5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, quality book!, March 14, 2000

If you love to snuggle up with a wonderful cookbook to read, buy this one! I've had this book for at least 10 years and I still pull it off the shelf to look at the wonderful illustrations by Tasha Tudor and read the interesting anecdotes. The book is divided into chapters, each reflecting a holiday or cherished event -- from Easter to New Year's Open House to Picnic by the River -- and opens with a short story on the family traditions so associated. I like it most because it is both modern and quaint at the same time. As for the recipes, I must admit I haven't tried very many...

5.0 out of 5 stars A great cookbook and a great read, September 24, 2011

I've had this cookbook "forever" and I simply adore it. The drawings are charming and the stories add such a nice dimension to the cookbook -- I love reading about holiday traditions whether it's a birthday party, Halloween, or Christmas. And the recipes are delicious and I've used them over and over again.

It's a great reading book but it's also a great cookbook. The cutout cookies in the Christmas chapter has become our "go to" cut out cookies for any occasion. I have made almost every recipe in this book over the years and I have NEVER been disappointed.

I have bought many as gifts, I've found it so charming. There are two other books by Ms. Campbell and they are equally as charming.

My favorite cookbook to puruse on a cool fall or winter day....the recipes are the finest....had to have my own copy as I grew up coveting my mother's and she is still not ready to part with hers..she is 88. Love this softbound version....and Tasha Tudor is nothng less than an inspiration for me to live an authentic life.
