5.0 out of 5 stars~~Excellent Variety~~
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2018
This recipe book is divided into several sections.... Appetizers and Drinks, Main Dishes, and Desserts. Lots of recipes that were provided by the authors ...think over 25 authors in all.

I love to cook and always look for ease in preparation as well as the local availability of the ingredients. I went through and selected the ones that made me 'drool' as well as the ones that will be really tasty in the winter.

In the Appetizer section, will make the Ham and Cheese Cups. Will have to cut it down considerably as it is for 24 servings. Sounds really good.

Selected several in the Main Dishes category including the Crock Pot Venison Stew (Yes, deer season will be upon us soon in Vermont), the Lobster Mac and Cheese. Am not a fan of Velveeta cheese, as our state has a lot of cheese around. Am thinking I will substitute a cheddar with horseradish instead. Also, the Smoked Salmon sounded really good but no smoker and the availability of salmon is nearly non-existent...

Christmas chestnut stuffing is on my list for over the Holiday season. Have not had any chestnuts since I was stationed in Spain. Used to buy them roasted on the streets in Sevilla for a few pennies a package.

In the dessert section, there are some really outstanding recipes. I will make the Cranberry-Apple Crumble..and once again due to the availability of apples in Vermont. Love carrot cake and the recipe sounds excellent. Only made it once and had to hand grate the carrots. No food processor so will just drool on that one, too..

Will save these on my Kindle so I can return and try some others over the Holiday season

Most highly recommended...

I'm not a contemporary romance reader as such but a recipe collection this good should not be missed. Fine selection of fish, roasts, pastas, desserts and breakfast items.

4.0 out of 5 stars Something for everybody.
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2018

Favorite Holiday Recipes - I haven't read the Love Christmas 2 boxed set, but thought I'd check out the recipes from the authors. The recipes are grouped by categories ranging from appetizers and drinks to main and side dishes to baked goods and desserts, complete with links.

A link will take you to the recipe complete with a photo and an overview of that story. The recipes range from scratch to processed ingredients, and are basic to specialized comfort dishes. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. There is something for everyone and none are difficult to make.

Personally, I would use better grades of cheese to mix with lobster (Lobster Mac & Cheese). There's too much salt in some of the recipes, which is an easy fix. Now, excuse me while I make some cookies to go with my coffee. 4*

5.0 out of 5 stars New, Cookbooks for treats and everyday foods for everyone's collection.
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018

I didn't learn how to cook growing up, I always was outside working with my Dad. My head under the hood of a big rig and fetching tools. My brothers hated working with him and I was the only one that loved it. I did learn how to fend for myself with cars and almost anything else. My dad always said that it good to be a girl but that girl needed to know how to be self-sufficient. Well, I definitely am that, thanks to him. Oh, and he always made me wear gloves to that I would still have soft hands WITHOUT grease under the nails!!! LOL That being said I have collected cookbooks so that I can fix anything that I want. I love having the digital ones, they don't take up any space. Also having a small family now that the kids and grandkids are grown, having a cookbook is the only way to go in making smaller portions. New, Cookbooks for treats and everyday foods for everyone's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eating and Reading a Beautiful Pairing
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2019

Each recipe has an excerpt from a story from.The collection, Love Christmas 2.
Ham, broccoli and Cheese Salad from, Can She Get Home For Christmas, by Rebecca York. This is cooked for a Christmas dinner in the book and it contains Splenda and red onions.
Busy Writer's Rotisserie Chicken Grilled Sandwich from, A Christmas Creek Carol, by Rochelle Ayala. This sandwich is made with leftovers. Leftover deli rotisserie chicken, how easy can it be? In the book, the lettuce is wilted and the recipe says that's okay. Use a toaster oven to heat it up. Like some generation says, Easy Peasy.
There are 4 recipes of Appetizers and drinks, 5 for Main Dishes, baked Goods and Desserts have 14, and side dishes have 4.
Enjoy the eating and reading

4.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Teaser!

While the recipes in this book are clear and the one I made , the apricot almond coffee cake was to die for, the real treasure is the story summary that accompanies each recipe. If it weren't one in the morning I'd run right out and buy the collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delicious recipes from romance writers
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2019

Delicious sounding recipes from the authors of a collection of Christmas stories. The recipes are not specifically Christmas recipes and there are a couple that I'd like to try very soon. The special thing about this recipe book is that each other has provided a brief insight into how a particular recipe relates to her story in the collection. Very nice idea.

Favorite Holiday Recipes: From the Authors of Love, Christmas 2 was a great read by Mimi Barbour. This book is a collection of recipes from various authors of The Holiday Series Book 2. Each recipe has a preface from the author on why the recipe is important to their story. The recipes include appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. I enjoyed reading this recipe book.

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2018

A nicely organized companion recipe book to Love Christmas 2 - Appetizers and Drinks, Main Dishes, Baked Goods and Desserts. Easy to follow recipes, which are not too complicated or require many ingredients and include pictures with an anecdote how the recipe is included in the story. The price is right. If you enjoy browsing cookbooks, especially holiday cook books, this one will not disappoint.
