Al Roker's Hassle-Free Holiday Cookbook: More Than 125 Recipes for Family Celebrations All Year Long

Wonderful cookbook, with an eclectic collection of tempting recipes! Warmly written, with descriptions of why the recipes are special -- and clearly written, precise recipes to virtually guarantee success. As a bonus, personal words from a respected TV personality interspersing a little about himself and his family. Everything I love in a cookbook; highest recommendation

Al is one of my favorite Food TV personalities. I particularly love ot watch his Colonial Christmas special every year, especially seeing the old fat Al trying on pilgrim clothes. This book is filled with excellent recipes as well as Al's wit and wisdom for celebrations. It contains a collection of Al's best-loved, tried-and-true recipes for every holiday in the calendar year. So for those of you who don't know what to serve for the holidays, Al has some solutions to help you celebrate the season. Recipes like a Rum Glazed baked ham, Bourbon Balls, Whiskey Bread Pudding, Chocolate Mousse and more. Al covers all the holidays from Christmas to Halloween, to a St. Patricks Day feast with all the recipe details, tips, and Al's enthusiastic humor. As much fun to read as the recipes are to eat!

The cookbook is full of recipes. They're an eccentric group of recipes. They're easy to follow and the photos are beautiful. Roker even gives little tips like using pretzels as toothpicks.
