I immediately went out and purchased this book after attending a party in which the hostess presented a beautiful and tasty appetizer buffet using eight different recipes from Season's Greetings. The recipes are all eye appealing, delicious and in most cases easy to make. Recipes also include make-ahead tips. I highly recommend it for the beginner as well as the seasoned hostess.

I bought this book on sale due to the food pictures in thebook. A person who love cooking usually can tell if the author isgood by looking at the pictures of the final product. What attracted me to get this book was her recipe for pick up drumsticks. That is the most simple recipe I had seen for baking up drumpsticks that looked like they were fried. Other ideas in the book are also great and time saving. Our church always having special holiday dinner or special dinner gets together for rivival meeting nights, etc. It is so hard to finds people who are willing to cook for such large audience. This is a life saver for ladies who are in charge of the food for those special occasion, even for a Chinese church. I had already shared some of the recipes with friends at church and they just can't wait to try them out (This also include busy guys who help their wives out with cooking). I highly recommend you to get a copy of this book. END

I have owned this Holiday cookbook for at least 10 years
and it's fantastic. I am now buying a copy for my parents
'cause they are hooked on a couple of recipes and want their own copy.

Not only do I now have all of Marlene Sorosky's books, but I took cooking classes from her for several years prior to her writing. Her main objective was to do ahead so as to enjoy time spent with guests. Accomplished!Marlene Sorosky's Cookery for Entertaining

Season's Greetings is a cookbook for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. It has classics from Roast Turkey and Gravy to fruitcake. It also has unique recipes such as Cranberry Cream Pie, Thai-Inspired Turkey salad to Banana Chocolate Chip Scones. So far I've made the Peach fruitcake and found it quite divine.

I didn't care for this book's layout. Recipes are placed in 3 descending columns, and are slightly difficult to read. I also would prefer more pictures of the various dishes, and at times the recipes didn't seem to fit the particular holiday or seemed rather generic.

Overall, though this was a good book, well worth picking up for the Fruitcake recipe alone.
