CHRISTMAS COOKING DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

My favorite cookbook of the year. There's not anything here I don't love or wouldn't tackle. In 400+ pages, Oliver shows how you can be the Christmas host of the season. Want to figure out what will be the centerpiece of your Christmas table? How about a roast goose, roast beef, a jerk ham, porchetta, turkey (with detailed instructions from refrigerator to the table, carving included), turkey wellington, roast chickens with four different flavored butters, or rack of lamb, roast venison, duck---even a rather grand and saucy meatloaf. Seafood is is an elegant choice too with a fish pie stuffed with lobster, or a salmon en croute, a fish curry or salt crust salmon. He's thought of vegetarians and vegans too with a generous collection in both categories. He surrounds the feast with starters (a gorgeous Gravlax with beets, horseradish, vodka & dill), a generous section on potatoes, including balsamic potatoes, which I've already made and urge you to try as well. Oliver is a genius with vegetable sides, and his group here are amongst his best ever. A dark gravy as well as a "get-ahead gravy" can be done in advance along with the cranberry sauce. Yorkshire puds, and savory stuffings make easy work of your turkey, and a generous section for a group of dishes using up leftovers is essential. Toad in the hole is very saucy and intriguing. JAMIE OLIVER'S CHRISTMAS COOKBOOK doesn't let down in the extensive dessert and homemade gifts section. The apple pie has sour cranberries, blood orange, vanilla and cinnamon. It's a drop-dead gorgeous presentation with all the cutout shapes baked into it's lattice top. Banoffee Alaska is a heavenly creation of almond pastry, caramel, bananas & vanilla ice cream. There are gifts to give, such as fudge spiked with whisky & clementine, rocky road with popcorn, nuts, clementine, ginger, sour fruit, & chocolate, limoncello and pear pickle. Other chapters cover ups, bites and handheld nibbles, and a generous selections of holiday drinks. Finally there is an excellent guide to roasting all the meat entrees in this book. Immensely readable, thanks to Jamie's genial tone and explicit instructions.

The many gorgeous color photographs both instructional and aspirational, give the holiday season clarity. If all this seems breathless, it doesn't begin to address the comprehensiveness of this superb work. A friend half-heartedly complained that Oliver neglected Christmas breakfast. The book was large and heavy enough without another 28-page section. Besides, it would be churlish to demand anything else. Here is an all-in-one guide to providing the very best feast you can for your family and friends. Give it as a gift, and find a place on your shelf for invaluable advice on getting it on the table for all your holiday seasons to come

I LOVE THIS COOKBOOK !! So very glad I bought it! This AMAZING cookbook is huge, at 1 1/2" thick, 10" tall, 7 3/4" wide. The pages are thick paper & sturdy! There is a very sturdy dust jacket & the book binding itself is decorated with lovely colorful lettering on all three sides! There are two-count braided ribbons to hold your place. Recipes begin on page 18 & end on page 372 - a HUGE COLLECTION! Beginning pages are fun pages about Jamie & family, with great photos. After the recipes there are also fun pages of how to make some extra fun Christmas crafts. Then there is a great guide to cooking meats & lastly the index of all of the recipes according to topic AND ingredient. You will not be disappointed!!!

Recipes for a Special Christmas Menu

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

Jamie Oliver's Christmas Cookbook was a spur of the moment purchase since I was planning to host out-of-town guests and wanted to make our meals together special. We have family members who are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan so there was a real possibility that I wouldn't find much in this book. Luckily, I ordered it and was so happy I did! For Christmas Day, we made the Meatloaf, the Pumpkin Puree (which actually calls for butternut squash not pumpkin), the Brussel Sprouts with Chorizo, and the Cranberry Sauce. We added in DF mashed potatoes, GF rosemary rolls, and a variety of desserts to round out the meal. Every one of the items from this cookbook was absolutely delicious and even my very picky 11 year old son declared them all "incredible". My 6 year old niece asked for seconds, and this from a kid who is usually much more interested in playing than eating. My husband remarked today (the day after Christmas) that he would have been happy to have had such a good meal if we'd gone to a restaurant and I agree. Every item was special and delicious and most were easily adapted to our dietary constraints. There were some recipes in this book we couldn't make which utilize cheese as an integral part of the recipe but there were plenty of others that we could make or adapt so that there were plenty of options for our menu. The book I received was converted over from metic measurements for Americans measurements (tablespoons, etc.) so it was easy to use. The meatloaf recipe was beyond amazing with its crisscross covering of crispy smoked bacon and its "gravy" of chicken stock, black currant jam and sun-dried tomato paste. Next time I will double the amount of "gravy" (my term, not Jamie Oliver's) so we'll have more to top the mashed potatoes we made. The roasted fennel in the meatloaf recipe was not something I would have thought we'd like, but we LOVED it as part of the sweet "gravy". I subbed in GF breadcrumbs in the meatloaf and left out the mozzarella cheese and it was still absolutely delicious. Lastly, instead of the ground beef and ground pork mixture it called for, I subbed in ground bison for the beef and mixed it with the ground pork. Again, no problem and probably healthier and tastier - at least for us. We used more marshmallows than Jamie Oliver suggested for the Pumpkin Puree but that's just because for us that's an American tradition which the kids especially look forward to on Christmas and Thanksgiving. The Cranberry Sauce was phenomenal - less sweet than more traditional American cranberry sauce but not too tart. We did add in a little extra maple syrup but it was still a bit tart and a fantastic compliment to the meatloaf and the rest. I highly recommend this book for really interesting Christmas recipes that still fit the bill of being comfort food and yet special at the same time. The recipes would work for Thanksgiving too and I plan to use this book throughout the remaining months of winter in order to expand our menu options, particularly on weekends when we have a bit more time to cook. Although I am an experienced cook, my husband, 14 year old son and brother (with varying degrees of cooking experience) all pitched in on the cooking and found the recipes clear and easy to use. This is not a book for weeknights when everyone is racing to eat dinner, finish up homework and head off to bed but it filled my need for recipes that go beyond the typical holiday fare but that are healthy, delicious and accessible for the home cook.

