"Not just for the holidays." --Booklist

"Sarah Kieffer taught us that pan-banging was as essential to cookies as a glass of milk. Her recipes crafted for the holiday season offer the same sort of effortless, tried and true baking wisdom. This book is filled to the brim with recipes to return to, and worthy of building traditions around. A comforting keeper for anyone who loves to bake." --Erin Jeanne McDowell, author of The Book on Pie

"Sarah's style of baking--cozy, nostalgic, and crave-able especially in the cold winter months--was made for the holidays. Her recipes yield the kinds of treats that just beg to be eaten with a hot cup of coffee near the fireplace as the snow falls outside. They're hearty, reliable, and exactly what I'll be turning to at the holidays (and beyond)!" --Molly Yeh, cookbook author and Food Network host
