Product Description

There's nothing like gathering around the table for a homecooked meal. Our favorite dinners are always those tried & true recipes that have been handed down, or ones shared by a good friend. Start with Homestyle Baked Spaghetti, Oven Beef & Noodles or Barbecued Honey Ham, and then add a tasty side dish like Confetti Coleslaw, Creamy Macaroni & Cheese or Mom's Potato Salad. And who can resist scrumptious desserts? Cherry Delight, Peach Crinkle, Crustless Apple Pie and Sunny Day Brownies are all yummy ways to end a family meal.

5Another great cookbook!!
By T George
I already own this cookbook, but still excited to see that it was available on Kindle!
Gooseberry Patch has some of the most awesome cookbooks out there! They are full of tried and true recipes from contributors who have invented recipes of their own or they have been handed down through generations...so you know they are good! And one of the things I love most about them is, you can substitute low fat, sugar free, wheat products, etc for the ingredients in most of the recipes to fit your own family's needs and tastes!
And another thing...you can read their cookbooks like they are novels! They are full of stories, tips for cooking and crafts that bring back memories in the kitchen or inspire you to begin a new project!

5Fills your heart, home and family dinner plate.
By SusieQTpie
First off, I'm a fan of Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks. So this is a biased review and I got the book for free today on Kindle. I have their print and ecookbooks. I'm a huge fan of the paper books just because I love curling up with a cookbook and marking pages with sticky notes. BUT I have to admit I'm becoming a quick collector of their ebooks, especially when they offer their freebies. I'm now getting copies of ebooks of paper books that I own. I love taking my ereader with me to the store. Never again will I forget an ingredient to a new, tasty recipe. It does take time to get use to the ereader format for most books. It isn't the same as pulling a book off the shelf but it works! I"m also a huge fan of their new line of photos of every recipe. These cookbooks can be enjoyed with the paper copy and colored ereaders.

Gooseberry Patch has made a business out of collecting recipes from kitchen all across America and producing cookbooks chocked full of tasty recipes and helpful tips. Not every recipe is one that I would make but I love reading what other kitchen moms are making and trying. As with all cookbooks, being that a Gooseberry Patch or some other brand, I can almost always find something new to serve my family.

For this cookbook, I love looking at the variations of recipes that are already familiar with me. So for example, in this cookbook, a reader submitted Mom's Potato Salad. I'm a mom and I've been making potato salad since I was a kid. I don't even have my own written recipe for this salad because I make it different every time. That is why I appreciate reading another "Mom's Potato Salad" because now I have some new ideas to add to my ever so changing potato salad. The recipe in this book is mayonnaise based, red potato with a zing of horseradish. Bam! That is it. I'm going to add horseradish to my next batch of potato salad. See I found a new idea!

The recipes in this cookbook could easily be called Family Favorite Comfort Foods because that is what they are! Casseroles, fried chicken, baked spahgetti, apple pie (crustless), brownies and more! Pair any of their tasty mains with a healthy salad to balance out your menu that you serve your family. The book was full of such tips. I loved the "Spicy side" which instructed one to take frozen corn and stir in red roasted chilies, cumin, chili power and serrano chile. Yum!

I LOVED the last chapter, "Keep these basic pantry items on hand & you can whip up just about anything!" which is helpful for any kitchen.

True to their Gooseberry Patch style, this cookbook will fill your heart, home and family dinner plate with loving, tasty goodness! Thanks Gooseberry Patch.

5I personally love the Gooseberry line of cookbooks
By Published Gooseberry Author
Instead of writing a review bashing everything in the cookbook, why not specifically LOOK for a cookbook that offers veggies and sides and promotes low-cal and fat-free dishes. I personally love the recipes in the Gooseberry cookbooks because they are down-to-earth recipes that don't require the need for fancy ingredients that I probably won't already have on hand, my family will eat them, as well as others when I share them at potlucks, family reunions, etc. I'm health conscious as well, but that's where my other cookbooks come in handy. If I'm looking for a low-calorie salad recipe to use as a side dish, I'll pull out my weight watchers low-calorie side dishes or salads cookbook and find another recipe. But, that doesn't mean I'm going to get nasty and come over here and start mudslinging on the Gooseberry site. Vicky and JoAnn have made a great success with their cookbooks just as they are, and the stories that go along with the recipes are fun to read as well. I, personally, am giving this cookbook, just like the others, a 5-star rating.