Why must they change the ingredients to American?!

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021

I loved my time living in the UK and was really looking forward to recreating a yummy Christmas Roast here in the US as I knew I would be missing it.

*Sigh, this is where the 3 Vs 5 stars comes in. I wish I had bought this cook book in the UK because this one has American ingredients. Example, the best Yorkshire Puddings and Roast Potatoes I have ever had or made were with goose fat. Now I know, that probably isn't the easiest to come by in the US, but surely it's not that hard either. But to say to use vegetable oil for them??! I dare say Jaime has never made a Sunday or Christmas Roast using vegetable oil.

Its a cookbook. So I want to know what ingredients the chef is using to make the food in the recipes and pictures. I can then source those ingredients or I can substitute as I see fit. What I don't want or need is some editing company going through and changing it all to American ingredients.

For that reason, it's a 3 star for me. I probably would've returned it if it hadn't been a gift to me.

Amazing!!

Oh my goodness, I’m probably about half way through this book and I thought I’ve just got to leave a review!

I have every one of Jamie Oliver’s books and the one I always go back to for simple, everyday ideas is ministry of food (the Yorkshire pudding recipe has never failed me yet!).

This book tops it by far! I literally want to make every recipe I’ve read so far and I will definitely use this book throughout the year, not just at Christmas. There are some great vegetable recipes to spruce up Sunday lunches and so many ideas for everyday meals and special occasions.

I nearly didn’t bother with this book because I’ve got a few Christmas cookbooks already and I thought I’d got a cooked dinner pretty much perfected but I cannot wait to up my game this year thanks to this book!

A fantastic recipe book, with traditional and new recipes for Christmas, love it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

So the go-to Christmas book in our house has for years been Nigella’s Christmas; but this book from Jamie is a festive treat for the eyes (yes photos on every recipe again – thank you Jamie!), as well as for the mouth (the recipes we have tried so far have been spot on).

The variety of recipes in the book is excellent, with many that are not just for the festive season (unlike Nigella’s Christmas book).

So to begin with a summary, if you like the sound of the recipes (I have posted a FULL RECIPE LIST at the end of my review), you will LOVE this book. And if still unsure there are some of the recipes available on Jamie’s website to try before you buy, with images too.

And now for those that want it… here’s a bit more detail…

As stated first impression of the book were great, with every recipe having the following info:

Photo (very nice festive photos too)
Intro
Serving size
Timing (v important for me when browsing)
Nutritional information per serving: calories, fat, sat fat, protein, carbs, sugars, salt and fibre
Ingredients list (listed in metric)
Detailed method – leaving nothing to doubt

I have uploaded a couple of images so you can get an idea of some typical pages.

The book is split into the following sections:

Smart Starters
The Main Event
Veggie and Vegan Plates
The Wonderful World of Potatoes
Scrumptious Vegetables
Gravy, Sauces and all the trimmings
Incredible Leftovers
Spectacular Festive Puddings
Afternoon Tea and Sweet Treats
Cute Edible Gifts
Super Fantastic Salads
Dips, Bits and Handheld Nibbles
Perfect Drinks
Guide to Roasting Meat

As stated before, there is a huge variety of recipes so I am sure I will be cooking from this book throughout the year or dipping into it for inspiration even in the summer months as some of the salads look very tasty indeed.

My only minor criticism is that I have noticed a couple of duplicated recipes (such as the Christmas Bomb), but to be honest there are so many other recipes in the book that I still feel very glad to have this book as an addition to my rapidly growing recipe book collection.

So all in all Jamie has done it again for me, a high quality book with a fantastic range of recipes that are accessible. Would make for an excellent Christmas gift for any JO fan. Fantastic.

I am a massive Jaime Oliver fan!! I have watched his Christmas cooking shows every year and I was so happy to find out he was releasing this book, which meant I could throw away all my print outs of his Christmas recipes covered in sauce. My partner bought me this before Christmas and I could not have been happier. It has all his recipes in and more. It's detailed and easy to use with lovely pictures. Would recommend the hot chocolate that's one of our favourites for Christmas Eve. It's of good quality and even if your not familiar with Jamie's cooking it's a great Christmas cook book to help with the day and many surrounding it.

I admit I have a few of Jamie's books but have never considered gifting one before. I was so impressed with this book I bought two more as gifts it's that good! It's very much like my Xmas go to book (Delia's) and just about covers everything you need and more for the Xmas festivities and beyond. I would consider this one of my heirloom books which hopefully my son who is a keen cook will be pulling out in years to come with his own family.
