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.
