Growing up, it seems like most of our fondest memories took place in Moms cozy kitchen. She always had a mug of hot cocoa ready, crunchy cookies in the cookie jar and, at dinnertime, a hearty meal that brought the whole family together. No wonder were so partial to food just like Mom used to make!

Moms Very Best Recipes is filled with quick & easy dishes shared by moms of today and tried & true favorites from mothers of yesterday. Youll find scrumptious casseroles and stovetop meals...Tangy BBQ Chicken, Melindas Veggie Stir-Fry and Texas Taco Biscuit Bake...a tasty mix of easy almost-homemade recipes and fast, fresh recipes. Round out the menu with speedy sides like Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes, Glorified Green Beans and Grammys Creamy Fruit Salad.

But thats not all! Hearty Multi-Grain Waffles and Honey-Baked Bananas will get everyone off to a cheerful start. On chilly days, serve up comforting cups of Chicken Tortilla Soup or Southern Corn Chowder. For get-togethers and after-school snacking, try Crispy Chicken Tasties, English Muffin Pizzas and Playful Pretzels...sure to be a hit! Youll find tempting, easy-to-make desserts like Moist Chocolate Cake, Peanut Butter Brownies and Best-Ever Strawberry Shortcake too.

What Folks are
Saying About Us

Thank you so much for the slow-cooker cookbooks! I am a busy working mom with kids involved in so many activities, its tough to get a dinner ready after work, especially when we all are getting home at different times. The recipes are wonderful and easy...they take away some of the stress!

I just made the Molasses Sugar Cookies from Taste of Autumn. These cookies have been one of my familys favorites since I got this book many years ago...we know its fall here in Michigan when they go into the oven. Thank you, Gooseberry Patch , for such wonderful cookbooks and thanks to your contributors for sharing such heartwarming recipes.

Our Story

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 25 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!
