4.0 out of 5 stars Cozy and Comfortable
The book is a wonderful read just on its own. Susan Simon lends her own stories to some of the recipes. The recipes are wonderul and not hard. I felt very comfortable reading the book and anticipating the upcoming Holiday season.

This was not a savory cheesecake, but a DESSERT, and the tart cranberry topping and graham cracker crust could not compensate for the blandness of straight cheese and eggs, flavored only with vanilla. It was so startling and unexpected that my friend actually spit it out.
Was this an error in proof reading, or simply a bad recipe? It certainly makes me hesitant to try another recipe from this book.
