The Martha Stewart Living Christmas Cookbook: A Collection of Favorite Holiday Recipes

Although this was a used book it was in excellent condition. I was not embarrassed to give it for a Christmas gift.

Christmas is about family traditions, and holiday entertaining-- and a lot about fun and food.

I WAS ABLE TO GET MY DINNER TO COEM OUT ALL AT THE SAME TIEM BY FOLLOWING HER ECIPES AND ISNTRUCTIONS SHES GOOD!!!

After Martha Stewart went to prison, I guessed that perhaps the price of her books would go down due to lack of demand for them. I bought two of these books as Christmas gifts for relatives, because I have always admired her work and presentation qualities. In ordering them as gifts, considering her past work, I felt safe in assuming that my relatives would be pleased with them. They were! I know I got two fantastic bargains. I have heard a lot of negative things about Stewart as a person, but her work is top-rate regardless of her personality traits. Even if you never make any of the recipes, the pictures are great to look at and the recipes are fun to read.

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!
