Another Golden Gooseberry.......2002-10-05
For those of you who are familiar with the Gooseberry Patch Co. series, you will not be disappointed with this great cookbook. For those of you who are not familiar with it, what are you waiting for? This series (as well as Holidays at Home specifically) has recipes that are so easy to use, it doesn't matter if you're Julia Child or a 20's male bachelor (heh heh), it's easy to make everything in here. And it's delicious!
While I feel this particular volume doesn't separate itself from the rest of the series, that is not at all a bad thing. It still has the recipes, memories, and ideas that they all have, and you're bound to enjoy it! Plus I'll plug the Old Fashioned Country Cookies title from this series. It's simply amazing.
Happy cooking!

Outstanding! TNT recipes from across the country.......2000-12-26
Although I have over 2,000 cookbooks, this is one of my top favorites. It contains recipes from customers all over the country -- and almost all are preceded by descriptions of why their family loves them, how many people beg for them, etc. Many also include directions for packaging as gifts. The book also contains cute illustrations, many of which provide great ideas for decorating one's own gift containers. There are also a number of quotations, some of which you may want to incorporate in your own crafts. There is nothing fancy about this book or the recipes -- it is primarily down home cooking, and everything I've tried has been delectable -- from layered cookie mix in a jar to main dishes. VERY highly recommended.
Outstanding! Great TNT recipes and crafts from all over.......2000-12-24
I LOVE this book, and everyone on my gift list to whom I have given it has loved it as well. The recipes are the tried-and-true favorites of Gooseberry Patch's staff members and customers from all over the country. Almost all are preceded by brief descriptions (usually about why they're family favorites and/or popular with guests), and many have unique packaging ideas. The illustrations are also warm and wonderful (and provide many ideas for one's own gift-giving).
This is a warm, wonderful book. I love it, and highly recommend it.

great retro crafts!.......2006-08-15
i bought the book for the crafts from vintage linens--beautiful. the food doesn't look bad either.
Can I give it 0 stars?? Save your money.......2006-06-23
Not one "original" idea that I havent seen in every magazine or craft book for years. Most of the items were scrapbooking related, which was little things like tags and noting worth duplicating.
I love Gooseberry Patch, especially their Christmas books (I own them all), but this one has no originality, no spark, nothing that is worth even trying to do for a project. Usually there is at least ONE project that has me excited and running to the craft store, but this one was just boring and dull.
Save your money and just check it out at the library.

Full of New Ideas!.......2006-08-24
I'm addicted to Christmas books & magazines, so I wasn't sure if I'd really find anything new or unique in this book. This is the first Gooseberry Patch book I've ever looked through, so I can't comment on how it compares with other G.P. editions, but I did find many cute and clever craft ideas and recipes that were new to me. One idea I plan to try is the Framed Hankie Card Holder that uses a wood frame and 3 Christmas-themed hankies to create pockets to hold received cards (sounds odd, but it's cute). Other ideas I liked for my home using red & white fabrics and holiday-themed tea towels include a Quilt, Tea Towel Gift Bags, Table Runner & Chair Back Covers. A clever gift for kids to make is a covered chip can filled with chocolate-dipped potato chips (the kind of chips that all have the same shape and line up in a tall can). Lots of snowflake-themed gifts, a few pet gifts, wrapping and card ideas. Plus, there are dozens of great, new recipes for food gifts, holiday meals and entertaining (hot drink mixes, decadent desserts, soups, and some new side dish combinations).

They've Done It Again.......2006-10-25
Gooseberry Patch has come up with another cookbook with easy recipes and fun ideas to get you in the xmas spirit without adding much to your to-do list. The recipes and ideas are quick, for the most part, and I really like that people send in their favorite ones, like "This is what my family asks for every xmas morning" kinds of recipes. I personally am about to try Ginger and Spice Muffin Mix (to give as a gift) and Overnight Sweet Rolls (to eat ASAP).
There are also instructions in the back of the book for gifts to make, called "Handmade and Heartfelt". Things like Sugar and Spice Milk Bath, Christmas Scent Mix and gift tags and cards are included to copy color and cut out to give along with the gifts.
I would recommend this book as a gift to yourself or others.
Nice, Homey, Recipe Book.......2006-10-24
Cozy Country Christmas is the latest in a long line of Gooseberry Patch cookbooks. As a collector, I've come to appreciate the friendly tone of these cookbooks, and the fun (and easy to make) recipes. Cozy Country Christmas was delightful... I really got in the mood for the holidays after reading this one.
My only concern/minor dislike was that there were 48 pages of memories in the first section, and while I enjoyed reading them, I don't think they have much re-read value.
Overall, an excellent book by the fun folks at Gooseberry Patch. When will the next one be out?
Book Description
In 1992, our first cookbook, Old-Fashioned Country Christmas Cookbook, was published. Thanks to the letters and recipes you'd shared with us over the years, we got the idea of bringing it all together into one special Christmas cookbook, full of memories, tips and of course, tried & true recipes. It's the book Vickie goes back to every time she needs a little inspiration or that recipe for chicken casserole supreme! It just goes to show, while a little change is good, it's the memories and lasting traditions that always bring us back home to the country.

