If a photo is worth a thousand words, some in this cookbook are worth a thousand calories. Yummy!
I was drooling as I flipped through the salads and pasta, but the desserts--that's where I stopped.
The Strawberry Chocolate Trifle would make any challenging mother-in-law take notice. The White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies were such an usual combination I will have to try them myself.
The cookbook contains other amazing recipes and photos throughout:
-- Appetizers and soups
-- Main dishes and salads (need to eat so you earn dessert)
-- Side dishes
-- Brunch (great Bacon and Herb Breakfast Bake that is a bake-ahead dish)
-- Sweet treats (need I say more?)
-- Drinks
The easy-to-make recipes and the fabulous photography will entice even the novice cook to make things out of The Essential Christmas Cookbook. What a great gift it would be to that novice or even very seasoned (pardon the pun) cook!
