I bought this to have if I needed a spare gift at the holidays, and ended up keeping it. It has a few excellent recipes, but the precious names for everything kind of bug me.

This was a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law, and I am excited to try some of the recipes. This cookbook is just holiday (Thanksgiving through New Years) recipes. I appreciated the baking hints from the author, and the photography made my mouth water.
