This irresistible collection contains recipes for festive breads, cakes, and cookies culled from many cultures and cuisines--all associated with the holiday season. Includes a Christmas baking countdown calendar that helps cooks schedule time, indicates which items keep and ship well, and which doughs can be used to make tree decorations.
The synopsis that appears with this book, is not for this book at all. There is no mince pie or ginerbread in this book. This is no countdown calendar, either. However, I really like this book for what it does have: cookies that pack well to mail to faraway friends, some interesting biscotti recipes (I can't wait to try the cranberry pistachio one), and special holiday breads and cakes, including some unusual fruitcakes (one made with dried berries instead of that yucky, gooey stuff in most fruitcakes).
