Modern kitchen, old-fashioned flavors: Comfort foods your family loves, using your favorite appliances

Back in 1984, we were next-door neighbors raising our families in the little town of Delaware, Ohio. Two moms with small children, we were looking for a way to do what we loved and stay home with the kids too. We had always shared a love of home cooking and making memories with family & friends and so, after many a conversation over the backyard fence, Gooseberry Patch was born.

We put together our first catalog at our kitchen tables, enlisting the help of our loved ones wherever we could. From that very first mailing, we found an immediate connection with many of our customers and it wasnt long before we began receiving letters, photos and recipes from these new friends. In 1992, we put together our very first cookbook, compiled from hundreds of these recipes and, the rest, as they say, is history.

Hard to believe its been over 30 years since those kitchen-table days! From that original little Gooseberry Patch family, weve grown to include an amazing group of creative folks who love cooking, decorating and creating as much as we do. Today, were best known for our homestyle, family-friendly cookbooks, now recognized as national bestsellers.

One things for sure, we couldnt have done it without our friends all across the country. Each year, were honored to turn thousands of your recipes into our collectible cookbooks. Our hope is that each book captures the stories and heart of all of you who have shared with us. Whether youve been with us since the beginning or are just discovering us, welcome to the Gooseberry Patch family!

Your cookbook, Our Best 150 Recipes in a 13x9 Pan , intrigued me from the start, as I love my 13x9 pans. I was not disappointed! I spent a recent weekend cooking up various recipes to share with someone whose father is in hospice and doesnt have time to cook. The recipes are all easy-peasy, with ingredients that many of us already have sitting on our pantry shelves. My favorites so far are the Sunday Chicken & Dressing, Minty Melon Salad and Grandma Gracie's Lemon Cake...delicious! Everything is here, from appetizers to main courses and sides. If you like fast, easy, painless and good, this cookbook is for you.

I received a copy of Slow Cooking All Year Round because I had a recipe published in it. Im so thankful I have this book, because its been a fantastic resource! I use my slow cookers often. Theyre so handy anytime theres a busy day ahead, or if I just want to have supper ready without any effort at the last moment. The Christmas Egg Brunch is a recipe I have made often. Just add some fresh fruit and muffins to the menu, and you are set! There are many other main dishes I like and many more that I would like to try. Papas Favorite Cheesy Corn Soup is a big favorite that Ive made at least a dozen times. Recently Ive tried some desserts: Gingerbread Pudding Cake and Slow-Cooker Apple Pie...scrumptious! Whether you use your slow cooker often, or youre just getting started with it, you will be glad to have this resource on your cookbook shelf!

Maybe most people go to bed at night with a novel or a magazine to read. I have many, many Gooseberry Patch cookbooks and each & every night I take one of them with me to bed. I plan my meals for the week, then drift off to sleep, dreaming of the delicious meals I am about to prepare. Thank you, G ooseberry Patch , for the delicious dreams!

Short on time? With an electric pressure cooker, you can cook up all your familys favorite meals in a fraction of the time. Pressure-Cooker Pulled Pork, Country Chicken Soup, even down-home Potatoes & Green Beans taste like they cooked all day. And, how about Salted Caramel Cheesecake for dessert?

Got more time? Go low & slow with a slow cooker. Treat your family to slow-simmered dishes like fork-tender Italian Pot Roast, tummy-warming Loaded Baked Potato Soup and Creamy Hashbrowns...even Hot Fudge Spoon Cake. Yum!

And theres more! Your microwave can do more than pop popcorn... try Chicken Tetrazzini for tonights dinner! The countertop grill can make ooey-gooey GGs Grilled Cheese. It can also serve up Vinces Fiesta Chicken! Cook up Tinas Famous Corn Dogs to crisp, golden perfection, using a countertop deep fryer. Make Chilled Gazpacho Soup with your blender and Chocolate Waffle Sundaes with your waffle iron. Who knew?
