I'm not afraid to admit to being a serial purchaser of Jenny's books, but somehow I missed out on the contents of this box set when they came out individually. Although I'm in the UK, so no fancy Thanksgiving turkey for me, Christmas isn't that far away, and that's when we Brits stuff OUR faces with the gobbling bird - and as a household we always have leftovers. The first part of this book deals with that fantastically - last year I made a bearable turkey chowder, but this year the family will feast on so much more - Open Turkey Pancakes, Turkey Pepper & Butter Bean Toasties and so much more.And then onwards to part two! 31 Cakes From Scratch - although simple and straightforward to follow, I'm not great at cakes, but I will tackle Hayley's Raspberry Cheesecakes :)Part three is another cracker - 30 Great Recipes with 15 Dinner Menus for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day & Easter. Another fine tome, with plenty of mouthwatering recipes. Despite me writing this review before breakfast, I can't get Perfect Pork and Crispy Crackling with Homemade Pesto out of my mind - I know what we are having for Sunday lunch this week! Plenty of other wonderful ideas for all three courses in this book, and I especially like the menus, which perfectly match starters, mains and desserts for that special occasion.I suppose I had better go and get myself a bowl of cereal for breakfast now - ho hum - I would certainly prefer something from Jenny's kitchen!
