Gooseberry Patch Challenge

What is Gooseberry Patch Challenge (GPC)?

This blog is about my experience of cooking every single recipe out of a cookbook in order. The cookbook that I chose to try is the Gooseberry Patch Country Quick & Easy. I chose this book because it seemed cute in design while also seeming like a good beginner guide to learning how to cook. While learning to cook is an important goal for me in this process, I am also using this cookbook as an opportunity to explore meals that my partner, Richard, and I can enjoy together. 

Some might argue that cooking every recipe out of a cookbook is a bit absurd when the internet exists with so many other options of what I FEEL like eating at the moment. To this, I can only say that this challenge in particular allows me to try new recipes that I would not have tried on my own, and that this challenge has always been a bucket list item for me to cross off. What better time to do things than in the present.

My blog is formatted as the cookbook is: through sections. As well as stars (one through five) by each recipe title as “Richard’s Food Review” of the new meal at hand.

With all this being said, let's get cooking!
