This is one of the most adorable cookbooks I've ever seen.

I'm always chasing nostalgia when it comes to cookbooks, and this one delivers.

Each page looks like it was created in the 1950s and 60s with kitschy art that is sure to win the heart over everyone who misses Christmas at grandma's house.

The recipes are simple, so it would be excellent for intergenerational cooking. The book also contains US and metric measurements, allowing it to be adored internationally. There is a wide range of recipes, so vegetarians will be happy.

I particularly liked how many of the recipe titles were punny, like "Simply Having a Wonderful Celery Soup". It adds to the coziness of the entire book.

This would be an excellent book to add to any collection. Moreso, this would be an even better gift for anyone who is wanting to add a new cookbook to their home collection.

The Cozy Christmas Cookbook by Taylor Vance isn't your typical Christmas cookbook as the recipes are not recipes you'd normally think about preparing during the holiday season. If you are looking for new recipes to try, you'll probably love the recipes you'll find in this book. For example there's a recipe for Santa's Favorite Strawberry Shortcake. I would have never thought of preparing strawberry shortcake as a Christmas dessert. I might do just that to change up a holiday dessert course this year. I loved the Ho, Ho, Holiday Appetizer Wreath too as it was beautiful and tasty sounding.

Adding to the cozy Christmas feeling was the lovely old-fashioned holiday graphics used to decorate the book pages.


Review written after downloading a temporary electronic book from NetGalley.

I love love love cookbooks. I love being able to see what I want to make, and all of the recipes in here look delicious not to mention festive. I bookmarked quite a few I want to try out.

So many great ideas for Christmas time recipes! I personally can’t wait to try mamas lasagna cups! They look fantastic!

Great Christmas cookbook - more aimed for US market but great there are uk measurements in there too. Loved the festive names of the puddings! Great selection of different cuisines too.

I love the later half of the year!! I love fall, so I'm always ready for Halloween. Also, as a December baby, I am totally obsessed with Christmas. I don't know one person who doesn't like the cozy vibes that Christmas brings and this book also gives me those warm feelings. I cannot wait to utilize this book, the Home for the Holidays Charcuterie board is too cute! Plus, these are recipes are ones that you could make year- round and you're not getting the post-Christmas side eye🤣.

This is such a really lovely cook book. Not only are the recipes festive and wonderful, but they are easy to make and really will add something extra special over the Christmas period. The illustrations are really cute. This is definitely one to buy for the kitchen shelf:)

Ahhhh.. Christmas. I do love Christmas and I do love cooking so this book is right up my alley. 50 Recipes to Rediscover the Magic of the Season and I am ready to start the magic. With so many interesting and tasty recipes this book will be a go to for my Christmas preparations and I may even start experimenting now.

There are some great notes, hints, tips and more to get you going and make your life easier at this stressful time of year. The photos are wonderful and cheery, This is a cosy, cheerful and very festive little book and I am enjoying the festive holiday vibes already. Bring on Christmas.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

This cookbook is good. I haven’t tried any recipes yet but I have found a few that will be perfect for our next Christmas gathering.

I do highly recommend

Interesting and useful book with easy and inspiring recipes for Christmas. Everything we wanted to prepare and didn't know how is now within our reach. This Christmas will be warm, delicious and fragrant with the magical dishes prepared according to Taylor Vance's recipe.
Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book!

I wasn't in the Christmas mood last year, and I'm hoping this isn't the case this year. When I saw this one I was excited. The layout is easy to follow. The pictures are gorgeous. And the names of the recipes are so adorable

I like the format of this Christmas cookbook. It’s cute and colorful with fun Christmas themed foods. It’s a short book, less than a hundred pages long, but I think it would make for a nice gift. There’s a nice, high quality picture for almost every recipe.

I think the recipes were fun, easy ideas that most people could use. It starts with the 12 Appetizers of Christmas, including a fun idea for Nachos Festivo. Why not have nachos at Christmas if you can make them red and green huh?
The Holiday Cheer Funfetti Popcorn would be fun, especially for kids, on a Christmas movie night.
The Rudolph the Reindeer Burgers are adorable.
Feliz Fajitas sounds like the kind of Christmas dinner my husband dreams of.

