The Chew: A Year of Celebrations

by The Chew

Appearing daily on the ABC network, The Chew celebrates and explores life through food, with a group of dynamic, engaging, fun, relatable co-hosts who serve up everything to do with food-from cooking and home entertaining to food trends, restaurants, holidays, and more-all aimed at making life better, fuller, and more fun.

The Chew Celebrates the Holidays captures the show's trademark wit, fun, practical advice, and recipes. Formatted like the two previous best sellers in 2012 and 2013, this all-new book celebrates a full year of holidays--from Easter to Fourth of July, Halloween to Christmas--and all that comes with them: food, decorating, entertaining and crafts. It will be filled with mouth-watering photographs and lively graphics so it is every bit as pleasing and inviting as the first two books.

The hosts of the show-all contributors to the book-are chef, best-selling author, and TV personality Mario Batali; Iron Chef's Michael Symon; Top Chef's Carla Hall; What Not to Wear's Clinton Kelly; and best-selling author and nutritionist Daphne Oz.

This was okay. Nothing that I just HAD to cook.

5🌟 all the way!

My favorite people and my favorite show. When I was catering I would have given anything to have had these people in my life. Unique food and a laid back easy way of doing it. What more could you ask for! I keep this book on my desk top. Enjoy.

i am unfamiliar with the TV show which I believe would help if I had that background. The cookbook centers around the TV personality hosts and a year's worth of dishes for specific holidays. There are some good recipes in the book but the style left me behind. Maybe if i watched the show.

Everything looks so yummy, and I found a couple recipes for Thanksgiving.

So I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. To me what bugged me (and distracted me) is that this book is CLEARLY more about promoting the show than a good solid "go to" cookbook. How I weigh a cookbook is that if at the finish of reading it, there is no recipe that screams I need to make this, to me it is a fail - any cookbook should have something that appeals to most readers.

I found some good recipes. My favorite so far is the Dorm Room Apple Snack, a delicious, easy nighttime treat. I would have like to have seen more pictures if food, and less pictures and anecdotes of the cast.

[Becky R. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like the show, and I like their collections. This one has some of the recipes I grew tired of looking up, so it is a nice book to have on hand for some variations on some holiday favorites.

What a waste of time! I was expecting much more. Most of the book is pictures of them during the show.

Great recipes!

There are many great recipes in this book. I recommend it to foodies and beginning chefs alike. Give it a read.

[Estela Hammond · Rating 4 out of 5]

The recipes are easy enough. I liked that this cookbook is organized by menus that can be done for different holidays or celebration times during the year.

I've seen a lot of the recipes on the show, so it didn't inspire me too much.
