This book is so festive and fun. The recipes in this book are unique and creative, and would be great for a holiday party. The photos are whimsical and festive, and got me excited for the holiday series. While these recipes would be great for Christmastime, they could also be used other times throughout the year. I really enjoyed the festive tips throughout, and felt they were a nice touch to the book. I would recommend this book.

This is a fun book of some Christmas recipes. I like the variety of choices and the "new and improved" approach to some of the common recipes we all make during the holiday season. I would say it is taking our parents and grandparents classic recipes and giving them an excellent modern upgrade.

And the font in this book is awesome. That really drew my eye and I found it very easy to read. The pictures are very vibrant and eye-catching. I'm so hungry now!

Like a little Hallmark Christmas Recipe book! (has this been done? If not, let's hope someone jumps on that idea!) - gives all the Christmas vibes with every page having a cute seasonal motif, The recipes are simple. Fun. Some with an holiday theme: like Rudolph's Reindeer Burgers (so cute).
From apps to sweets, this little book is packed full of festive recipes! Including a spiced baked apple cider donut recipe that is WOW.
5/5 BUY

Tons of great recipes in here that sound delicious! This book will be pulled out this holiday season for sure- I've already made a note of the recipes I want to try most. Also, the sidebars were great

When I see "cosy" in the title, I jump right in. In case of this cookbook cosy means mainly that the recipes are familiar and relatively easy, which would help in recreating a perfect Christmas atmosphere. I really enjoyed fun puns in the names of the dishes, however I wish all of the recipes had photos and some here didn't. But the book has very christmas-y and cosy layout, and would be perfect for somebody who wants to make something simple instead of complicated Christmas dishes.

I must admit, I am thrilled to have gotten my hands on this book! As someone from another country, I make an effort to cook American meals for my husband. However, my attempts to Americanize dishes from my own culture have not always been successful.

Upon first glance, the book appears quite festive, and I am already excited about the meal ideas it contains. Several appetizers, main courses, and baked goods have already caught my eye! The photos are lovely, and the layout is easy to navigate. The recipes are straightforward and seem quite simple to follow. Measurements are provided in cups or spoons, with metric system measurements included for more experienced cooks. Baking and cooking instructions are given in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

I can't wait to get a hard copy!

I hope that every home-cook will have this book on their bookshelf by December first! The book is full of Christmas spirit from the first page with aesthetically pleasing pages and easy to follow recipes most of which have photos to accompany them. It offers fantastic ideas for Christmas entertaining, I especially loved the punny names for the recipes & the handy festive tips.
This book would be a wonderful addition for cooks of all ages.
