 A Christmas Cracker March 17, 2008

As a Christmasaholic, I look forward to getting this book down from the shelf at the beginning of November, to start all the fun bits before the hassle starts. (Though you'll need plenty of space in the freezer.)
I'd really recommend the Christmas chutney and the spiced apricot & orange chutney, sausage rolls, mincemeat and - best of all - the light glace fruit cake. So would all my friends and family! And there are some great veggie recipes.
Her Christmas lunch schedule, giving you all the timings, is brilliant, although you can actually do a lot more of it a day or so in advance to leave more time on the day.
I'd recommend this as a great present - but maybe not a Christmas present!

Typically Delia: as ever one is overwhelmed by choice (six different Christmas cake recipes anyone?!) and a lot of her recipes are fiddly (prepare your ingredients in three different bowls and spend half the day doing it). That said, this book does provide a wealth of information on Christmas food and how to go about timing it (starting at the end of October with the Christmas cake!). There is also a lot of information about traditional Christmas food that is useful when it's all too easy to buy everything in packets these days. All in all, a useful book if you can take what you need from it and ignore the rest of her waffle.
 Buy this if you have nothing else to do at Christmas! January 5, 2006

The recipies in this book are not bad but are difficult to follow with no step by step lists, just massive paragraphs of text and there wasn't enough pictures for my liking. If Delia had her way we'd all be preparing and cooking for Christmas in October! Oh... and she doesn't believe in cooking ahead and freezing. Talk about sucking the fun out of Christmas.

In my attempts to be a 'modern man', I need all the help I can get. Delia, thankyou, thankyou and thankyou again. This book comes out every year with the tree, decorations, drink and viewing of Zulu, Guns of Navarone, The Great Escape and Scrooge.
It is a classic and never been bettered. I have it on good authority that this book still causes shortages of certain ingredients in the shops. If it's near the end of November get your pureed chesnut NOW! Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without Delia.
