"Home Made Christmas by @yvettevanboven is my December pick for my #rainydaybitescookbookclub. Everyone who knows me knows that I love the holidays! My house is decorated from top to bottom and I can’t wait to start holiday baking and cooking. The holidays are fast approaching and this fantastic cookbook will help you greet the holiday season with over 100 delicious recipes covering tasty starters, boozy drinks, showstopper mains, sumptuous sides, and luscious desserts. The book features photos for every recipe and beautiful illustrations. In the back, are multiple menus to help with holiday planning too! So let’s start cooking and shower our friends and family with great food! I hope you join in. Here are the rules: 1. Anyone can join and participate; 2. Make a recipe from Home Made Christmas; 3. Make as many recipes as you want; 4. Post a photo of what you made from Home Made Christmas and use the hashtag #rainydaybitescookbookclub so that everyone can see what you made, even if they aren't following you. Our first challenge will be the trifle challenge! You can pick between either the Trifle with Salty Caramel, Cheesecake Cream, and Brownie Bits p. 209 or the Pavolva Trifle with Poached Pears p. 214. Post date, Sunday 12/09. Our second challenge is the Christmas Wreath Bread on p. 26. Post date of Sunday, 12/23. You can make the challenge recipes whenever you want, but wait to post your photos until that specific day, for our global community recipe challenge.
