The Geranium Farm Cookbook

This cookbook is especially wonderful for those of us who loves desserts. The dessert section is not only the first section, it is by far the longest. The recipes in this book that I have used are easy to follow and delicious. But what I like most is the author's commentary. Her witty personality comes through in the introductions to the recipes, but also in many cases in the recipes themselves. It's fun just to read the book, whether or not I'm looking for a recipe to use. This is a cookbook to which I turn often, especially when I want to learn some new "comfort foods."

The Geranium Farm evolved from Reverand Crafton's imagination and evolved not from the usual restaurant roots, but from an online parish ministry where 'Farmers' began sharing recipes with each other via an email list. Main desserts, appetizers, breakfasts and brunches - the largest section being desserts - are provided in a guide which blends recipes and lore. From a grandmother's Dutch cookies to a Sugar-Free Banana Pudding, Mother's Rhubarb Pie, and more, THE GERANIUM FARM COOKBOOK is packed with delicious dishes. No color photos, but the easy recipes don't need 'em. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
