Title: CHRISTMAS COOKING DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!
Review: My favorite cookbook of the year. There's not anything here I don't love or wouldn't tackle. In 400+ pages, Oliver shows how you can be the Christmas host of the season. Want to figure out what will be the centerpiece of your Christmas table? How about a roast goose, roast beef, a jerk ham, porchetta, turkey (with detailed instructions from refrigerator to the table, carving included), turkey wellington, roast chickens with four different flavored butters, or rack of lamb, roast venison, duck---even a rather grand and saucy meatloaf. Seafood is is an elegant choice too with a fish pie stuffed with lobster, or a salmon en croute, a fish curry or salt crust salmon. He's thought of vegetarians and vegans too with a generous collection in both categories. He surrounds the feast with starters (a gorgeous Gravlax with beets, horseradish, vodka & dill), a generous section on potatoes, including balsamic potatoes, which I've already made and urge you to try as well. Oliver is a genius with vegetable sides, and his group here are amongst his best ever. A dark gravy as well as a "get-ahead gravy" can be done in advance along with the cranberry sauce. Yorkshire puds, and savory stuffings make easy work of your turkey, and a generous section for a group of dishes using up leftovers is essential. Toad in the hole is very saucy and intriguing. JAMIE OLIVER'S CHRISTMAS COOKBOOK doesn't let down in the extensive dessert and homemade gifts section. The apple pie has sour cranberries, blood orange, vanilla and cinnamon. It's a drop-dead gorgeous presentation with all the cutout shapes baked into it's lattice top. Banoffee Alaska is a heavenly creation of almond pastry, caramel, bananas & vanilla ice cream. There are gifts to give, such as fudge spiked with whisky & clementine, rocky road with popcorn, nuts, clementine, ginger, sour fruit, & chocolate, limoncello and pear pickle. Other chapters cover ups, bites and handheld nibbles, and a generous selections of holiday drinks. Finally there is an excellent guide to roasting all the meat entrees in this book. Immensely readable, thanks to Jamie's genial tone and explicit instructions.The many gorgeous color photographs both instructional and aspirational, give the holiday season clarity. If all this seems breathless, it doesn't begin to address the comprehensiveness of this superb work. A friend half-heartedly complained that Oliver neglected Christmas breakfast. The book was large and heavy enough without another 28-page section. Besides, it would be churlish to demand anything else. Here is an all-in-one guide to providing the very best feast you can for your family and friends. Give it as a gift, and find a place on your shelf for invaluable advice on getting it on the table for all your holiday seasons to come

Title: Recipes for a Special Christmas Menu
Review: Jamie Oliver's Christmas Cookbook was a spur of the moment purchase since I was planning to host out-of-town guests and wanted to make our meals together special. We have family members who are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan so there was a real possibility that I wouldn't find much in this book. Luckily, I ordered it and was so happy I did! For Christmas Day, we made the Meatloaf, the Pumpkin Puree (which actually calls for butternut squash not pumpkin), the Brussel Sprouts with Chorizo, and the Cranberry Sauce. We added in DF mashed potatoes, GF rosemary rolls, and a variety of desserts to round out the meal. Every one of the items from this cookbook was absolutely delicious and even my very picky 11 year old son declared them all "incredible". My 6 year old niece asked for seconds, and this from a kid who is usually much more interested in playing than eating. My husband remarked today (the day after Christmas) that he would have been happy to have had such a good meal if we'd gone to a restaurant and I agree. Every item was special and delicious and most were easily adapted to our dietary constraints. There were some recipes in this book we couldn't make which utilize cheese as an integral part of the recipe but there were plenty of others that we could make or adapt so that there were plenty of options for our menu. The book I received was converted over from metic measurements for Americans measurements (tablespoons, etc.) so it was easy to use. The meatloaf recipe was beyond amazing with its crisscross covering of crispy smoked bacon and its "gravy" of chicken stock, black currant jam and sun-dried tomato paste. Next time I will double the amount of "gravy" (my term, not Jamie Oliver's) so we'll have more to top the mashed potatoes we made. The roasted fennel in the meatloaf recipe was not something I would have thought we'd like, but we LOVED it as part of the sweet "gravy". I subbed in GF breadcrumbs in the meatloaf and left out the mozzarella cheese and it was still absolutely delicious. Lastly, instead of the ground beef and ground pork mixture it called for, I subbed in ground bison for the beef and mixed it with the ground pork. Again, no problem and probably healthier and tastier - at least for us. We used more marshmallows than Jamie Oliver suggested for the Pumpkin Puree but that's just because for us that's an American tradition which the kids especially look forward to on Christmas and Thanksgiving. The Cranberry Sauce was phenomenal - less sweet than more traditional American cranberry sauce but not too tart. We did add in a little extra maple syrup but it was still a bit tart and a fantastic compliment to the meatloaf and the rest. I highly recommend this book for really interesting Christmas recipes that still fit the bill of being comfort food and yet special at the same time. The recipes would work for Thanksgiving too and I plan to use this book throughout the remaining months of winter in order to expand our menu options, particularly on weekends when we have a bit more time to cook. Although I am an experienced cook, my husband, 14 year old son and brother (with varying degrees of cooking experience) all pitched in on the cooking and found the recipes clear and easy to use. This is not a book for weeknights when everyone is racing to eat dinner, finish up homework and head off to bed but it filled my need for recipes that go beyond the typical holiday fare but that are healthy, delicious and accessible for the home cook.

Review: Comme tous les livres de Jamie Oliver, ce livre donne envie de cuisiner, de rassembler sa famille et ses amis autour d'une tablée. Française réputée bonne cuisinière, j'aime me plonger dans des livres de recettes et les ouvrages de monsieur Oliver tiennent une bonne place dans ma bibliothèque. Dans ce livre de recettes de Noël, on trouve des plats originaux ou plus classiques pour cette période de l'année, à essayer en fait n'importe quand !

Review: Assisti o especial de natal várias vezes e escrevi as receitas na mão, desde então cada ano preparo o peru e o gravy. Mas com o livro posso preparar elas em qualquer época do ano.
