Jenny Houle (24 KP) rated Holiday Cookies: Showstopping Recipes to Sweeten the Season in Books

Jan 13, 2018

Received a free copy of this book through NetGalley for an unbiased opinion.

Every single recipe in this cookbook looked so awesome...but it's cookies, so that's hard not to be the case.

My five star review is actually based more on content and layout. The author broke the recipes down into six sections, and explained how and why she divided the recipes as she did. She also included a very useful list of 10 cookie tips and tricks.

I think my favorite part of the cookbook, though, was that each recipe was simple even though some looked more complicated. There were very few of the 50 cookie recipes that required ingredients that weren't relatively standard in a household. And she included an icing recipe and tips on how to best store cookies so that they are preserved well for a later time.

Highly recommended for both new and longtime campers!

This book was so much fun! So much more than just a cookbook, it had everything from healthy, delicious looking recipes to tips on virtually every aspect of camping! As an avid longtime (& sometimes full-time) camper myself it was great to see so many little helpful tidbits for those just heading out into the woods as well as some awesome ideas for our next trip out.

So much more informative than any camping cookbook I've seen - Humourous and inspirational stories and tidbits like 12 different ways to make a s'more and a huge list of delicious sounding pancake toppers. Helpful tips about foraging, pets, wildlife, fun illustrations, even car games & fun for the kids!

Fabulous book and beautiful cover - Highly recommended for both new and longtime campers!
