Southern Living Our Best Christmas Recipies

A reader from Philadelphia wrote, "This is the one cookbook in my collection (of at least 50 others) that gets the most usage! I loved it so much that I gave this cookbook as a gift to my sister (a caterer) and aunt (who entertains quite a bit)! This is by far my FAVORITE cookbook (and theirs)! The recipes are easy to follow and well laid out. They offer many different meal plan suggestions and the ingredients are easy to find. The Chocolate Mousse Au Grand Marnier is sinfully delicious! Everything that the three of us have made from this cookbook receives RAVE reviews! (i.e. Chicken Alouette, Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes, Holiday Banana Bread, Streusel-Topped Sweet Potato Casserole, Mushroom Roll-ups, etc.)"

Betty Crocker's New Christmas Cookbook

A reader from Lynn, MA wrote, "I would be lost come holiday time if I didn't have this cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and simple. I use it for the year-end holidays. It has great gift ideas that I have used many times. Not only are the recipes easy, but everyone who has tried any of the recipes loves them. This book is a must for the holidays."
