- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2024This book was a huge success. I bought one for myself and loved it. The recipes are delicious. Mary talks about menu planning what to make in advance the night before and what to cook on Christmas Day. Also lets you know ingredients to stock in your pantry. Lots of tips etc I ended up buying 8 more books and giving them away as Christmas presents and absolutely everyone loved this book. I would use it again this Christmas but I will be Malta eating out at a restaurant. I would encourage people to buy this book. You won’t be disappointed
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2024Another great Mary Berry book - lovely christmas recipes
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2024So far this is the first Christmas book that I have bought ( and I have quite a selection!) that actually has me excited for Christmas already! Being a bit of a bakerholic I made straight for chapters 7&8! The book is divided into chapters taking you through everything you may want to try. No weird and wonderful ingredients just down to earth cooking with a special twist.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2025The book itself was in very good condition but the packaging was actually open when received. Think it hadn’t been sealed properly. Really pleased I bought this cookery book some great recipes as one would expect from Mary Berry no matter what our age group is.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2024Excellent, a good read, full of ideas and written as only Mary knows how. Highly recommended. Another download for me so no books cluttering up the kitchen.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2024Easily to follow
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2024I already have the hardback of this book and it's one of my favourite cookery books and I had to get the kindle copy as well. I've made quite a few of the recipes in this book and they've all been a hit. There's a reason it says on the cover "In Mary We Trust" - I can honestly say hand on heart I've never had a failure with ANY Mary Berry recipe I've tried and I don't think I can say that about many other cookery books! Fabulous.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2024I really like the book

5.0 out of 5 stars Tolles Kochbuch
Der Aubergine Five-Nut Roast ist eine gelungene Alternative für die Festtafel. Steht seit Jahren bei uns auf dem Menu... nun endlich habe ich das Kochbuch bestellt. Very happy with my purchase! Sehr froh über diesen Ankauf!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bake whole year not only for Christmas
Christmas is by far the best holiday of the year in our family. We love everything about Christmas, including preparation of the festive table. I have many books of famous chefs' Christmas collection, Mary Berry is one of them. Her book contains everything you need to entertain your family and friends on this special occasion!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Christmas recipes book
This book has wonderful traditional recipes and I can’t wait to try them out
- Dave the KReviewed in Canada on 20 November 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Mary’s the best
I am of British ancestry anyway so I’m very partial to every recipe Mary has put in this fantastic Christmas cook book. It’s a beautiful cook book well written and chock full of fantastic Christmas food recipes. Mary has presented multiple options for Christmas meals and festivities. Mary really is the best and this cook book is second to none. The one difficulty is that they can get some different types of sugar not readily available outside the UK , just substitute the closest white or brown sugar available to you works just fine for me anyway.
