I always love Donna's photos and recipes and this book is a nice enough book. The menus are a little high end, and I would love to have seen some more basic recipes and simpler menus, but I am sure that with Donna's relaxed style, all the recipes are pretty much failproof. It is refreshing to have a Christmas recipe book that is Australian, that's for sure; and a small bonus is that there is a place to record different Christmas's, the menus used and the memories.

There are some gorgeous ideas and pictures in this book. In my opinion, Christmas is the time to go all out with presentation and this books hands it to you on a platter (pardon the pun). From the no-fuss cook to the gourmand, this has it all, and there are also ideas to keep the kids interested in cooking. I love this book!
