5.0 out of 5 starsbeautiful book for the holidays
By Short story lover on December 17, 2008
Format: Paperback
I have several of Diane Morgan's cookbooks, and I have just added The Christmas Table. The book is visually stunning, with gorgeous colored photographs. Even better, it is filled with wonderful recipes, from traditional favorites like prime rib (done here with a salt and garlic crust) to inventive, contemporary offerings (whole roast salmon with farro-herb stuffing). There's a chapter on holiday brunches and another on Christmas gifts from the kitchen. But the real reason I keep buying Diane Morgan's books is because the recipes work! They are well written and easy to follow, and even the most complicated ones are explained clearly. This is a lovely gift to give for the holidays. My lucky sister will be getting one this year.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy new Christmas cookbook
By J G 06 on November 5, 2008
Format: Paperback
The Christmas Table is my new favorite book for holiday entertaining and family dinners. The photography is beautiful and makes any reader want to try so many recipes. My personal favorites are the Whipped Garnet Yams with Pecan Praline Crust (yum!) and Overnight Cinnamon Bread Custard especially for Christmas morning. I recently had a radicchio caesar salad in a restaurant and the recipe in this book is so much better. If you like to cook and want simple, clear recipes with everyday ingredients, you will love this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsthe cristmas table
By Moi says on October 23, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Do not buy this book if you are Sandra Lee aficionado or if you prefer quick and easy recipes that offer convenience, not taste.

I have a number of Diane Morgan's books and I could not wait for Christmas to try new dishes in this book. I love her recipes because they always come out and because following her directions I manage to turn simple ingredients into something wonderful and amazing. For example: roasted carrots and parsnips with fresh dill, p. 102, roast loin of pork stuffed with apricots and dried plums,p. 87. ( Inadvertently I cut the hole for stuffing pork loin with dry fruit a bit too wide, so instead of alternating apricots and plums I used apricot and plum next to each other, followed by plum and apricot and so on, when sliced the pork looked like a work of art, and tasted divine. The only problem- all was gone in one meal, next time I will buy more pork.)

This weekend we are having Short Ribs Bourguignonne. p.98

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Highly recommend!
By DoodL~Love VINE VOICE on January 8, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Excellent, this cookbook is a wonderful resource! The price was amazing, otherwise I'd rather have the coffee table book because it has amazing pictures of the yummy recipes.

The recipes in the book aren't too terribly difficult if you know your way around a cookbook and stove. I'm teaching our kids to cook, and this was a great book to have on hand over the holidays!

Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother good book
By Suzanne Martinson on December 22, 2008
Format: Paperback
As a retired food editor, I certainly didn't need another cookbook, but I purchased this one because I know Diane Morgan does quality, creative work. The recipe for Mocha Pots De Creme is worth the price of the book. I especially like the way Diane drops in helpful "cook's notes," as well as the occasional specific buying tip for ingredients, such as chocolate. Her sense of humor comes through in the menu for "Chrismukkah, the hybrid holiday meal." The leftovers section has a recipe for ham macaroni and cheese -- and its fun photo shows a dish mostly disappeared. I'll be using her menu for Christmas brunch on New Year's Day when my alma mater, the Michigan State Spartans, play in their bowl game. Win or lose the game, the food should be great.

This book was highly recommended by a group of cookbook enthusiasts to which I belong. Lots of great recipes that will probably become part of your "go-to" holiday recipe collection.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat twist on traditional favorites
By Tania Clasen on December 18, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have the author's Thankgiving book and loved it so I had to get the Christmas one. I haven't made any recipes yet but there are a lot of great twists on traditional favorites! The book reads just as easy as her Thanksgiving book.

I did bou this book used and the quality was great and the shipping was much faster than I anticipated!

2.0 out of 5 starsLike the book not the condition of the book

I love the book. However the condition stated on your website was new and it definitely isn't new. The cover has many marks on it and you can tell it is used.

I do understand what people are saying about the recipes in this book being elaborate. They are not, however, hard or hard to follow, quite the opposite. Read more

Many of the recipes are non-traditional, but I already know my family's traditional recipes! I got this book to look for new Christmas recipes. It's great!

The Christmas table was a wonderful Christmas gift! Just one or two of the recipes would have been worth the whole book, but I'm discovering more and more as I have time to read. Read more
