Quick - get this book!
"Christmas Miniatures - finger food and tiny treats" by Australian Women's Weekly (who have long been renowned for publishing great cookbooks) is a lovely little book which I urge you to buy asap. The sooner you get it the sooner you can start planning what to make as gifts and what to cook for the upcoming festive season; there's lots to choose from.
"Christmas Miniatures" gives over 50 recipes for nibbly treats, mostly sweet but some great savoury cocktail items too. There are, of course, some of the things one would expect in such a book; miniature Christmas puds, a few weeny versions of mince pies, including an Eccles cake version, and chocolatey delights but there are surprises too; Stained Glass Biscotti being one and Gingerbread Christmas Trees another to name just two - lovely presentations. In fact quite a few of these tiny treats are not only good enough to eat they are pretty enough to hang on the tree first.
The book is illustrated with some great photos, one per recipe, so you know what you are aiming for and in the back are some conversion charts and a useful glossary. I shall be sitting down with this book (and a brandy) to make my plans very soon.
