What a wonderful cookbook to have on hand during the holidays or to give as a gift. Clear, well written instructions and beautiful photos of each treat. There is a wide variety of foods to make - from cookies to pastries to candy. Each chapter is a different catagory of treats. Though some recipes have many steps, none of the recipes seem too difficult, and can be done by a beginner baker (in part due to the simplicity of the written instructions). Handy measurement conversions are included in the back. The recipes seem to come from around the world and I would have loved for each recipe to give a sentence or two about where it originated from (my personal preference). Would recommend to add to your cookbook collection.

The Christmas Baking Cookbook is a holiday must-have! With 100 delicious, easy-to-follow recipes and creative decorating tips, it transforms any kitchen into a festive wonderland. Perfect for beginners and pros alike, it guarantees joy and irresistible treats all season!

A cookbook that compiles tons of holiday favorites! The first few categories - cookies and cakes, especially, and a little bread - there was not a ton new, which was fine, just noting. Once it got into other categories though there were some interesting sounding recipes that I have never tried before! The directions seemed easy to follow. I do wish every recipe had a picture. There was also once or twice that there was a picture and it didn't match the recipe that followed or was before it, but maybe that was just a formatting thing on my kindle!

This book is perfect for getting you into the mood to bake each holiday season. It is beautifully illustrated with photos, many in a Christmasy setting. There are recipes from various nations and variations that you might not have come across before. For example, I've loved Florentine cookies before, but I don't think I've ever come across a cookie that has almonds, candied citrus peels and dried cherries (or plums) in the recipe. Or Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Raspberry Curls? So many good choices!!

There's more than just cookies, too. Brownies, muffins, breads, buns, cakes, pastries, pies... And a few options for Gluten-Free and Vegan. I've never heard of many of the choices from other nations. I feel like being adventurous. My only suggestion for improvement would be to describe where many of the recipes originated - something like "this recipe is based on a favorite from Spain."

The recipes are not too complicated and the instructions are clear.

I love baking cookbooks and this one is welcome on my cookbook shelf.

The Christmas Baking Cookbook .

A good Christmas cookbook with a large amount of recipes .
Haven't made anything from it yet but it will come into it's own around the festive season.
Going by the format and a few ingredients , it's been done for the American market but can easily be adapted for UK Baking.

Thank you to netgalley for sending me a copy of this book for review. Wow, this cookbook had me drooling over every page. The picture were amazing and the recipes are easy to follow. I will definitely be using a lot of these for the holiday season, I will also be purchasing a copy for myself when it comes out. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to make cozy treats for the holidays.

Have you ever baked something that made you feel such a mouthwatering craving for more that you went right back to the store to get more ingredients? Well I have, this Christmas cookbook has it all! Let me tell you for me it was the Cinnamon Buns recipe that I found in this book, so much better than any store bought or even any others I’ve baked. This recipe is a real game changer and with Christmas coming up I can’t wait to do many more of these recipes from the book! When I say this book has it all I mean it! It has breathtaking pictures of the food, an estimated time that it’ll take you to make the food, it even has a whole backside where it’s nothing but icings and sauces. Overall I can’t recommend this book enough! It’s definitely a personally favorite and will live on forever in my kitchen!

This cookbook of Christmas desserts is massive, and I'm here for it! Several classic desserts, and I love how there are so many I've never heard of. The photos of the treats are fabulous. There even are a couple vegan and gluten free options! I'm so ready to bake some delicious treats this holiday!

Yeees! I was looking for something like this!
I love cookies and until december i will try a few recipes!
A must

What a great book to add to a cookbook collection! I enjoyed getting a preview via Netgalley but will be ordering my own copy for my own home.

There are quite a few recipes that I can't wait to try this holiday season, specifically the peppermint meringues!

Beautiful, elegant, and sophisticated interior. Several recipes for everyday bakers, but there are also several recipes I would classify as more advanced. I look forward to trying a few recipes this holiday season! Most recipes have pictures but a few snuck by without them, which is always a major negative for me. My biggest critique is that while each section had a generic intro paragraph, each recipe itself has no description/notes/text. Several recipes seem to originate from different countries and I would have loved a small informational section to give some background/context.

Thank you NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for the review ecopy!
