(More customer reviews)Although the book's main focus is as a cookbook with over 175 recipes, it also includes a small Handmade section with gift ideas along with a chapter to aid in Creating Christmas Memories.
For those unfamiliar with the ongoing series, the books are compilations of favorite recipes sent in by readers. The preparation times and skill levels range from easy to advanced, but the majority of the recipes are created by busy people who effectively squeeze holiday cooking, baking and entertaining into a schedule packed with life's other daily obligations. So, if you want to make crescent rolls or caramels from scratch, recipes are in the book, but so are plenty of recipes that include just a few ingredients, that can be whipped up with little notice or difficulty.
I tried the recipe for Festive Cranberry Salsa and it was delicious with corn chips. The Candied Maple Walnuts were a nice twist on the usual sweet nuts with maple syrup, brown sugar, salt, pepper and cinnamon as main ingredients. And, the Easy Salmon Spread was quick and tasty.
The chapters are Creating Christmas Memories, Cozy Morning Brunch, Simmering Soups and More, Warm & Welcoming Suppers, Farmhouse Christmas Dinner, Old-Fashioned Desserts, Cookie Jar Classics, Homemade Sweets to Share, Gathering with Friends and Handmade from the Heart. There are no photographs, but there are charming illustrations. The paper will unfortunately absorb spills, so using a cookbook holder would be a good idea if that is a concern. The spiral binding is ideal for keeping the book open on any page.
This book is a good gift for someone with little time to cook or prepare for the holidays, along with the fans of the series.