Other recipes I’m saving:
Fa La La La bean and butternut squash minestrone
Santa’s Sweet Potato Sleighs
Winter Fruit Smoothie
Blueberry coffee cake

I got to read an early ebook edition from NetGalley. Thank you!

This is one of those cookbooks where a publisher takes recipes from a bunch of their previously published books and reformats them into new content. These collections always come off a little strange because they mix very different content. This one combines recipes from a cookbook of acai berry recipes, a food board cookbook, an air fryer cookbook and probably a vegan cookbook, among others. There is a photo for every recipe but in many cases I’m almost positive they are stock photos instead of pictures of that specific recipe. For example, the vegan Mac and cheese photo looks like delicious conventional Mac and cheese and doesn’t look like that made with the particular ingredients in their recipe. No nutritional information is provided. There is cute formatting and the recipes all have cute Christmas themed names.

I read a temporary digital loan of this book for review.

This is the cutest Christmas cookbook i've ever read I loved the festive names on the recipes and the varied ideas for nibbles and party foods as well.
What I liked about the recipes is the simplicity of them, nothing felt out of reach or too difficult for me to make and i love that. That's what Christmas is all about!

Some of the recipes that stood out to me were

Home for the holidays charcuterie
Mamas lasagna cups
Rudolph's reindeer burgers
Have some pumpkin pie creme brulee and do some caroling (what a name!)


I'll definitely be trying those creme brulees! Lovely cookbook with lovely pictures and illustrations

Coming from a large Italian family, cooking is our love language, especially around the holidays. Needless to say, I found this cookbook at the perfect time and cannot wait to make more recipes from it! It's perfect and has something for everyone. Plus, the names are precious. What's not to love? I highly recommend.

This is such a cute collection of holiday recipes, all made with healthier ingredients. I’m super excited to try these out with my family this holiday season—it’s a fun way to bring something festive to the table! There are so many great ideas for Christmas entertaining, from snacks to sweets, so you’re covered for any occasion. I especially loved the funny, pun-filled recipe names and the helpful festive tips throughout. It’s a perfect go-to for anyone looking to celebrate the holidays in a tasty and wholesome way.

*Thank you to NetGalley, Taylor Vance, and Quarto Publishing Group, Rock Point for providing the opportunity to read this eARC in exchange for a review, but all thoughts are my own*

I received a free copy of, The Cozy Christmas Cookbook, by Taylor Vance, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Pancakes, burgers, chicken, soup, meatballs, desert this book has great recipes for Christmas, for the whole family. The recipes look so good.

For anyone who thinks about the holiday season well in advance, here is a book for you. Instead of the blazing sunshine that I have today, I will think of fireplace warmth as I peruse these recipes.

The chapters are a bit whimsically named. For example, one is title Yummy Stocking Stuffer Sides, while another is Deck the Halls with Sips & Sugar.

The recipes seem easy to follow. The illustrations are inspiring. See for example the Ho, Ho Holiday Appetizer Wreath. For another appetizer, consider Santa Suit Button Mushrooms. Keeping with adorable recipe/illustration, see the one for Rudolph’s Reindeer Burgers. A nice looking dessert is the Joyeux Dark Cherry Clafoutis.

All in all, this cookbook teams up the cute and the tasty. It seems perfect for its audience.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is a fun and easy to read Christmas cookbook. The recipes are healthier takes on some of out favorites. I especially enjoyed the names of some of the recipes. I'm Dreaming of a White Chocolate Nog, Comet's corn fritters and Have some pumpkin Pie Crème Brulees and do Some Caroling all look delicious and the names made me chuckle. This would be a very fun cookbook to buy and make with girlfriends or the kids throughout the season.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Having been dreaming of cosy Christmas days lately I didn’t have to think twice about taking a look at this book. There are some really cute recipes to get in the festive spirit, even if some of them aren’t necessarily Christmassy (wouldn’t have expected to see nachos in a xmas cookbook before!) I already have the baked apple cider donuts marked as something I’m going to be trying once autumn comes around.