Best Christmas Book Ever!!.......2001-06-10
I have several of the Gooseberry Patch cookbooks but I have to admit that this is one of my favorites! Mainly because I like reading about the traditions and I will read it all throughout the year. One of the best hints is to help defray the cost of a Christmas tree during the holiday season, we decorate an old coffee container and tape it around the top and throw in all of our loose change all year round and believe me by December you will have enough money to buy a very nice tree and it doesn't seem to hurt the pocket book so much.
Creative food presented in a graphic style I love ---Buy it!.......1999-08-14
Every one of this series is read and enjoyed both for the tasty, homemade, loving recipes but equally for the hand drawn country illustraions. the spiral binding is handy in the kitchen and the cover makes it a cute addition to a shelf or table set up for the holidays.. No I don't work for the company I'm just a long time fan! Great for gifts, too. They are WELL received !
A one of a kind book.......1999-03-01
This book was definitely not a waste of money. It gives ideas for family traditions, homemade gifts, and lots of good recipes. This Gooseberry book would make a good holiday gift for any family member or friend who enjoys homemade items or craft activities.

Book Description
Developed originally for medieval battle flags, heraldic coats of arms quickly became emblems of noble families' origins and identities. This unique illustrated book explores the roots and uses of heraldry and its terminology and lore, and shows how it influenced the design and decor of 50 houses owned and preserved by Britain's National Trust.
Drawing on their official access to the records of Britain's College of Arms, the authors illuminate the development of each house's heraldic symbols, which can indicate everything from marriages and honors to social status and even a sense of humor. The lush color photographs reveal the decorative uses of heraldry, as seen on paneling, carpets, stained glass, china, even door latches. Line drawings of each coat of arms and a gazetteer of what to look for in other National Trust properties provide readers with plenty more to investigate in historic houses throughout Great Britain.
216 illustrations, 111 in full color, 8 3/4 x 9 5/8"
THOMAS WOODCOCK is Norroy and Ulster King of Arms at Britain's College of Arms, responsible with Garter King of Arms for all grants of arms north of England's River Trent. He is the author of The Dictionary of British Arms.
JOHN MARTIN ROBINSON is Maltravers Herald Extraordinary at the College of Arms and the author of several books on historic British architecture. Together, they wrote The Oxford Guide to Heraldry.

A gorgeous "drool" book.......2005-07-08
Visit the ancestral home of an ancient titled family in Britain (many of them now in the care of the National Trust), and you're likely to be confronted by carved lions, painted greyhounds, and basilisks figured in the table linen. There's not a baronial manor that doesn't feature heraldic symbols everywhere they can be portrayed, a sort of billboard advertising the dignity of the resident family. More than fifty sumptuous homes are featured in this coffee table volume, including Tattershall Castle, property of the Cromwells, Blickling Hall, which belonged to the earls of Buckinghamshire, and Baddesley Clinton, seat of the Ferrers family, of medieval origins. There are more than a hundred full color plates and illustrations, plus another hundred heraldric line drawings. In explaining the symbolism depicted and the uses made of it, the authors include a great deal of anecdotal history of the great aristocratic families. A treasure trove for art and architecture historians as well as heraldicists.
Heraldic aspects of great homes in Britain.......2002-06-16
Over the centuries the gentry and nobility of England and Wales have displayed their wealth and power through the magnificence of their dwellings. Heraldry is a visual form of identity, used to display ownership. In this well-researched and illustrated book two officers of the English College of Arms write with authority about the heraldry to be discovered in many different forms in some historic homes under the management of the National Trust of England. This book is a joy to read and browse, for the serious student of heraldry, and those seeking a deeper understanding of the uses of heraldry as seen in historic homes of Britain.
