Diane has the most beautiful Rosemary plant and is blessed to live where she can have it growing all year. I love these pictures where she shows the sprigs, how to remove the rosemary and then chop with her hand choper.

When I was flipping through the cookbook I found a lot of recipes names I was already familiar with. So at first glance I thought, this isn't a cookbook worth paying for. It wasn't until I actually read the ingredients with the recipes that I realized that over half or more of the recipes were different than the way I cook them or have eaten them.

I love these mini theme cookbooks by Gooseberry Patch. If they keep adding in fresh recipes and putting a twist on old favorite, I'll keep buying! (In this case I did get the cookbook free on Barnes & Noble but soon it will be for sale at under $3.) You can also get this on Kindle & Apple.
