YUP-----ordered mine last night-----now what year will I receive???

I hope there are not too many repeat recipes. But from what I have seen, C@H does not do that too often--

" I hope there are not too many repeat recipes "

That's what I mentioned in another thread. Several recipes in the index looked familiar.

Hi Everyone,

I was just cleaning up some spam out of another post, and I saw this thread.

I just received my copy of Holiday Menus (employees get advance copies) and it's just awesome. I'm not much of a cook (I work in the technology side of the business), but I really like this book because it's a little different than your normal cookbooks.

What's neat about it is that it gives you a progression of meals starting at Thanksgiving and ending on New Year's day. It's not just a book full of recipes, it's a timeline of menus that travels throughout the entire holiday season. It gives you two options for each meal and even provides options for things like what to do with your turkey leftovers the day after Thanksgiving. It's a different spin on what we normally do.

Oh, and by the way....I just spoke with John Meyer (the Editor) on the phone and asked him your question of new vs. old recipes. Here's what he had to say...

"There are 5 recipes in this book that have been used before....but that's mostly the dips. We have 5 different, all new dressings and everything else in the book is new. Some of the recipes in the book (like the Trifle recipe) have been done before, but they have been reworked for this book."

Hopefully that answers the question of how they re-use recipes. John said that they are always trying to rework their recipes and try new things. Sometimes you just simply can't make things any better....after all, "turkey and dressing is about as good as it's ever going to get." - says John.

Anyway...it's a great book if you have a chance to pick it up, I think it's a great buy...but, I'm a bit biased!!

Thanks!

Brian
