Review: I love baking for Christmas! The smells and joy it brings makes the season even better. I love trying out new recipes to surprise my family with so I was really excited to get this cookbook.
There is an introduction in the beginning of this cookbook to give you some background information and some tips before you get into the wonderful recipes. There is also a section in the back that tells you where you can get different ingredients that may not be as common.
I love that these recipes are different than all the other cookbooks I have already. Her ideas are fresh and wonderful. With color pictures for the recipes, you can really get a feel for the cookies before you even begin.
I love that there is a recipe and template for a gingerbread house! I love making them but I always end up having to buy the prepackaged kit because I can never get the detentions right. I know I could probably just get something off the internet for a template but I’m too lazy for that! Now I have one right in my handy little cookbook!
There is even a 3-D Christmas tree recipe! I mean, come on! This cookbook is awesome and I know I will use this a TON this Christmas season.
