Product Description

Product Description
The Good Food Team and their favourite celebrity chefs have been planning and cooking Christmas for their readers for fifteen very successful years. This book, which represents amazingly good value at GBP7.99 for the paperback, is the culmination of all that experience and the definitive guide to seasonal cooking and entertaining over this most important time of the year. Full of tips and secrets to ensure that every dish is a rip-roaring success, the cook will be relaxed in the knowledge that all the dishes are practical and easy to follow. Time is of short supply during the festive season so the book shows the reader what can be done ahead, what can be frozen and how to cheat successfully when the chips are down. Readers will find over 80 festive recipes, all photographed, and features also include the complete Christmas day feast with timeplan, and guest contributions from all the top chefs.

3.0 out of 5 stars `Old' book in a new dust jacket (for illustrative purposes only, as the pictured `mini iced cake recipe' is not in the book)!, 27 Sep 2006
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Worth checking that this doesn't already appear on your bookshelf, as this is an old book with a nice new dust-jacket - underneath is the somewhat dated looking original gold cover, hence the make-over, I guess!

Having said that it is a useful compilation of 80+ festive, tried and tested recipes from celebrity chefs, food writers, and the team at BBC `Good Food' Magazine, (recipes previously published in the Magazine) - `every Christmas recipe you'll need from canapés to Christmas Cake.'

144 high quality, shiny pages split over 7 main chapters:-

Get a Head Start for Christmas
Easy Entertaining
Christmas Day Lunch
Not the Christmas Turkey
Vegetarian Christmas Crackers
Other Fabulous Desserts
Decorating the Cake

Along with an introduction, a `Christmas Made Easy' planner, an index and a `Christmas by Mail Order section`, (the book is now over two years old, so this information may have changed) and a 2-page time-plan.

Each recipe has a timing and an ingredients list with a clear step-by-step method, interspersed with `alternatives' and useful tips, along with `chefs' serving suggestions'.


Festive photography throughout, although the `step-by-step photographs, to help you get the best results', are fewer that this text implies.

The rear cover has an alphabetical list of all the contributors, including Darina Allen, Raymond Blanc, Antonio Carluccio, Ainsley Harriott, James Martin, Nick Nairn, Gordon Ramsay, Rick Stein and Gregg Wallace.
Mary Cadogan, the editor, `is a food writer with a wealth of experience in many areas of the food world.'

Some Favourite Recipes:-
Mary Berry's Christmas Chutney
James Martin's Bean & Ham Hock Soup
Ross Burden's Bourbon & Maple-Glazed Ham
Tony Tobin's Pork & Parsnip Cobbler
Moyra Fraser's Venison in Beer with Drunken Prunes
Phil Vickery's Chocolate Torte
Jeni Wright's Satay Shots
Gordon Ramsay's Cream of Cauliflower Soup with Sautéed Wild Mushrooms
Raymond Blanc's Chestnut Stuffing
Ainsley Harriott's Spice-Roasted Butternut Squash

and

Mary Cadogan's Prepare-Ahead Supper:-
`An excellent Boxing Day buffet when everyone is turkeyed out. It's full of lively & exotic flavours you can prepare ahead of time and chill, or even freeze, the lamb and dessert.
All that's required on the night is a little light garnishing.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, buy it!, 5 Jan 2006
I bought 2 books for Christmas this year as it was my first year cooking for the family, the other was Delia Smith's Christmas.
By far this was the better book, with a wonderful collection of tasty dishes. It guides you though the recipies step by step with pictures. It covers all aspects of Christmas cooking (not just the turkey - athough it has a really easy guide to preparing and cooking your turkey, which is great if you are a novice like me!) there's everything... Christmas nibbles, starters, soups, meats, vegetarian, yummy puds and even has hints on decorating your Christmas table!

There's lots of things that you can prepare ahead and freeze for a slightly more relaxing Chritmas, without being chained to the stove!
