Not One of Their Best 3 out of 5 stars.
15 of 15 people found this review helpful.

I love the first four of these books and have them all, given them for gifts, etc. But, this one for some reason just looks like it was thrown together at the last minute without any thought whatsoever to the designs, crafts, or the recipes. Some of the recipes are repeats from older Christmas cookbooks which I already have and the crafts, well, they're just boring and very basic. The recipes are not that good and normally, they're just incredible. I have to say that I'm extremely disappointed in this book and wish that I had bought the paperback for this one. Even the design layout of the book in general is just boring. There isn't much in the way of color in this one and it is just lacking all the way around. I know that really isn't that important, but when you're trying to do crafts and recipes, I think photos are pretty important. Better try again Gooseberry!

Editorial Review:

Whether you live in the city, suburbs, or rural America, you'll find yourself going 'over the river and through the woods' to a real country holiday with the 5th in this Christmas series from the heartland's Gooseberry Patch-®. Homespun charm shines on every page of this Christmas classic, with over 125 excellent photos and illustrations. From recipes that tempt the palate with old-fashioned goodies like dark chocolate caramels and buttery toffee to the functional charm of a chenille snowman draft-stopper, this is the sort of book that promises and delivers a Christmas to remember. When the goal is the look and feel of a warm country holiday celebration, Gooseberry Patch Christmas-®, Book 5 is the perfect departure point.

Editorial Review:

Mounting evidence has shown that heat destroys many of the nutrients found in raw, living food, rendering it harder to digest and nutritionally diminished. Raw food is catching on! From Hollywood stars with personal chefs, to a host of chic new Manhattan restaurants, the Raw Food movement is sweeping the country as people learn about the dramatic health benefits derived by eating a vegan diet in which food is never heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit.

With this fun, easy, and one-of-a-kind guide, Raw food chef Kristen Suzanne explains how to apply the Raw food diet and lifestyle to the holiday season, with how-to tips and delicious and decorative recipes for Halloween, Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas, and other holiday season festivities. Includes a fabulous Raw Holiday Survival Guide to help Raw vegan enthusiasts adapt this extremely healthy diet and lifestyle to the special demands imposed by the holiday season.

This Raw food vegan recipe book also includes a Raw Basics introduction to Raw food for people who are new to the subject.

The Spirit of Christmas - Book Nineteen 3 out of 5 stars.
18 of 18 people found this review helpful.

I have been a crafter for many years and have used this particular series of books for quite a few of them. Many of the ideas are very good and the photography is done very well. I have found the recipes to be delicious and the directions clear although many are not for the novice cook. NOTEWORTHY; it is not always easy and sometimes impossible to find the supplies listed for some of the projects. I have often been forced to substitute with something else that was close to what was originally called for. I would like to see a "Resources List" with names/addresses/telephone numbers added to these books where project-specific supplies could be purchased.

Editorial Review:

Year after year, readers flock to this yuletide favorite for new ways to ring in the true Spirit of Christmas. Luminous photography and clear, concise directions capture the wonder and excitement of the holidays with jolly ideas for entertaining, cooking, decorating, and gift-giving. This year’s glad tidings even include a variety of low-carb holiday recipes! Decorating themes include a retro Christmas (think sparkly aluminum); richly embellished "Olde World" jewel-tones; and new approaches to time-honored favorites—from traditional to contemporary.

First book in the series 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Let me say that this is a nice book. But, it doesn't have all the color photos, details and recipes that the later editions do so if you have those, don't expect the same with this one. I buy these for friends annually because they are that great and this one is pretty good. I think the third and fourth are the best so far, and this one is just average. The recipes are incredible, however, so it is worth the price of admission just for those. I love these books and it's hard to be disappointed with them once you start using them.

Excellent presentation and accompanying text. 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 16 people found this review helpful.

I have seen this book at the publisher's and it is outstanding. The photographs are exceptional and the descriptions well composed and pertinent. You have, however, left out the name of the CO-AUTHOR, Mary Miley Theobald. I hope you will correct this as both professionals worked long and hard to assemble the edition.

Lovely, Natural Christmas Decorations 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I've used this book over and over to decorate my home at Christmas with Southern style arrangements. Demonstrating these techniques for garden clubs and at libraries, I always found a ready audience for this and it was really easy. I learned it all from this book.
The supplies are easy to gather (pinecones, apples, oranges, holly, greenery, wire, ribbon, etc.). The results are spectacular. Your arrangements will look very professional!
Each page shows four or more drawings showing the steps for attaching the pieces to make a different decoration. It shows various wreaths, table decorations, swags, roping, corner accents for doors, mantel decorations and an herb kissing ball.
If you ever visited Williamsburg at Christmas, you will want to recreate these beautiful arrangements in your home. This website gives you an idea of the variety you can create:

This how-to book contains directions for making forty-two beautiful decorations including an apple cone and an herb wreath. Step-by-step drawings and thirty-five color photographs show how to create each decoration at home

For candy lovers everywhere... 4 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

This book is not only gorgeous, the recipes are easy and taste out of this world. I made turtles first thing, and was astonished at how easy it was. Course, then I had to eat the 48 turtles I just made, which wasn't too difficult! The instructions are simple to follow, and the results are spectacular. I recommend it to anyone who loves candy or loves making special gifts. Top notch!!

Editorial Review:

Confection perfection is easy to achieve with the step-by-step help of dessert expert Lou Seibert Pappas. Why should Santa settle for another cookie, when he could nibble on Chocolate Mallo Fudge or Orange Liqueur Chocolate Truffles? Decked with Frankie Frankeny’s winsome photography and more than 40 recipes, The Christmas Candy Book is the stuff holiday dreams are made of. It includes Yuletide classics like buttery English Toffee and nutty Panforte di Siena as well as inventive dainties like Honey-Lavender Drops and adorable Marzipan Piglets. Stylish tips for serving, wrapping, and storing candies will inspire colorful tabletops and delightful gifts. Bursting with holiday cheer, The Christmas Candy Book is a sweet success from cover to cover.
