I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love a good cookbook for Christmas.  This is a terrific time of year as there is some beautiful ones being released right now and some oldie but goodie favourites.

Here are our picks:

Once a Month Cooking by Jody Allen

Save time and money by cooking just once a month – and get your busy life back during the week. This best selling book shows you how to get the best deals, how to find the right recipes to make in bulk – and how to get it all done in merely hours so all you have to do during the week is steam some vegetables and heat up your pre-cooked meals – meals that freeze beautifully.

Fresh and Light by Donna Hay

I love Donna Hay – I’ve owned her cookbooks for years and years and all of her recipes are delicious and they always work.  In fact, I would say that Donna Hay is my cooking hero!  Here is one of her latest cookbooks, Fresh and Light – using fresh ingredients in a way that makes them the star of the dish!

Christmas Feasts and Treats by Donna Hay

Donna Hay makes Christmas cooking and entertaining so easy, with this must-have collection of over 200 easy, delicious, reliable, and totally fabulous Christmas recipes to make, enjoy and give over the festive season.

I’ve had a hand in cooking Christmas feasts for as long as I can remember, but because it comes around only once a year, I know it can be a little bit daunting – especially if you’re attempting a new glazed ham or you’re asked to bring something different for dessert.

This book is full of recipes I love and trust for exactly those times. With step-by-step images and plan-ahead tips, you can change up your menu with confidence. And, while I admit I never stray too far from the classics at Christmas (call me nostalgic!), you’ll find plenty of modern styling ideas and time-saving tricks inside.
