook. For those of you who are not familiar with it, what are you waiting for? This series (as well as Holidays at Home specifically) has recipes that are so easy to use, it doesn't matter if you're Julia Child or a 20's male bachelor (heh heh), it's easy to make everything in here. And it's delicious!
While I feel this particular volume doesn't separate itself from the rest of the series, that is not at all a bad thing. It still has the recipes, memories, and ideas that they all have, and you're bound to enjoy it! Plus I'll plug the Old Fashioned Country Cookies title from this series. It's simply amazing.
Happy cooking!
