5.0 out of 5 stars YARN YUMMIES!!, March 23, 2009

By	Leslie Southard "Meow Me" (Waterloo, SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just received this book last Friday and I've already made the Pumpkin Pie (I have a pumpkin fetish and have been knitting little pumpkins and dreaming of the return of my favorite season... Fall!!) The patterns are cute (as pie, of course!) and easy to follow and you can easily glam them up with special yarns. I've already bought some yummy dark red lambs wool and a frothy creamy white yarn to create a Red Velvet Cake Slice from the chocolate cake pattern. I even bought some small brown beading "nuts" to sew onto the frosting. The patterns are divided up into breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. They are great gifts for all ages and just plain fun to make. Just the idea of crocheting an asparagus stalk cracks me up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious!, April 30, 2009

By	Alice "lost in wonderland" (Texas) - See all my reviews

I've casually collected food patterns for years from internet and magazines and this is the best crochet food collection I've ever seen. This book goes beyond the typical doughnut or cupcake and includes many unexpected items, like tacos and pita pockets with falafels. The details are fabulous without being overwhelmingly difficult. For example, the pizza has olives, peppers and even sauce! The salami sandwich pattern isn't just salami and bread, it's got the whole works -- cheese, lettuce and tomato. If you like crocheting food, you won't be disappointed with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book!, October 4, 2009

By	Cy (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

I absolutely love this book! The pictures are amazing and the instructions are very clear and simple. I'm new to crocheting so I was worried this would be too advanced for me but it's perfect. There are even pictures in the back that show you each stitch and technique. If you're a beginner looking for a book that's more than just basic blankets and scarves, I'd recommend this one.
