Stocking Stuffer Cook Book
This book has the essence of a Christmas kitchen. As you thumb through the recipes you recall being in Grandma's kitchen baking Christmas cookies for quests and parties. The recipes are simple to follow, plus mouth watering. Ingredients are items you already have in your kitchen to bake and make your home have the wonderful aroma of fresh cookies right out of the oven. Another great thing about this book is it's size.It is compact enough to fit in a Christmas Stocking for the Favorite Cook in your family or friend. The recipes can be used all year round, and not just at the Holidays.We have enjoyed the variety of recipes and I know your friends and family will enjoy your practicing making the tasteful treats.

An enduring popular holiday cookbook
The Twelve Days Of Christmas Cookbook is an enduring popular holiday cookbook that is now in its eleventh printing and showcasing recipes particularly appropriate for celebrating the religious festival dining celebrations during Christmas Day and the eleven days that follow it and are traditionally considered as "party days" in Christian countries and communities. Each specific day begins with a complete dinner for either dinner or luncheon. A handy Index offers ready access to each and any of these classic recipes so that the experienced kitchen cook can "mix and match" beverages, breads, desserts, hors d'oeuvres, salads, entrees, and even prepare vegetarian mealtime celebrations. A very highly recommended addition to any family cookbook collection, there is an especially useful feature in the form of a comb binding that allows The Twelve Days Of Christmas Cookbook to lay flat upon the kitchen counter. ...

Wonderful addition to your Christmas library
There are two things that really captured my attention in this book, one is the simplicity of the recipes and two is the presentation of the final dish.The pictures in this book made me want to try the recipes rightaway.I enjoyed reading this book in July and I know it will be invaluablefor that HUGE family dinner on December 25 (what possessed me tovolunteer? ), not to mention bake sales, kids' school parties, and holidayentertaining. It's terrific!

Charming, succinct and comprehensive
The previous review is ludicrous!I'm amazed that the reviewer thought the smaller size of the book (6 x 6) automatically devalued its contents, and that its charcoal drawings are somehow undesirable.This book is wonderful (and I have over 600 cookbooks, so I believe I am qualified to comment).Visually, historically, and practically speaking, you will enjoy owning and using it.It makes me angry when I think that the previous review may have prevented someone from buying this book--a lot of love and care obviously went into it.

Not what I thought
It's my own fault for not checking the size of this book before I bought it. I was hoping for a usuable cook book but this is more like a coffee table decoration. Fortunatly this is a gift from my 5 yr old and this person has coffee table-type books lying around. The pictures are all like charcoal sketches. It's ok but I probably wouldn't spend $10 again. ...

Spirit of Christmas
This one was okay, but I was not too impressed because it was a 2003 edition.Some good recipes included and that helped.

Great book, Great Buy!

Best Christmas Cookbook I've ever read!!!!!!!

Mostly foolproof traditions...
Many of the recipes in the Christmas Memories Cookbook have become family Holiday traditions in our family.I'd pay twice the price of this book for the Cranberry Pear Relish recipe alone, though I now have to make four recipes' worth in order to have some left over for my own family, once we've given out jars as gifts to all the extended family and friends who beg for it every year!This book has all the recipes anyone could need for the entire Holiday season, including ideas for dealing with an overabundance of leftovers.
Classic yet not overwhelming
My reason for attempting to purchase this incredible cookbook is because my old copy is so spattered and worn out that I am afraid of losing it to the elements.Being the mother of 4 young children, I find this book'smany simple but spectacular recipes (Phyllo Wrapped Tenderloin)to be anincredible inspiration; not only to my holiday cooking but to our everdaylives as well.The simplest additions, such as Madeira sauce, graviesand orange sauce for Duck are demystified, delicious and can usually bemade by what's available in your kitchen.No fail desserts includevarious and a myriad of cookies:cookie-cutter butter cookies(the kidslove this one!), pumpkin cookies, pfeffernuesse, anise cut-outs and manymore. Traditional favorites such as Buche de Noel, the much dreadedFruitcake, various Mousses and let's not forget the best EggNog I have evermade, all serve up as a refreshing yet familiar addition to our table. Finally, many of the appetizers are recognizable but are a wonderfulsurprise; like an old friend that you didn't expect to run into.SpinachSpread, Pates, Pesto Layered Torte and Baked Brie are just a few of the fewpopular items that can be made ahead and frozen.Also, a way to useHoliday leftovers is very cleverly presented; Turkey Enchiladas and TurkeyCroquettes with Cranberry are my families favorites.For those of uscreating our own traditions, this book is a terrific support and a treat aswell.I know that someday my children will phone me and ask for thatrecipe for "Stuffed Filet of Beef" or "Candy CaneCookies".In the author's own words, this book is "elegant butnot initmidating". ...
