Can I Start Using These Recipies Now, Or do I Have to Wait,
By
This review is from: Southern Living Christmas Cookbook (Hardcover)
It's a long time until the holidays but I can't wait. I started flipping through this bookbook and right at the front (page 18) Busy Mom's Super-Quick Supper jumped out at me. Well, I'm not a Mom, but perhaps they will allow me to substitute Busy Dad for Busy Mom. We dads get busy too.
The super-quick supper has Praline Chicken with a preparation time of 5 minutes, and a Coconut-Pecan Chess Pie with a preparation time of 8 minutes. I'm sitting here just imagining the flavor that pralines will add to chicken. Then when you take two things that taste as good as coconuts and pecans and mix them together how can it not be wonderful. Oh well, that'd dinner for tonight. Being a southerner, I then had to go look and see what they had for recipies using grits. They have a garlic-cheese recipie that looks pretty good. My only complaint is that they specify quick-cooking grits. Not good, I'll use high quality stone ground yellow grits from some place like the Old Mill at Guilford (NC) or Bob's Red Mill (Portland, OR). Officially designated at the Christmas cookbook, there are lots of deserts. That's OK, because my circle of friends tends to have lots of pot-lucks, and deserts are definitely in order. Besides the normal cakes and pies, here are some wonderful sounding candies: chocolate-Praline Truffles, Roasted Nut Clusters, Millionaires (sometimes called Turtles), and of course fudge (can it be Christmas without fudge) and Mississippi Mud Brownies. This is a Sunset book, you know what to expect, and you won't be disappointed.

Incredible recipies,

This review is from: Southern Living Christmas Cookbook (Hardcover)
This is one of my favorite cookbooks, it contains many of my favorite deserts such as the Italian cream cake ,Coconut-Chocolate-Almond Cheesecake,Chocolate Truffle Cake,etc.. I also love the fact that the author included lots of color photos giving visual cooks like myself an idea of what the finished product should look like. For those who are tired of making the same boring holiday meals,I would definitely encourage you to buy this cookbook.

Great for Christmas and all year!,
By
This review is from: Southern Living Christmas Cookbook (Hardcover)
This is one of those cookbooks that you really just can't put down. One of these days, I've threatened to start at the beginning of this book and just cook everything until I get to the end! It's quite captivating and the recipes, wow, they're outstanding! I've made so many of them and the reviews, well, there's never any leftovers if that says anything! Southern Living has outstanding cookbooks and this one is just over the top. Highly, highly recommend!
