“Good food and generosity – what a wonderful, immediately appealing premise for a cookbook! Tempting is hardly a sufficient word for them, and Alison Shaw’s photographs are feasts for the eye.”

“What gift demonstrates generosity, care, and love more than one that is made by hand? And surely no homemade gift is more appreciated by its recipients than one that is edible. That’s especially true when it’s as pretty to look at and delectable to eat as the ones in Dinah Corley’s sumptuous and practical Gourmet Gifts.”
