Pickles, Peaches and Chocolate: Easy, Elegant Gifts from Your Kitchen

PICKLES,PEACHES AND CHOCOLATE - LOVED THE BOOK! I've tried six or seven of the tremendous recipes and all have been a success. It has also been the "MOST PICKED UP" of my coffee table books. If you are an accompished cook or a "Kluz in the kitchen" you'll find this book user friendly and all the rercipies and ideas perfect, unique and great host/hostess gifts! ( my favorites, so far, the "killer brownies and "papaya seed dressing") YUM!

This book is not only full of tasty treats but thoughtful suggestions for gift-giving! The cover caught my eye and from there it was pure pleasure wading through the many different accompaniments and special food ideas to please you and your friends. Not only does the author suggest how to package these items but unique ways in which to present them for gifts. A lot of thought has gone into this book. She has done all the hard stuff for us (thinking) and now all we have to do is wrap it up and give it. This book will be a treasure for many years to come. Thank you, Karen!

This book is a great resource for those who love to give gifts that include food and thoughtfulness. All the ideas are so perfectly organized, easy to follow - makes it extememly useful. A great way to organize a book. Sections divided by no cooking, some cooking, a lot of cooking, etc. and every recipe has a gift idea so all the thinking is done and easy to follow. Beautiful section of photos. I have used at least 10 recipes already because there is something for every occasion. I highly recommend this book for any person that understands the love that goes with food, family and friends. I've also given this as a gift and had great joy in that. Hats off to this creative author.
