You Don't Have to Wait till Christmas to Enjoy this Book

I know it's only May (it's May 11th as I'm writing this) but for reasons I can't explain, I'm in the holiday spirit and feeling that way, I went to my stash of cookbooks and pulled out GIFTS FROM THE CHRISTMAS KITCHEN, because though this book is and was meant to be about goodies you can make in your kitchen and give as a gift on that special day, you can also turn to it for better than excellent deserts, coffee cakes, muffins, scones and so much more. I made the delicious Black Russian Truffles and let me tell you these babies melt in your mouth. They are just oh so good. And what a nice surprise to the end of a meal, I mean anybody can go the market and pick up a tub of rocky road, that doesn't tell whoever you're making dinner for that he's special, but these truffles sure do. This book would be a very nice addition to anybody's cookbook library and if you get can't think of that special gift, it's a good place to turn.

great book

I was so pleased with the book ,the service, avd the way the book was shipped. It was wrapped so well and with care. I was a happy customer, thank you.

Gourmet Made Easy

My copy of this book is dog-eared, wrinkled and caked with flour, sugar and many other splatterings. If you can follow a recipe (written in an easy to understand manner), you can be the star of any get-together... and not just during Christmas! I have tried almost every recipe in this book and in its' partner book, "Best Loved Holiday Recipes", and every single time my finished product looked as good, if not better, than the picture in the book. If you're looking for tried and true WONDERFUL recipes for years to come, buy these books. They're the best cookbooks I've ever had!

Easy & quick recipes!

I made several recipes in the candy making section of the book and they all turned out great! One of my favorites, which also got rave reviews from friends who received some delicious gifts, was the home-made hot cocoa with tiny marshmallows. It is so good that I no longer buy the canned powdered mixes from the store. This recipe puts them all to shame and it only takes 5 minutes to make! This book has so much variety with the different chapters: cookies, candies, breads, main dishes, etc., it would make a fabulous gift for anyone who enjoys cooking; (even if that's only around the holidays). Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Various recipes from simple to more complex

I used this cookbook at my sil's this past weekend when doing our annual cookie marathon. This cookbook has many great recipes and I'm looking forward to trying more in the weeks to come before Christmas. I think it would make a great wedding present as many of the recipes are not just for the holidays.
