As a long-time Gooseberry fan, I was thrilled to see this chicken cookbook in Kindle format.  I was even happier to see the mix of recipes in it.Many people choose Gooseberry recipes for two reasons:  (1) They'll turn out delicious, every time, and (2) They're usually pretty easy, using convenience foods (canned soups, packaged crackers, etc.).However, Gooseberry has also kept up with the times.  Many of these chicken recipes are the kinds of meals you can put together quickly, after a long day.  Lots of recipes in this cookbook are more "made from scratch" meals, though I can see ways to replace many ingredients with convenience items, like pre-made pie shells instead of from-scratch pie shells.If your family likes comfort-food meals, this cookbook is a must-own.  While a few of the recipes are spicy and a little daring, most are the great, home cooked meals people really want at the end of the day.This cookbook provides a wide range of recipes.  I'm pretty sure everyone will find at least four or five recipes that'll make this book a smart purchase.  And, a bunch of them will work for once-a-month (freezer meal) cooking.For Gooseberry fans like me, almost every recipe triggers an instant response, "Ooh, I'll have to try that!"
