A pleasing mix of sweet and savoury gifts to make. The range of items to make and the seasonal presentation together with the mix of the traditional and the new make this an excellent buy. Just a few of the gifts you can come up with using this book are a tin of delicious biscuits, a tempting box of sweets or the ingredients for a special pasta supper. Above all Annie Rigg is showing that giving a gift to eat is also giving your time and attention, making these lovely foodie gifts a very precious commodity. ~ Sue Baker
