Everyone knows Betty Crocker has been up to cooking great things in the kitchen for years. This book lives up to their standards. The book is laid out well, and has pictures with most recipes. The book gives you great ideas into turning standard things into special Holiday treats. So many of the ideas are so versitile you can use them all year around.

The book has several sections with party foods, main dishes, side dishes, baked good, and a great section full of Children's recipes that you are bound to enjoy.

Okay...so I needed another book to reach $100 for free shipping and I like to cook and bake...but I didn't want a cookbook. Honest! But I figured this would be good and I could use it for a present. Turns out it's a present for me! The recipes look great. The pictures make your mouth water. And, if you need to make appetizers and want something different the Cream Cheese Penguins are absolutely irresistable; they're also fast & easy to make and delicious. From holiday drinks to appetizers to vegetables to entrees to desserts, the book is a gem! You'll get seriously hungry looking through it. Worse, if you're not in the mood to cook, you'll find yourself eager to get into the kitchen and get to work. For yourself or as a gift to a friend who likes to cook, you won't be disappointed with Betty Crocker's Best Christmas Cookbook!

I would be lost come holiday time if I didn't have this cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and simple. I use it for the year-end holidays. It has great gift ideas that I have used many times. Not only are the recipes easy, but everyone who has tried any of the recipes loves them. This book is a must for the holidays.

This is one of the best Christmas cookbooks I have seen, and I collect cookbooks! There are many wonderful recipes, plus great dinner menus and party suggestions!

Some of my friends give me strange looks for having a "Christmas" cookbook in my kitchen all year round, that is until they sample some of the things that I have made out of it! Many of the cookies in this book lend themselves particularly well to being assembled into food gifts for the holidays.

This extraordinary hardcover book is filled with a variety of crowd-pleasing recipes that are certain to add compliments to your next party. the eight main chapters are:

1. Simple Sippers and Savory Nibbles (AKA drinks and appetizers)
2. Merry Main Dishes (everything from a rib roast to how to roast a goose)
3. Sensational Salads and Sides
4. Fabulous Finales (formal desserts)
5. Holiday Breads
6. Sweet Shop Favorites (cookies and candies)
7. Festive Holiday Fun (more cookies, unsorted recipes, and decorations made of food)
8. Holiday Gifts and Decorations

This is a very beautiful cookbook. I love the photos in it. At the end of the book is recipes you can cook and make for gifts. Toward the front of the book is a "Olive Appetizer Tree" that would be great for parties.

I highly recommend this lovely book.

I'm a big baking fan and I use this cookbook all the time. It has terrific dessert recipes for the holidays.

I LOVED using this cookbook this past holiday season. I made so many things from it, and they all turned out delicious. I received many compliments on the things I made using this recipe book. There are so many fun ideas that I had to restrain myself as I was choosing recipes! Just about every recipe could be used through out the year also. Having this recipe book definately made my Christmas a more fun! I can't wait until next year ;)

This is the first of a series tips. It will be most from my own hand or from someone who will serious contact me and let me know what he or she think about the book or music cd they recommend.

I will start now with the one i like the most. It is the Betty Crocker's New Christmas Cookbook. What in this time of the year with a Christmas Cookbook ?

This is, because i think you can use the recipes in this book the whole year round. For instance i name you the following mouthwatering recipes;

Bourbon balls, Taffy, Peanut Brittle, Popcorn Balls, Brownie Fudge Pie, Banana Bread, Asparagus with Gruyere, Toffee Bars, Spritz, Mocha Macaroons, Florentines, Rum-Raisin Fudge and a lot more of easy to follow recipes. A total of more than 400 recipes and 85 full-color photos. You must see it to believe it.

A really fantastic cookbook, i use it the whole year round.

I love this cookbook! I bought this and the Thanksgiving Cookbook Betty Crocker Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook just before my first holiday season out on my own. It's fantastic! With it, I have impressed my guests every year. It has such a great variety, I find new recipes to try every year. I also go to it throughout the year for various recipes that are great anytime. The Chocolate Chip-Banana Pancakes have since become my boyfriend's favorite pancakes and this is my new standard recipe.
