Christmas: the Australian women’s weekly cookbook cover
Sparkly decorations, icing sugar snow, pretty paper, and ribbons curled just so. It’s hard not to get caught up in the festive mood thumbing through this gem of a cookbook.


This beautiful, little book contains all things sweet: puddings, cakes, fudge, ice cream, brownies, nougat, tarts, biscuits, jams and more, including a clever recipe that will have kids eating fibre – a recipe for mini gingerbread houses, which uses All-bran on the roof.


While the recipes are yummy additions to the Christmas table, many of them are perfect as gifts. There are even a couple of pages on gift packaging ideas. I particularly like the suggestion of using paper doilies to dress up jars.


If cooking doesn’t appeal to you, the cookbook itself is a great gift. You might even want to leave a bookmark conveniently on the, say, Parisian macaroons recipe. Mmm…

Nigella Lawson Christmas cookbook cover
mmm… roast potatoes…

The easy-to-follow recipes in Nigella Christmas are clear, detailed and are accompanied by a wealth of beautiful, festive photos and handy Make Ahead and Freeze Ahead Tips that are easily found in the outer margins. Best of all, this is a collection of recipes aimed at getting “maximum pleasure with minimum stress” from the Christmas pig outs and it is a book intended to save our “seasonal sanity
