Review
Although this book has some great ideas, I don't find it very helpful for newlyweds just beginning on the journey to a new life, whom may need some simple recipes for starting out. These can be complicated at times. The name and a few recipes referring to candlelight meals you may wish to take time to do is about the only thing that puts this book into the gift category if anyone is looking for that special cookbook to give to Newlyweds. I also recommend "Honeymooner's Cookbook" and it's a more practical approach for newlyweds because the recipes are quite simple yet some very elegant to serve by candlelight. Also it has special features such as a cute recipe pocket & tabbed dividers that are simply pretty, tons of tips too on the back of each one to make things a little easier around the kitchen and whole house. With a nice custom designed cover, even a Wedding bouquet on the back cover, I would suggest it along with this cookbook or by itself.

I am an avid, but amateur chef and am getting married in Fall 05. I've looked at a number of bride-groom cookbooks. So far, my favorite is NOT ON LOVE ALONE by Jessie Carry Saunders. It has a friendlier, more intimate tone than any of the others -- it feels like something written by a bride for other brides.
It has a friendly, appealing feel, like the author is in the kitchen with you, telling you stories about the recipes as she teaches you how to make them. Also, it's just a higher quality book -- it's a hard cover, the pages are nice and thick, and the watercolor illustrations on every page make the book seem like something you could display on your coffee table as easily as you could use it in the kitchen.
If you want a good cookbook, any of the various newlywed cookbooks will work fine. If you want an excellent present for a wedding or a bridal shower, my recommendation is NOT ON LOVE ALONE.
