How often can you order items from a company, have everything arrive in perfect condition, be better than you imagined and then wish you'd ordered even more?! Thank you for heartfelt gifts I can share with my family, friends and children's teachers.

I have a large collection of cookbooks, but I find myself reaching for the Gooseberry Patch books above all the rest. The pages filled with quick hints and how-to's (along with the recipes) are wonderful!

This review is from: Merry Christmas Cookbook (Seasonal Cookbook Collection) (Hardcover)

This book is loaded with recipes and good ideas for sharing them. The Pumpkin Cream Muffins have a cream cheese center that makes them special. The White Chili, if you've never tried it, is delicious! The Christmas Tree Cinnamon Rolls are so easy, yet impressive looking. And I am tempted to try the Hot Chocolate Muffins, made with hot chocolate, for a breakfast treat.

Add to that the quick ideas that you can do or make in minutes,like Powdered sugar apple party favors. They take minutes, but make a lasting impression. "Merry Christmas" makes it look like you've tried hard and been real thoughtful, but it makes it quick and easy to do so.

I would recommend this book.

I was on a waiting list for over a month for this book then it was "lost" by my mail carrier so I had been waiting a while and the anticipation was not met by what was inside.

There is a section on homemade gifts but really nothing new. There is also a big chapter on peoples shared Christmas memories, while sweet it was not what I wanted to pay for. There havent been any recipes in here that I have tried yet so I guesse that its not that memorable of a book.

Get Jolly Hollidays instead, that is an awesome book.

My daughter recently purchased a Gooseberry patch cook book and was so thrilled with it that I purchase this book and one other for her for her late Nov. birthday. She thinks they are the greatest with hints for making Christmas really memorable and the recipes are so good and most are easy to make and different than most you find in other cook books. We wil definately be ordering more of these books in the future.
