"A stunningly beautiful book. There is so much more here than just recipes. Personal stories, history, and artwork from Rome also deck the pages. The recipes are well-written, have an accompanying photograph, and they also span the Advent season, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Epiphany. There is a special section covering Christmas desserts and cookies, and another section featuring Christmas recipes from around the world ... Delightful!" -
