There is nothing as cosy or relaxing as a day spent baking in the festive season. Freshly-baked cookies are very much a part of the advent period — filling your home with the scent of warm, sugary dough is sure to raise a smile before a single bite is taken out of them!

Joy to the World sweetens the lead-up to Christmas with 24 favourite biscuit and cookie recipes from around the world — one for every day before Christmas. Try the famous gingerbread from Sweden, Christmas cantucci from Italy, or millionaire's shortbread from Scotland. The recipes are simple, fun and festive, and make a tasty gift or indulgent treat.

Beautifully designed with charming photographs throughout, Joy to the World will make your Christmas extra special, and the book itself is a stylish stocking filler for the baker in your life.
