Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Pumpkin bread

    • Rinshin on January 02, 2024

      This had a texture of banana bread. Used roasted pumpkin instead of canned but mostly followed the recipe except reducing sugar to 80% and the sweetness was just right for us. Needed additional 10-15 min baking time. Recipe makes 2 loaves. It is a good overall quick bread recipe for using up pumpkin.

Bake with confidence this holiday season.

A guaranteed-to-work, guaranteed-to- impress recipe is the Holy Grail for any home baker. That's because for every recipe they've tried that works, there are many more didn't (and that means wasted time, effort, and ingredients). Now you can start with the best recipe every time you bake thanks to this special collection of 80+ all-time best holiday baking recipes from the editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine.

This year, make Gingerbread Cookies that are really worth eating, Triple-Chocolate Mousse Cake as impressive to look at as it is easy to make, rich and buttery Crescent Rolls that put the store-bought versions to shame, an Eggnog Bundt Cake that swirls the flavors of a classic holiday party drink through perfectly spiced cake (topped off with a brandy or rum glaze!), and many more. We include our top picks for the best-tasting supermarket ingredients, and the best-performing equipment and cookware. Find out which pre-made pie dough, cream cheese, white chocolate, raspberry preserves, rimmed baking sheets, pie plates, digital scale, and measuring spoons impressed our testers (hint: a higher price tag does not always mean better quality).

Featured recipes include: Best Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Cinnamon Swirl Bread, Individual Fallen Chocolate Cakes, Coffee Cake Muffins, Jam Thumbprints, Black Forest Cake, Make-Ahead Breakfast Casserole, Rugelach with Raisin-Walnut Filling, Silky-Smooth Crème Brûlée, and many more!
