FOR EVERYONE'S FIRST CHRISTMAS FEAST!

If this is the first Christmas you have actually had to prepare the festive feast, this book is for you. It even tells you what to do with that odd-shaped turkey, like which side is up and which side is down, how to truss the critter up and where the stuffing goes. My son-in-law, who loves to cook but is lacking a lot in patience and aptitude, shocked the heck out of our entire family the first year he married my daughter, by coming to the dining room table with chain saw in hand and commenced to carve the Christmas turkey! Considering my children were raised in a rather conservative, refined environment, this event certainly left many mouths hanging open at the dining room table! How I wish this book had been published about ten years ago. (He is still cooking and basting, by the way, but has traded the chain saw for less ominous utensils.)Like all the "Dummy" books, this one will bring a chuckle or two but at the same time save the reader from making some drastic mistakes when preparing the Christmas feast. For all novices to the Christmas kitchen, this book is for you and worth a five-star rating.
