I really enjoy any sort of Christmas cookbook and despite being small and compact, this book is definitely packed full of all the recipes you'll need for the festive season.
The book itself is split into five chapters which are: Christmas Fare, Centrepiece Cakes, Small Cakes and Cookies, Edible Gifts and Leftover Turkey Ideas. There is also a fairly comprehensive introduction and good index at the back.
Each recipe has a full page colour photo, clear instructions as well as details of how many people the dish serves and how much preparation and cooking time you will need. There are some excellent recipes whether you are looking to cook the whole traditional meal or simply making treats for visitors. I thought that the leftover turkey section was an inspired inclusion as many books completely overlook the fact that you're usually left with tons of turkey and nothing to do with it except make sandwiches. If you are a vegetarian or have one in the family, there are only really two main meal options and two salads to choose from. Otherwise, there are recipes for turkey, salmon, beef and lamb. The cakes sections were also packed out and full of goodies that everyone is sure to enjoy.
Overall, whether you are cooking the Christmas meal for the first time or are a pro, this book will definitely give you lots of inspiration and ideas. It's packed full, easy to use and definitely a book I would recommend.
