GORGEOUS CHRISTMAS

Most of us start planning what we will do for Christmas months in advance of the event. In fact, nothing short of gorgeous will do. And here are over a hundred recipes to ensure that it is just that. In keeping with the other titles in the series, they are simple and pared down, conkable and they work, because the last thing we need is to feel flustered or let down. The book spans the days in the run up, the magic of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. There is a chapter on things to make and give, easy hand-me-rounds to have with drinks, recipes for big warming pies, luxurious treats and after dinner choices, as well as lots of ideas for Christmas dinner itself. With chapters on Christmas puddings and baking, trifles and jellies, and with plenty of White Christmas magic thrown in, Annie Bell's fail-safe recipes ensure your Christmas is as gorgeous as anticipated.
