If you believe in planning ahead...A Countdown to Christmas - An A-Z of Christmas book by author Anna A. Maslin will definitely be your cup of tea. Her book starts off listing the months from January onward giving you suggestions on what to do to prepare for Christmas. The author lists suggestions on when to buy presents, make gifts and purchase Christmas supplies. She also offers recipes to help celebrate the holidays. In fact, she recommends making a Christmas Pudding in June to serve in December. That's what I call advanced planning.One of the drawbacks of her cookbook is the recipes I read were written in metric. That's not going to work well in US kitchens as most US cooks do not use metric for cooking. She also uses Celsius or Gas Mark for baking temperatures. Most US ovens do not use either for baking.Recommend with caveats given.Penmouse
