1.0 out of 5 stars
Paperback version not same as hardcover, July 23 2010
By Sakuya - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: SOUTHERN LIVING : BIG BOOK OF CHRISTMAS (Paperback)
I had this book pre-ordered and it arrived today. Boy was I disappointed. This is not what I was expecting.Last year I saw the hardcover version of this book at a brick and mortar store but never bought it since it was Christmas time and I had other things to spend my money on than the book. I did, however, take a picture of the cover with my cell phone to remind me to look for it again sometime.
When I saw that Amazon was having the softcover version coming out, I was thrilled and pre-ordered it (without a picture being shown of what it looked like but the title was the same) since the hardcover version does not show up in searches on Amazon. Now that the softcover has arrived with a different cover, I flipped through the entire thing and am extremely unimpressed. I really only need one really good idea to spark me to buy one of these types of books and as I looked through the pages I was miffed to not find a single one. I did another look through thinking perhaps I had missed something. Nope. Then I flipped to the front page of the book to find this softcover version is an "abridged" version of the hardcover (that I didn't notice anywhere in Amazon's description). Apparently whatever enticed me in the hardcover version did not make it to the softcover.
The food stylist for a couple of the dishes featured should be fired. The food looks like it was sitting out for a few hours before the picture was taken.
This book is not for me. It has lots of recipes and tabletop pics, but nothing "special" that I haven't seen before. Nothing that inspired me. Lots of mantel pics that didn't make me want to recreate it in my own home and basically no "flash." Seriously, if I picked this book up off the dollar table at the store I wouldn't have bought it because there is not a single idea in it that sparks my interest and like I said before, I only need one for me to be happy with a purchase.

Checked out at the library, am now going to buy!, Jan 3 2011
By jbwyo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: SOUTHERN LIVING : BIG BOOK OF CHRISTMAS (Paperback)
The only reason I saw this review is because, after checking this cookbook out at the library, I did an on-line search, as I had to have it!In a period of one week, I have made three recipes out of the cookbook and loved them all, as did my family.
Over Christmas I made the Prime Rib with Horseradish Cream, Eggnog Cheesecake, and Shephard's Pie--all were great!! I see so many more recipes that I want to try.
Plus the photos! Not only does the food look great, but the photos of the Christmas decor, table settings, mantles, candles...I could go on and on. I love cookbooks and this is one of my favorite so far!!
Listmania!
