"If you would like to set about making your own (untroubled) Christmas memories, the eminently collectible Christmas Sweets is a good place to start. This delectable keepsake from Chronicle Books contains recipes, decorations, and gift ideas concocted by Georgeanne Brennan, photographed by Richard G. Jung, and artfully brought together by Jennifer Barry. Ms. Brennan's recipes inject reality into the fantasy of the season." The New York Times, Dec. 16, 2007
"Ms. Brennan's recipes inject reality into the fantasy of the season. 'Many people do not like the bright red, green and yellow candied or glaceed fruits found in fruitcake,' she wrote. Her updated recipe for Bite-Sized Dark Rum Fruitcakes replaces the citron with dried apricots, dates, currants and raisins: problem solved." &mdashThe New York Times, December 16, 2008

Dissapointing,
This review is from: Christmas Sweets: 65 Festive Recipes - Table Decorations - Sweet Gift Ideas (Hardcover)
I am a cookbook addict. I bought this to give as a gift from another source. When I flipped through the book, I decided not to gift this, because I didn't even like several of the photos of Christmas cookies, etc. I just found the book to be uninspiring.
Happy Shopping!

I tried one recipe from this book, Turkish Delights that was a complete waste. It required liquid pectin which was difficult to find. I followed the directions exactly and was very disappointed when the mixture never set. It remained like liquid jello. Not good, I tossed it out.
Needless to say I will not be trying any other recipes from this book.
