Gooseberry Patch - Comfort Foods Cookbook - Homestyle Recipes For Feel-Good Foods Like Mom Used To make - Everyday Cookbook Collection

Welcome to Our Friends

Dear Friend,

Some of our warmest childhood memories involve food. If we had the sniffles, Mom tucked us in with a mug of chicken soup. When we came in hungry after a day of outdoor fun, she was ready with her crispy-topped macaroni & cheese. Maybe thats why some foods are so comforting to us as grownupstheyre seasoned with love and memories!

In Comfort Foods , weve gathered the most scrumptious and satisfying recipes to soothe and cheer you. Get the day off to a sunny start with Florences Buttermilk Pancakes and a pot of Dreamy Hot Chocolate. Welcome your family home on a blustery day with a cozy meal of Janets Awesome Meatloaf, Slow-Cooked Creamy Potatoes and Cherry-Apple Crisp for dessert.

Feeling a bit under the weather? Hot Lemon Spice Tea and Grandmas Chicken Noodle Soup or Roses Baked Custard will perk you up in a jiffy. Turn a frown upside-down with a batch of Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies warm from the oven.

Weve even provided scaled-down recipes that serve just one or twosatisfy a craving without cooking up food for 8 to 10! There are easy tips to make good food taste even better too.

Whether comfort food means creamy, cheesy, chocolatey or savory to you, youll find your favorites here.

Save some for us!

What Folks are Saying About Us

I own a lot of cookbooks, but the only ones I curl up to spend a few hours enjoying are my Gooseberry Patch books. I have 10 now and love them all. The first 3 books I bought were for Christmas gifts for friends. I thought I would take a peek before I wrapped them. Well...my friends got other gifts instead. I couldnt part with those books!

Our Story

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

We put together the first catalog & cookbooks at our kitchen tables and packed boxes from the basement, enlisting the help of our loved ones wherever we could. From that little family, weve grown to include an amazing group of creative folks who love cooking, decorating and creating as much as we do.

Hard to believe its been over 25 years since those kitchen-table days. Today were best known for our homestyle, family-friendly cookbooks, now recognized as national bestsellers! We love hand-picking the recipes and are tickled to share our inspiration, ideas and more with you. One things for sure, we couldnt have done it without our friends all across the country. Whether youve been along for the ride from the beginning or are just discovering us, welcome to our family!
