Holiday: Appetizers, Dinners, Cookies Cookbook by Publications International

Let's talk food! It's the holidays and that usually means sharing meals, desserts, and beverages with our family and friends. We take time to enjoy catching up with them as we celebrate the holidays. This cookbook, Holiday Appetizers, Dinners, Cookies, will give you great suggestions to bring a new dish to the party.

For me, the mark of a good cookbook is the photography. When there are photos of the dishes created, it's highly likely I will be turning the pages. The photos make me realize that I could do that, I could bake or cook that dish and have my family enjoy it. The appetizers include dips and finger foods. Are you familiar with cheese balls? In Holiday Appetizers, Dinners, Cookies you'll see a Christmas cheese tree that looks very easy to create - how festive! Prime rib always seems like a daunting task to prepare but the steps are actually quite simple. When you see the photo of the beef rib roast in this cookbook with its mushroom-bacon sauce drizzled over the top, you'll long to serve prime rib at your dining table. Nothing means winter-time vacation more than a steaming cup of hot chocolate after time outdoors sledding or skating in the cold. But have you ever seen hot chocolate cookies? Yes, the tops of these cookies look exactly like a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows floating on the top. Yum!

We have several new cookbooks in the BHS Media Center. Stop by and check them out, but not before lunch. When hungry, these books may be too tempting.
