I know it's crazy to buy a book for a single pattern, but that's what I did: when I saw the adorable felted Dracula Candy Bowl I simply had to have it. I'm happy to say that this little book is full of creative, easy family projects all oriented toward Halloween.
Having a Halloween party? once you've seen the PB & J skull sandwiches and the cupcake graveyard, your menu will take shape. Need to embellish yourself or somebody else for trick-or-treating? the tulle and lace tutu is too cute for words, and so are the creative jewelry projects, especially the vampire bite necklace and spider earrings. And oh, the ruby slippers! a pair of dressy shoes, spray glue and red glitter...it's a fashion statement every woman should make at least once in her life.
The book is well laid out and the projects use readily available materials and ingredients. Most require adult skills or at least supervision, but you can truly turn the kids loose on a few of them.
My only negative comment about "Witch Craft" is that the typeface is very small, and some hints and tips are in a positively minuscule font or set against a colored background. For many of the projects the directions are fairly general so it's OK, but I'm going to have to copy and enlarge the line-by-line knitting directions for the Dracula bowl. Not an insurmountable problem, but worth noting.

Certainly worth the small cost, so three stars. But I was disappointed in the number of recipes that have no photograph of the finished item. Given the topic of this cookbook, a photograph of every recipe would have made the book more useful and fun to flip through. For those recipes with no picture and a humorous name, you need to read the recipe to find out what it is. But there are some fun ideas and largely the recipes seem easy enough.

What a fun and enjoyable book!!! The recipes are so varied and easy to follow. The pictures of the recipes are outstanding. I have truly enjoyed the Honey-Pecan Chicken. It reminds me so of a now closed restaurant in the St. Louis area. The creamy tomato soup is so simple to make and oh so tasty!!!! The sweet potato soup and pumpkin chowder are absolutely wonderful and warming to make. The overnight cherry oatmeal doubled as a dessert at our house and everyone was so amazed and how simple and easy it was to make and it tasted wonderful. My uncle put some whipping cream on top and let it melt down and truly enjoyed himself. I would really recommend this wonderful Gooseberry Patch cookbook to anyone's collection.
