Thanksgiving Dinner: Recipes, Techniques, and Tips for America's Favorite Celebration Review

Thanksgiving Dinner: Recipes, Techniques, and Tips for America's Favorite Celebration
Average Reviews:

This little book is my Thanksgiving Bible, as it were. I have other cookbooks that are designed with the Thanksgiving feast in mind, but only this one has proven to be my "go to" volume, year after year. It provides everything you could possible need, whether you are a novice or an experienced cook--how to prep and cook the bird (including a very helpful timetable, broken down by bird size and stuffed vs. unstuffed cooking times), how to plan a meal for various group sizes from family size to "oh my God, what was I thinking when I invited all these people" size, and recipes for all sorts of appetizers, starter courses, sidedishes, gravies, relishes, breads and desserts--more than you could ever need or want. Some of the recipes I'm asked about year after year have come from this one under-appreciated slim volume. Find a copy; it'll be worth every penny.

The Martha Stewart Living Christmas Cookbook Review

The Martha Stewart Living Christmas Cookbook

I have read this newly-published cookbook from cover to cover today and I LOVE IT! It's not surprising Martha Stewart could put together a collection of recipes representing the Christmas holiday. Some cookbooks only focus on Christmas cookies or only Thanksgiving, but this cookbook highlights sophisticated recipes from drinks (I hadn't seen a Ramos Gin Fizz in a cookbook ever!) to entrees and of course, desserts. Sure, there are only so many things you can do with cranberries, chestnuts, hazelnuts, and pumpkins, but these are not tired, redone recipes just so she could publish yet another cookbook. This book is polished, much like the format of her h'ors d'oeuvres book. Beautiful photographs, great recipes. Anyone who loves cooking during the Christmas holidays, and not just bake cookies, will definitely love this cookbook!
