5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas with Southern Living Cookbook, June 26, 2000

By A Customer

This book has so many wonderful recipes. Deciding which ones to use is the hard part. I love to use these recipes year round. They are all very original and tasty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Polish the silver, set out the best china, light the candles, July 11, 2002

By	R. Tiedemann "Sunnye" (Bellevue, NE USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's Christmas...all through this book. I "borrowed" this book a couple of years ago and finally returned it, but only after buying my own copy!

Southern Living puts out the best cookbooks. The recipes are tried and true, easy to follow and, always, delicious.

In Santa's Bakeshop you'll find Fresh Lemon Muffins, Gumdrop Wreath Bread, and Herb Buttered Crescents. My family loves Cheesy Pretzel Rolls, which fast became a classic when I first found the recipe.

The Cream-filled Chocolate Cake on page 64 became a staple for birthdays in our house, so it gets a workout more than once a year.

Chapter titles are as festive as the season: Merry Munchies, Visions of Sugarplums, Elfin Delights (full of treats for the children like Santa Claus Cupcakes), Frosty Fixings and Making a List, to name a few.

Although there are appetizers and some sandwiches (like Peanut Butter Candy Cane sandwiches for the kids), the emphasis here is on sweets -- drinks, cookies, cakes, breads and candies -- so don't buy this one if you're looking for entrees or vegetable dishes.

The book is gorgeous. Illustrations are Christmasy and colorful photographs that are as appetizing as the recipes. As usual, with a Southern Living Cookbook you can't go wrong.

This review is from: Christmas With Southern Living Cookbook (Hardcover)

I bought this cookbook for my daughter for Christmas and am now going to buy one for myself. Unfortunately, I am not an avid cook so I enjoy pictures. This cookbook has plenty of good recipes with great pictures!
