Summary: Excellent recipes and great brunch ideas!!!!!
Review: Bruch Basket is currently in its 5th printing with over 30,000 copies sold! Including over 600 double-tested recipes, Brunch Basket goes beyond cooking, with a section that shows clever uses of baskets, as well as recipes for edible baskets and entertaining ideas. The artwork on the cover and throughout the book is by local, nationally acclaimed artist Tom Heflin. Brunch Basket has been featured on NBC's "Today Show" and in Good Housekeeping Magazine. It's a MUST-HAVE for cookbook collectors and those who like to cook! (Try the quiche recipe on page 167. It has never failed me!)

Summary: Cookbook Collector
Review: I love to collect cookbooks from all over the country. I have found that Junior League cookbooks contain some of the best recipes highlighting the areas specialties. This is one of the better cookbooks I have bought and not just because of the beautiful artwork. The citrus chicken, spinach pie, and artichoke cheese dip are just a few of the recipes that I have prepared over and over. It is one of the cookbooks I grab when I need a good recipe and not just for brunch. It also contains some great Swedish recipes representing the large Swedish population of the area. A great cookbook for a gift and for yourself and the artwork of Tom Heflin is an added bonus.
