I’ve been a fan of Gooseberry Patch for so many years so when I saw this book I couldn’t resist buying it. I love that it’s spiral bound, and the pages are easy to wipe clean if something splatters on them.

This book will come in handy when I’m looking for a soup, salad, or sandwich recipe to post for Souper Sundays (soup, salads, or sandwiches) or Weekend Cooking.

Here are some of the recipes I want to try:
Soups
Chicken Cacciatore
Kielbasa
Meatball Vegetable Cheese

Salads
Berry Chicken
Layered Caribbean Chicken
White Bean & Tomato

Sandwiches
Scott’s Ham & Pear
Toasted Chicken Salad Bagels
Yiayia’s Chicken Pitas

Each recipe has the name and place of the person who submited it, and a few of their thouhts on the dish. The last page has U.S. to Canadian Equivlents, Baking Pan Sizes, Recipe Abbreviations, and Kitchen Measurements.

I love this book and want to add more Gooseberry cookbooks to my kitchen library.

Great suggestions for easy peasy good tasting food. I love to read cookbooks but am not a great recipe follower. I often combine the parts/ingredients of recipes that sound good to fit our family's likes and for which I have ingredients (this does not work for baking!). I found this a good source of ideas for easily fixed dishes I knew we would enjoy.

I will look for more Gooseberry books.

Unfortunately, this book isn't for me. it focused a lot on a lot of canned foods, especially pre-sliced veggies. I wasn't inspired to try any of the recipes. I think to avoid confusion, there should be "quick" or "simple" added to the title to give an insight of the kind of recipes you'd find in the book.

101 Soups, Salads & Sandwiches by Gooseberry Patch isn't my kind of cookbook. The recipes lean heavy on canned ingredients and mayonnaise. Similar to a Campbells or Kraft Recipe Book from the 90's. Again, that doesn't mean its bad, just not for me. I prefer fresh, from scratch recipes.

Simple and easy to follow. A lot of great healthy lunch ideas!

So the inclusion of SEVERAL gelatin based “salads” definitely threw me for a loop and side eyeing that whole chapter. Definitely don’t linger too long there.

But the soup chapter? And the inclusion of several pasta salad recipes? Be still my heart.

I found some good, easy recipes to try in this book. They are all recipes sent in from ‘real’ people so those are always yummy.

Lots of processed ingredients

These are the only recipes I am interested in

Chicken Noodle Soup (thickened)
Spicy Cabbage Apple Salad
Pasta Taco Salad

A simple book with simple instructions. The recipes are not particularly healthy or particularly tasty.

Nice cookbook

Some recipes looked common. I especially liked recipes for sauces. I was happy to see some unique sandwich recipes. I will definitely try some!
