My Review:
Who doesn’t love some Holiday baking? The house fills up with the smells of cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate. I can smell it now and can’t wait to start baking for Christmas.
Baking for the holidays has some tried and true Holiday favorites and some fun new recipes that I haven’t yet tried.
Burnt Honey Buttercream, Lemon Pull-Apart Bread, Nutella Star Bread (this looks beautiful!), Hot Chocolate Cake, Frozen Bon-Bons, no churn Ice Cream and this cool new idea – Cruffins! A cross between and Croissant and a Muffin. O-M-G!
Every recipe in this books is a make from scratch. Some recipes are really easy, others you may need to read a couple of times to make sure you understand the process. But I promise you, you will not be disappointed if you pick up this Cookbook!
For the recipes that will take a bit of extra time, Kieffer does an excellent job of making easy to read directions to simply the process for the baker, as much as possible.
A great cookbook for every household that loves to wake up to the smell of holiday baking! YUM!
