Book Reviews of Betty Crocker Christmas Cookbook
Book Review: Using it a lot
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book off amazon not too long ago after I had checked it out at the library and really liked it. The pictures are great. I tried the easy tiramisu dessert- but I made a few substitutions. Don't. It wasn't that great, could be better as the original. The minty middle treasures didn't look anything like the picture. Didn't taste as good as I was hoping, either. My sister made the swedish nuts and liked it. I'll be making the peppermint bon bon brownies and the peppermint swirled cookies. There are just so many to try. Another con is that if you're looking for lighter recipes, this isn't the book. I'm on a small weight loss quest, and these are really fatty and sugary desserts. That's what makes them taste good, though.
Today my sister and I tried to make the Christmas Cottages with graham crackers, and it didn't work. The directions seem silly- they say dip the edges of the cracker in the frosting and it doesn't work. Also graham crackers aren't necessarily level, they have a little bend to them, so the don't stand together well. It's also really hard to cut a graham cracker- we kept breaking them trying to make the peak on the roof.
At any rate, I haven't tried even half of the things I want to yet, so... I still love the book. I haven't even experimented with the main meal recipes yet but looking forward to it. (It takes a lot longer to get through leftovers when it's only my husband and I trying to finish off the experiments.)
