Review

"A gorgeous book stuffed full of cosy projects and foodie treats which would make a great addition to any collection of Christmas books. The projects are very well explained and so infinitely 'doable ' without the need for expensive equipment or complicated techniques. I have several in mind to try for Christmas this year. This book would make a delightful early Christmas present for anyone who enjoys a hands on approach to preparing their end of year festivities."--NetGalley Review
"Absolutely love this..... So many fabulous ideas for Christmas I'm spoilt for choice over where to start! Do I make to sell at Christmas Fayres, do I keep for myself and family or do I make to give as presents? So many nice decisions to be able to make and there's something for everyone in here young and old and whatever gender. Many thanks for letting me read this book I will be looking out for more from Becci."--NetGalley, Claire Portsmouth
