"I just bought a Gooseberry Patch cookbook for a friend and ordered two for myself. I'm still devouring Fresh from the Farmstand, and I absolutely love it! I can't wait until this summer, when I can use my fresh garden pickings and put them right into a delicious dish using a recipe from your cookbook." -Ann Aulwes, Russell, IA
"I bought Old-Fashioned Country Christmas, my first Gooseberry Patch cookbook, about 15 years ago, and I was hooked! I've collected your cookbooks ever since. The nostalgic artwork, personal stories and easy recipes contributed by readers from all over the US and Canada make your cookbooks some of my favorites. It's very comforting to flip through the pages of your cookbooks and realize how much alike we all really are." -Elizabeth Le Vesque, Dayton, OH
"I just received my Simple Shortcut Recipes cookbook and feel so proud that one of my recipes was selected. I have spent over an hour perusing all the recipes and can hardly wait to try some of them. Your cookbooks are so special...I always know that when I use one of the recipes, it's going to be great! Again, thank you for the honor of having my recipe included and for the FREE cookbook!" -Sharon Haddock, Klamath Falls, OR
