Summary: Great for Christmas or Any Occasion
Comment: First of all, I think the previous review was too harsh, since it says in the product description that this is gingerbread recipes, and it is not for houses, and that reviewer was dissapointed that it did not have patterns, even though it does have one. If you want a gingerbread house cookbook, by all means, go and buy a gingerbread house book, but don't buy this one for a house, you won't find much help here.
That being said, I love cookbooks that focus on one main ingrediant or base flavor. This book is obviously all gingerbread, and what a great book it is!
It is divided into several chapters;
Great Gingerbread - Which does not contain any recipes, but is a chapter devoted to tips and the main ingrediants in gingerbread.
Gingerbread Classics - Basic gingerbread recipes, six included.
Morning Delights - Gingerbread recipes suitable for breakfast and brunch dishes, six included.
Cookies and Snaps - Self-explanatory, ten recipes included.
Gingerbread Desserts & Cakes - Self-explanatory title again, ten recipes, varying from cakes to cheesecakes, to tarts and crisps.
Gingerbread Accompaniments - Butters and jams to spread on your gingerbread, twelve recipes included, as well as three ice cream recipes.
Gingerbread Houses - Five recipes for dough and icing for gingerbread houses, as well as a pattern. Nothing fancy, but a good basic recipe.
Overall, I really like this book. I always enjoy holiday foods, so this was a must to add to my collection. For the list price, it is very reasonable. The color photos, which I like in cookbooks, are very nice.

Summary: Great gingerbread
Comment: The book is full of all recipes to do with gingerbread. I thought the book had more gingerbread houses in it and I was not happy because it didnt. Only recipes for different kinds of gingerbread. There are no patterns in this book. So I was a bit dissapointed.
