About the Author

Back in 1984, Vickie Hutchins and Jo Ann Martin, next-door neighbors raising their families in the little town of Delaware, Ohio, started Gooseberry Patch. They were two moms with small children looking for a way to do what they loved and stay home with the kids too. They shared a love of home cooking and making memories with family & friends. After many a conversation over the backyard fence, Gooseberry Patch was born.
They put together the first catalog & cookbooks at their kitchen tables and packed boxes from the basement, enlisting the help of loved ones wherever they could. From that little family, Gooseberry Patch has grown to include an amazing group of creative folks who love cooking, decorating and creating as much as Vicki and Jo Ann. Hard to believe it's been over 25 years since those kitchen-table days.
Today, Gooseberry Patch is best known for homestyle, family-friendly cookbooks. They love hand-picking the recipes and are tickled to share their inspiration, ideas and more with you. One thing's for sure, they couldn't have done it without their friends all across the country. Whether you've been along for the ride from the beginning or are just discovering Gooseberry Patch, welcome to the family!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is THE BEST!, July 24, 2000

This review is from: Welcome Home for the Holidays (Gooseberry Patch) (Plastic Comb)

The many wonderful recipes and decorating ideas in this book have become tradition in our home over the past few years. My children (and even their friends) never let me forget 'Dinner in a Pumpkin'. I have also given this book as a gift several times to my children's teachers. This is a "must have" for those of you like me who love the times between Halloween and Christmas.

I have had Welcome Home for the Holidays since it first came out. I loved it so much I bought a copy for my sister, and now have gotten it for another friend. It's an oldie but a goodie. Gooseberry Patch cookbooks are a delight to read. The recipes are tried and true, and the stories that go with them will warm your heart. Over the years I have collected many of the Gooseberry Patch books, but this one was my first holiday book and is still my favorite.
