"Almost as good as being invited over to dinner!"

This cookbook from Debbie Macomber is set up just like any
other cookbook: breakfast, appetizers, soups and salads,
mains, sides, desserts and drinks. The book's filled with
delicious sounding recipes, easy to follow instructions, and
glossy photos. Some of the recipes contain variations on how to make the
dish vegetarian. Many of the recipes contain information on
how to store leftovers and how long those leftovers will
keep. There are also recipes which contain shortcuts such as
puff pastry from the grocer's freezer or crescent rolls.
But DEBBIE MACOMBER'S TABLE is special because it talks
about her family, her book characters, and her life. There's
a section of sample
menus in case everything sounds so delicious you're not
sure where to start. A special recipes list for special
events could be useful for planning purposes. There's also
several gift ideas from special tea blends to gifts in a
jar to holiday baking. DEBBIE MACOMBER'S TABLE is almost as good as being invited
over for a family dinner at the Macomber house -- almost.
