Christmas Cookbook Review:
Christmas
Cookies Are for Giving: Recipes, Stories and Tips for Making Heartwarming
Gifts
Rebecca Johsnson, Amazon.com Top 5 Reviewer says:
"Christmas Cookies Are For Giving" is filled with cooking advice,
Christmas stories, cookie recipes and inspiration. You will find heirloom
recipes from family and friends, brand-new original recipes, recipes developed
by chefs and even a few recipes from Kristin and Mimi's favorite food
promotion organizations. Some of the traditional recipes date back to
before Mimi and Kristin's ancestors immigrated to the United States. Each
recipe has a full-color photograph to inspire a festive mood and a shopping
trip to buy ingredients! Most of the recipes include ingredients you will
already have in your kitchen, but you might want to go shopping for mason
jars, ribbon and fabric to make the "Cookies in a Jar."
Fall / Autumn Cookbook Reviews:
The
Taste Of The Season: Inspired Recipes for Fall and Winter
Publisher's Weekly says:
"Snowbound home cooks are likely to welcome any inspiration geared
to the season, and Worthington's book serves the purpose well. The author
of The Taste of Summer and Seriously Simple knows cold weather can be
the best excuse to dig into comfort foods too time-consuming or rich for
the rest of the year. Some of her best recipes make the most of complex
flavors that develop slowly in stews and braises: White Bean and Arugula
Stew Gratinée, or Short Ribs with Dried Mushrooms and Fire-Roasted
Tomatoes. Worthington's use of winter ingredients is efficient and at
times inspired, as in Butternut Squash and Chestnut Soup, Autumn Salad
with Persimmons and Pomegranates, and Pumpkin-Chocolate Bread Pudding."
Autumn
from the Heart of the Home
Publisher's Weekly says:
"The recipes, such as Orange Spiced Harvest Stew (with beef, red
wine and vegetables, served in a pumpkin), Roasted Beet Salad with Creamy
& Mild Blue Cheese Dressing, and Cranberry Apple Crisp, take advantage
of the best nature has to offer. Although Branch includes chapters on
Halloween and Thanksgiving, most of her 100 recipes allow readers to make
everyday meals special. "
Halloween:
The Best of Martha Stewart Living
Amazon.com says:
"Halloween books abound, but none is as elegantly spooky or as eerily
opulent as this gorgeous guide from Martha Stewart Living. Set the scene
for the ultimate Halloween party with a magical yard full of pumpkins
glowing with vibrant geometrics and sparkling with Christmas lights...Excellent
directions, full recipes, beautiful photographs, and an extremely detailed
source list should inspire anyone to celebrate All Hallows' Eve with style."
Betty
Crocker Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook
lizzibee says:
"Whether you're a novice, experienced holiday entertainer, vegetarian,
low-carb or whatever, this is a great book! If you're intimidated by hosting
the holiday, this breaks it down for you: from planning to menu to how
far in advance to start preparing each dish and element of the meal. Experienced
cooks can get new ideas for making Thanksgiving more delicious and interesting."
