Gooseberry Patch creates exceptional cookbooks that you want to linger with for hours. Add that this one is filled with Christmas traditions, and it can't be beat.
These books are filled with recipes from Gooseberry Patch customers and homey artwork. Craft projects and family traditions add even more to the book.
I don't own a single Gooseberry Patch cookbook that I don't return to again and again and I know this one will be the same. You really can't go wrong with their books. It will put you in the holiday mood any time of year.

Camille Glenn hails from my home state of Kentucky and personifies
southern hospitality. This book offers 100 recipes divided into 19
menus. With her guiding hand, you'll be able to throw a tree-trimming
party or host a fireside holiday picnic. Ms. Glenn believes in cream,
butter, eggs and lots of them. And, really, what better time to
splurge than the holidays? In addition to the recipes, she includes
stories and traditions that put them in context. In the book's
introduction she sums up her approach eloquently by writing, "There is
a certain depth and beauty in a home, no matter how humble, when
there is grace and love in a kitchen that is alive with the warmth
of good things cooking for our families and friends to eat."

People are always asking me if I have a favorite cookbook. I have
hundreds (a thousand?) of books and it would be hard to choose just one,
but if I had to pick, it might well be "Christmas Cook." I adore the
holidays, I love to cook, I enjoy history and I collect cookbooks so it's difficult
to come up with a better combination. Weaver gives us a glimpse into
Christmases past, with recipes dating from 1628 to 1921. All the recipes
are updated for today's kitchen.

Recipes, traditions, drawings and holiday tales make this book
one you'll turn to again and again for Christmas inspiration.
It has recipes for the tried-and-true things we expect from a
holiday, and some new twists too. It's a beautiful, glossy,
full-color book with a nice section on food gifts to give. The
editors give you menus to work from including a skating party,
a holiday brunch and Christmas eve dinner.
This is the first cookbook from Gooseberry Patch. The artwork is
delightful line drawings that make you
feel cozy and warm all over. Not only are there recipes, but also
ideas for making the holidays great. Quotes, traditions and tips
abound. It's like having hot chocolate in front of the fire -- it's
hard to find much wrong with this book. It's one of my favorite
cookbooks of all time. It gets my highest recommendation.
Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous cookie recipes! A couple of my most
favorite cookie recipes are from this book. Don't miss "Patrick's
Chocolate Brownies" on page 81 --- they're divine. It's filled with
great recipes as well as traditions and tips.
This cookbook includes recipes geared to harvest time through
Christmas. Decorating tips, recipes, easy-to-make gifts and
traditions are included. The artwork is warm and comfortable.
You'll want to curl up with a cup of tea while you enjoy this book.
This cookbook maintains the high standards already set by Gooseberry
Patch. It has fewer traditions and tips and more recipes. It is a bit more
"sophisticated" than former volumes with regard to recipes and artwork.
The same feeling of homeyness is there, but it's a bit toned down.
I really enjoy reading about other people's holidays and this book doesn't
have as much of this as former Christmas books from them. However, let me be
very clear, it is still a great book. Anyone who enjoys the
holidays and cooking would be thrilled to have a copy.

No holiday is more steeped in tradition than Christmas. We bring out the special angel, trim the tree with the ornament we made in kindergarten and whip up the traditional food. We’ve been doing it for more than a century now, since the Victorians popularized this most festive of holidays. This cookbook touches on Christmases past with some great history lessons. The recipes cover everything imaginable --- from old favorites to new twists. The 350 recipes were submitted by members of the Mystic Seaport Museum.
