Nice book
My kids loved looking at the pictures as we were getting ready for the new year.

Very Good
I really like the book - the easiest to use of all of her cook books. As the mother of two children with an Iranian father, this book really helped us to incorporate celebrating Nowruz into our family traditions. The bean soup (ash-e resh-te) recipe was great. We made the cream puffs and that turned out delicious (couldn't get the temperature reading she suggests, but they were fine anyway). I also made red rice with green beans (a childhood favorite of my husband's) - we loved it. Regarding the recipes here are a few tips:
1. the author always stipulates way more onion than necessary, so cut it by at least half.
2. You can leave out the saffron - the recipe will still be good.
3. You can substitute sour cream for Kashk (whey) - I do this all the time in the eggplant dip.

Great book!
I love that this cookbook has traditional recipes and information about the Persian New Year.The photos and descriptions are terrific.My only complaint is that some of the recipes have ingredients that are not easy to come by, and no substitutions are noted (nor is there info on whether some of the minor, hard to find ingredients could be omitted, if necessary).

Not what I expected...
The haji firouz cookie cutter is a blast however the gingerbread receipe does not offer adequate ingrediants to make a good batch! I think the receipes should be revised. Good first effort!

Wonderful Book
This is yet another wonderful persian cookbook from Ms. Batmanglij. I have three of her other books, and each one is full of fantastic recipes, beautiful photographs, and lovely cultural information. This book is no different. This is be very helpful in learning to celebrate Nowruz with my daughter (my husband is Iranian) for years to come. We already made the haji firuz cookies! ... Read more

best recipes
This book has the best cookie recipes! I get rave reviews on the cookies, and the fruitcake is out of this world. people (well, those who like fruitcake) literally beg for the recipe. I have not tried many of the entrees or sides, but they look good. The best things about this book are the great instructions, the timetables, and tips. You know all you need to know about a recipe before you try it. highly recommended!

First rate first Christmas book
This book was purchased for my daughter who is setting up her first household.She was thrilled with it.It is has information on decorating, ideas for entertaining and lots of recipes.

Christmas *Recipes* 101 would be a better book title
I am disappointed in this book because it is *not* a general book about Christmas preparation, but a recipe book only. With a name like Christmas 101, and what I read in the book description, I was expecting not only recipes but perhaps an overall Christmas timetable, tips on selecting a tree as well as thoughts on natural vs artificial, information on different cultures' traditions other than strictly food based. This is a nice enough recipe book, but is is now what I expected, or wanted.

Sorry I bought the book
Recieved this book just the other day. So many recipes I will never use espically for Christmas like Black-eyed pea stew, or Parsnip and leek soup. No pictures haven't found a recipe yet I would actually make for Christmas maybe the cookies? I don't think this book is simple to make it stress free. Not what I expected.I have a ton of better Christmas cookbooks thought I would give this one a try and sorry I did. I could not recommend this book.

A GOOD CHRISTMAS EDUCATION
Having Rodgers' Thanksgiving 101 book I decided to try his Christmas 101 book, too.This is not, nor is it meant to be the all-encompassing cookbook for Christmas.It is a rather slight book at under 200 pages.

More important than the actual recipes is Rodgers' advice and tips on planning your feast, party, decorating tips for the table, music, along with great ideas for new tradtions and ways to spice up old traditions.

Whether it's your first holiday party or you're an old pro looking for new entertaining ideas, Christmas 101 Offers luscious fare with Rick's easy style, including Focaccia with Smoked Salmon and Marscapone, Seafood Chowder with Fresh Herbs, and Peppermint Profiteroles. Classic holiday recipes for prime rib, goose, gingerbread cookies, wassail, and Hoppin' John are covered as well.

Another great Penny Whistle book
I have many of the Penny Whistle books, and this one is as charming as the others.There are plentiful ideas for fun Christmas-themed parties here, accompanied by--as ever--charming and whimsical illustrations and margin notes.This series never takes itself too seriously, which is part of what I'm drawn to.As usual, the book lists parties from younger ages all the way up to adult Christmas festivities, and the ideas (and recipes) are clearly explained.Lots of scope for imagination, and really fun.

GREAT!
This book is really fun, and full of creative ideas for the whole family. The recipes are fun and easy as well as the decorting and game ideas. These Penny Whistle books are brilliant!! ... Read more

TastyHistory
This book is a winner, and not just for children! Pilgrim society comes vividly alive through believable characters and of course, those surprisingly adaptable recipes. We've successfully turned out several of them, and in the process awakened an interest in early American history in our young nephews. Thanksgiving projects are a natural tie in, but "Pilgrim Girl" will feed body and spirit any time.

A "Little House in the Big Woods" on Pilgrim life
I encouraged my daughter to read this and she had so much fun I read it, too. The we made the recipes-which are mouthwatering delicious! A meal for the mind and for the stomach.

Terrific resource! Excellent reading! Tasty, too!
This volume is just what we were looking forfor the library at our daughters elementary school. It is a wonderful balance of history, adventure and great recipes for kids to try. A great resource for teachersand parents! Charming and so well done. HIghly suggest this one for class projects. ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An oliebol is a traditional Dutch food. Oliebollen (literally oil balls) are traditionally eaten on New Year's Eve and at funfairs. They are also called smoutebollen (literally lard balls) in Belgium. Sometimes it is referenced in English as Dutch donut. Oliebollen are a variety of dumpling made by using two spoons to scoop a certain amount of dough and dropping the dough into a deep fryer filled with hot oil. In this way, a sphere-shaped oliebol emerges. The dough is made from flour, eggs, yeast, some salt, milk, baking powder and usually sultanas, currants, raisins and sometimes apple pieces and zest or succade. In some family recipes beer is added to the dough. ... Read more
