Review
You can always rely on a Mary Berry book, and her latest is set to become a Christmas classic. It's packed with over 100 recipes, ideas and handy tips for a trouble-free festive season, and includes something for everyone... There are sections on everything you could possibly need... We found the shopping lists and clearly laid out countdowns particularly useful - perfect if your Christmas is always a little rushed, or it's your first time in charge. -- Fresh 20061201 Mary Berry's Christmas Collection"... does exactly what it says on the cover.Berry is Queen of the Aga, but you don't have to own one to follow her precisely given instructions on how to prepare an array of tasty seasonal fare from parmesan and pistachio nutters (!) to vodka trifle with cherries and orange, and on to turkey korma - a very moreish way to use up Chrimbo left-overs. -- What's On in London 20061130
Product Description
Known for her practical and unfussy approach to cooking, Mary Berry has finally taken on the trickiest of culinary periods. In Mary Berry's Christmas Collection she combines all her favourite winter recipes with a selection of new mouthwatering dishes to give us not only the time-honoured traditional roast turkey and classic Victorian Christmas cake, but also a variety of new and exciting food ideas for the festive period. Her Gammon with a Mango Salsa, Crunchy Caramelised Onion Salad, yummy Stilton and Pear Crostini or Quail's Eggs in Pastry Cases take the pressure off entertaining whether it's the Boxing Day crowd or a family New Year gathering. With clues on leftovers, buffets, a Christmas Day countdown and a trouble-shooting section, Mary will help solve all your holiday cooking problems. A wonderful seasonal cookery book from the queen of Aga cooking.

If you have Mary Berry's Real Food Fast and Cook Now, Eat Later books do not bother to buy this cookery book. Nearly all the recipes in Mary Berry's Christmas Collection are in these previous books.

A friend introduced me to this book; she had been introduced to it by another friend who again said you simply must have ... It contains simple, uncomplicated and absolutely delicious recipes which I made throughout Christmas. The ingredients were easy to purchase and I liked the fact one could make most of them in advance which is essential when cooking for a houseparty of 16 over 4 days! I strongly recommend this book.

I bought this book as it appeared easy to follow yet provided me with the essential basics for a fantastic Christmas dinner and was not disappointed. Mary Berry gives you uncomplicated recipes that work. They are not just for Christams but throughout the year whether it is how to make the perfectd roast parsnips/potatoes or yorkshire puddings. i got fantastic results first time and didn't have to spend hours sourcing ingredients. I have recently purchased two other books of Mary's and can't wait to receive them.
