A great girly gift

This is a prettified cookbook set in a memory book style. It makes a great gift for the woman who likes fru-fru. (Fru-fru: pretty, lovely things as opposed to practical, nonsensical things) The book is divided into the four seasons with decorated pages apropos of the season. Spring: A cream cheese spread filled with grated carrots, green onions, celery, and seasoned salt to use on onion bagels. Cool. Strawberry and Romaine salad with Raspberry Poppy Seed dressing. A page illustrated at the top with rubber boots and a small crate of freshly dug new red potatoes, the recipe for New Potatoes in Sour Cream in the middle, and a casually set buffet with the finished recipe at the bottom. Lovely! My favorite recipe of Spring is Cream of Anything Soup. Summer is lovely with Perfect Harmony Fruit Salad, homemade Barbecue Sauce (like my grandmother used to make), Lemon Vinegar, and a fabulous Easy Manicotti recipe, and Mexicali Quiche. My favorite is the Pasta with Chicken and Squash (both yellow and green), and Pear Zucchini Bread. "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower"--Camus. Cindy's Corn Casserole, Orange-Banana Bread, Harvest Muffins (filled with grated carrots, apples, and pecans), Hearty Vegetable-Beef Soup, and Apple Pie Pockets fill the autumn air with delightful aromas. Winter brings Hot Spiced Cider, Chicken Strudel (that flames the imagination), Peppercorn Chicken Breasts, Ginger Snaps, and Holiday Place Cards. The last section is a miscellany of delights: comfort foods like Meat Loaf, Grandma's Hot Rolls, Cinnamon Strips, and Simple Pleasure Pound Cake. "Keeping Good Company" is a dream book as much as a cookbook, a delight for eye and nose. Put on some Chopin, sit with a cup of tea, and take in the soft beauty of this book while discovering new culinary treasures.

very versitile cookbook... beautiful too!

I own every cookbook in this series and this is my second favorite. I find this cookbook to use normal, everyday ingredients that are easy to find. I also find that the receipes give a new, fresh twist to down home foods. I especially like the approach they take in making the dish simple and quick to prepare. Another nice feature of this cookbook is the organization of the seasons and dishes that would compliment that season. This would be a wonderful addition to your cookbook collection. Note... be sure to try the Angels-Among-Us cake. You will definately make it for years to come!

Excellent for those who don't consider themselves good cooks

My girlfriend was preparing a recipe from this book and raved about how much her family enjoyed it. She offered to write the recipe down for me and pulled out her copy of "Keeping Good Company". I was attracted to the beautiful artwork and asked to page through her book. I immediately found several other recipes my family (of picky eaters) would enjoy. I do not consider myself a good cook, but I found these recipes to be simple and quite delicious. I plan to give each of my sisters a copy for Christmas.

A Feast for the Soul

A collaboration of two creative women whose work is both useful and at the same time beautiful to view. The recipes represent good, down-to-earth-but-today's kind of cooking, promising a treat upon completion. They are easy to follow and don't require hours of shopping for the ingredients! The illustrations add pleasure to the reader. This book warms your heart and tummy.
