This review is from: The Good Neighbor Cookbook: 125 Easy and Delicious Recipes to Surprise and Satisfy the New Moms, New Neighbors, Recuperating Friends, ... Cohorts and Block Party Pals in Your Life! [Paperback]I am the most unlikely person to rave about a cookbook, because I have owned many over my lifetime. The vast majority of which contain a few recipe "gems" amongst many unworthy of a second try. However, this is the first cookbook I truly love. I have made over a dozen recipes (only a couple of which I have actually given away) and all have been outstanding. The recipes are both interesting and easy to prepare using ingredients I usually stock in my kitchen. In addition, dishes store well for leftovers. My family's favorites so far are the chocolate sheet cake, olive oil & cornmeal cake, earl grey tea shortbread, chicken cacciatore, and potato gnocchi minestrone. When I do find occasion to give a dish to a friend, I look forward to having this book as a reference. I appreciate the suggestions for gift-giving: deliver one batch of baked biscuits along with one frozen batch & baking directions, or send pre-made yogurt cups along with granola and fresh berries. Come to think of it, this cookbook itself makes a great gift......

Cohorts and Block Party Pals in Your Life! [Paperback]I keep going back to this book because it thinks like I do. I needed something to take to a friend who had foot surgery. The Get Well Soon section led me to Quinoa-Walnut-Celery salad. My healthy friend across town had a new baby so I turned to the Bringing Home Baby section and chose the smoothie kits. Next week is Scrapbooking so at the last minute I'll turn to the Book Club section (close enough) and whatever I choose will be a success. This afternoon I made the Chipotle-Pineapple Guacamole for our Super Bowl party. I've made this several times now so canned chipotles in adobo sauce are now a permanent part of my pantry. It's so easy to make and never fails. People are starting to believe I can cook....
