5.0 out of 5 stars Give handmade offerings from your kitchen., November 25, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Christmas Gifts of Good Taste, 1991 Edition (Hardcover)

This book is another clever and appealing-to-the-eye book from the people at Leisure Arts. What better way to share a bit of yourself at the holiday time than to create something special from your kitchen to give to a special neighbor, co-worker, or friend. The gifts range from interesting canned goods such as Peppermint Marmalade to prebaked items such as Noel Cakes With Orange Sauce. I especially enjoyed making and giving mixes that the recipient can make themselves, such as the Christmas Cookie Crate. This includes a giant canister of the cookie starter with all the fixins' to make Peanut Butter Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Granola Cookies. What will appeal to the reader is not only the wide assortment of delectable recipes, but the ideas for packaging the treats! On the page for Black Bean Soup, the packaging is a small soup pot and ladle, with a plaid scarf tied around the pot. Just the thing to take the edge off winter! Or the box of Christmas Light Cookies inside a box resembling a Christmas light box! These ideas are all extremely easy, though will impress the recipients with the time you spent putting something special together just for them. Enjoy this book, there's enough for many years of "good taste" in it.

One of a series of books put out each year, the 1991 version of Christmas Gifts of Good Taste is a real winner! Featuring delightful recipes with equally delightful names--such as "Snip and Snack Wreath"--the recipes are easy, great-tasting, and fun to both make and give as gifts. Even the cover of the book is a winner, featuring an absolutely wonderful picture of the Christmas Lights cookies, strung on a cord to look like an actual set of tree lights. I wanted to purchase this book since I first heard of it in 1991; took me a few years, but I am glad I did!!!

This book has not only great recipes but great ideas for holiday giving. It's not arts and crafty and has more of an elegant flair. Easy to understand instructions. Highly recommended.
