The All-American Christmas Cookbook - an engaging little cookbook

127 pages with 50+ holiday recipes. It’s a small book that includes delicious-sounding recipes and many beautiful, full-color images (although many of them are a little small but still appealing). I’m glad I got this one to add to my holiday cookbook collection.
