The Christmas Companion

Skye’s unabashed love for Christmas shines through these pages like a golden star placed high on a tree. At the heart of this book lies a collection of recipes for festive feasting that I can’t wait to try and know will love, for Skye is a maker of magic in the kitchen, and every glorious photograph inside makes me want to don my apron and press play on the carols. Helpful tips and tricks, checklists and menu suggestions abound alongside, but prevailing Skye’s book is a sense of fun, a revelling in the sheer joy that Christmas conjures. * Luke Edward Hall *
