a good resource for understanding traditional German customs 4 out of 5 stars.
23 of 23 people found this review helpful.

This is a good resource for understanding the traditional and cultural aspects of German Christmas customs. It details the historical significance of the Christmas tree, decorations, and Father Christmas, identifies how the holiday is celebrated in today's Germany, and even includes recipes and music and lyrics to some popular German carols. The photographs are good and there are step-by-step instructions for building a gingerbread house. This book was listed in the Germany-Travel Section and I expected a more definitive work on traditional arts and crafts such as toy and ornament making. Unfortunately only 4 pages were devoted to this with vague desricptions of where manufacturing occurs. Those interested in German Christmas customs will find this to be an interesting and fact filled book.

An enduring popular holiday cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The Twelve Days Of Christmas Cookbook is an enduring popular holiday cookbook that is now in its eleventh printing and showcasing recipes particularly appropriate for celebrating the religious festival dining celebrations during Christmas Day and the eleven days that follow it and are traditionally considered as "party days" in Christian countries and communities. Each specific day begins with a complete dinner for either dinner or luncheon. A handy Index offers ready access to each and any of these classic recipes so that the experienced kitchen cook can "mix and match" beverages, breads, desserts, hors d'oeuvres, salads, entrees, and even prepare vegetarian mealtime celebrations. A very highly recommended addition to any family cookbook collection, there is an especially useful feature in the form of a comb binding that allows The Twelve Days Of Christmas Cookbook to lay flat upon the kitchen counter.

Authors Ruth Moorman and Lalla Williams share their talents for cooking and entertaining with menu ideas for the holiday season...morning coffees, ladies luncheons, cocktail buffets, midnight breakfasts, Christmas dinners, a party for the Twelfth Night Revelers...150 carefully selected recipes for delightful holiday menus enhancing each of The Twelve Days of Christmas.

tasteless 1 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I tried 2 recipes: the Florentines- which were worse than tasteless, they also spread so much and were so thin/holey, that the chocolate on the back dripped through, making it basically a very unattractive thing.
The 2nd recipe was for lemon wafers: this time I was prepared for a weak cookie so I added half again the lemon zest, AND I added a couple of drops of lemon flavoring....well it was better texture but again it would have been tasteless had I not doctored it up a bit. They were still quite flavorless.

Editorial Review:

From spicy Gingerbread to simple and elegant Biscotti, The Christmas Cookie Book offers up a mouthwatering collection of forty traditional and contemporary cookie recipes. Classics like Sugar Cookies and Spritz make an appearance alongside more modern takes on long-cherished recipes such as French Lemon Wafers and Mahogany-Iced Brown Bears. Baking expert Lou Pappas shares the enchanting history of Christmas cookies and demonstrates which are best for shipping, which are fun to bake with kids, and which make the most elegant cookie-tray displays. With tempting photographs throughout, this book is a joyous celebration of baking, giving, and most importantly, enjoying everyone's favorite Christmastime treat.

A little dissapointed 3 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I was on a waiting list for over a month for this book then it was "lost" by my mail carrier so I had been waiting a while and the anticipation was not met by what was inside.

There is a section on homemade gifts but really nothing new. There is also a big chapter on peoples shared Christmas memories, while sweet it was not what I wanted to pay for. There havent been any recipes in here that I have tried yet so I guesse that its not that memorable of a book.

Get Jolly Hollidays instead, that is an awesome book.

Editorial Review:

A cozy Christmas with family & friends!

It even has a chapter full of heartwarming memories and another of nothing but gift mixes, tasty treats to make & give and holly-jolly crafts. It's sure to be a favorite!

Good Food Good Ideas 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.

I have most of the books in this series and each one is a delight. Full of ideas for making the gifts you give really stand out. When I make something from one of these books I always take the recipe with me.. I know I will be asked for it! The only draw back is that some of the recipes call for several ingredients and unless you have a well stocked pantry it can be a tad costly. However do not let that stop you. These books are a great source of inspitation and ideas.

Wonderful incredible little book with lots of great recipes 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I love fruitcake and have friends that love fruitcake. Once a year during Christmas time when the supplies are all available I make fruitcake for those who enjoy the traditional taste of great fruitcake. I had given my prior books to others and needed to find a new book. This book was incredible. The history of some recipes as well as the ideas as to how to do the recipe better, the recipes themselves in a range of variety and style , all make the book and the options it gives a wonderful book to have in any cook's library. I make my fruitcakes and any breads, muffins, etc. with a non-gluten flour base and this booklet made it easy for me to modify the flour requirements. The book doesn't discuss optional flours; it is just something that I have learned to do and others that I cook for enjoy those optional flours like rice and buckwheat flour. The recipes are excellent. The stories and background information make it an education into a world I knew very little about. I found it very hard to locate a fruitcake book so this book was truly a great gem to find.

Editorial Review:

A charming illustrated gift book that finally pays deserved homage to the fruitcake--with 38 delicious, traditional recipes as well as funny and thoughtful commentary from some of the most revered voices of cooking and literature--Julia Child, James Beard, and Eudora Welty. 30 drawings.
