2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty as long as you don't eat it
A friend recommended this to me and I fell in love with the quaint artwork. But when I buy a cookbook, I do so with the intent to cook, not to gift it to someone else. So I've been disappointed with the lukewarm results from a dozen of the recipes. Just this week I prepared the New Lane Peas and the Clam Fritters and was completely underwhelmed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved the book and buy it for all my friends, January 10, 1998

I received the book for my late summer birthday and can't wait to use the "lanterns" on our patio next summer. I think the font she created is beautiful and recipes delightful.

This review is from: The Summer Book Surprise Package: From the Heart of the Home (Hardcover)
A friend recommended this to me and I fell in love with the quaint artwork. But when I buy a cookbook, I do so with the intent to cook, not to gift it to someone else. So I've been disappointed with the lukewarm results from a dozen of the recipes. Just this week I prepared the New Lane Peas and the Clam Fritters and was completely underwhelmed. Peas were a watery bland mess and the clam fritters were completely tasteless until I added additional seasonings. So if you want to give this book as a gift as other reviewers have done, go for it but please don't give it to someone who actually knows something about food. Susan's a much better artist than she is a chef.
