5.0 out of 5 stars Best cookbook in my collection, November 30, 1999

By A Customer

Every recipe that I have made from this book is delicious and has received rave reviews from my family. The recipes are easy to follow and use common ingredients, but are quite unique and creative. The format of the book is delightful with its emphasis on family, friends, and fresh ingredients from the garden.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT, October 10, 2000

By	"denipapak" (Sterling Heights, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hollyhocks and Radishes: Mrs Chard's Almanac Cookbook (Hardcover)

The minute I started reading this cookbook it instantly became my favorite! It is full of the best recipies...practical ones that use the freshest ingredients. It is set up so that you can create favorites for each season using what is most readily available. Along with the recipies is a delightful story that is so heartfelt it brought tears to my ears many times. I intend to buy many more copies as gifts.
