I have the Good Food Homemade Christmas magazine!

[NotAPuffin]

I'm so excited! I haven't opened it yet, I'm waiting till tonight when the kids are in bed and I can curl up in front of the fire in peace and have a glorious wallow in it

Is this a one off special? Are you a subscriber or did you pick it up in the shops?

Yes, a one-off. I got it in a shop. 147 pages of premature festive goodness : )

YEAHH

Well that's my evening sorted

Me too! I's all DS1's fault, he made my buy it.

Eek! I vow not to buy the Christmas magazines every year and just dig out previous years and it'll be just the same but it's all a lie....a big fat lie...and I'll be scouring the shops tomorrow for it!

Fabulous. Don't normally buy the Mags... but this early this treat....yes. by way was in IKEA and it saw done Christmas wrapping paper.

Hmmm..how many pages are just glossy advertising??

I read that in the shop this week as ds was asleep in his pushchair and I was bored, it was quite good! They recycled one of the cakes from last years mag though which is a bit cheeky.

I LOVED the idea of making cinnamon buns in a Christmas tree shape though and am stealing that and making a heart shaped one for my wedding anniversary!

I bought a Christmas magazine last year and was so disappointed. It was complete drivel.
Let us know if this one is any good though OP?

I can't let you know yet, I'm afraid. It was sunny last night and it didn't feel right reading it so early. I'm going to stash it away till the 1st of November (and get the December Good Food to go with it) and enjoy it properly then.

Ooh, I think a quick trip to the shops is in order! Might have to hide it from DH though or he'll think I've gone off my rocker

My first post on a Christmas thread this year!
I must get this today. I aim to start baking etc next week, and no, dp doesn't need to know!

I had a read quick flick through it, and the if you are a regular good food reader, a lot of the recipes have already been published. It's €8.50 here in Ireland, so won't bother!

I got it...and the lady on the till in Asda went "oooh look" and showed her friend on the next till and we all ooohed and ahhhhd for a bit.

Yeah, I got comments from loads of people in the shop too. Especially as I was also buying Halloween decorations...

There is a whole section things to make with children which they have copied straight from last year's it's about 4-5 pages. But plenty of other good stuff in it

I just bought this the other day! I always say I'm not buying crimbo magazines but I always do. xD

I loved the sound of the Gingerbread cake with caramel biscuit icing and it looks really nice decorated with little gingerbread biscuits.

oooh a trip to whsmith in order!
