The cookbook comes as an e-Cookbook or a hard copy. I have spent a couple of months on this cookbook. It is my way to have all of you as my dinner guests on Christmas Day. The recipes are all the ones I prepare for my Christmas dinner. The e-Cookbook is great because you can save it on your computer and add your own notes to it and it's also a better price. Check it out if you have a chance. The e-Cookbook is set as a bid item starting at $5.00 US and the hard copy is $15.99 (shipped to you collect - by courier or Canada Post - your choice).  Check it out! The cookbook is called "&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Christmas Dinner at My&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;House&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;". Cooking for me is a labour or Love. It is like sharing my personal feelings with others (especially my family). The picture you see here is on the cover of my cookbook.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Thank you for visiting my blog.

How many times have my husband and I gone out for dinner and often wonder if we could get the recipe at restaurants where we have tasted something delicious. Chefs guard their recipes very closely, especially if they are their trademark.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;One of my favorite places to eat is Red Lobster. It is very difficult to get a reservation because they are booked way ahead of time. We went to Toronto and tried to do a walk in which was a waste of time. They were so busy and had people waiting to be seated! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Copy Cat Cookbook&lt;/em&gt; has amazing recipes. With this cookbook there are &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;bonuses&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that make this an unbelievable value. There are 332 recipes in this cookbook but that's not all! If you order today you get the following additional bonuses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus #1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - A downloadable &lt;em&gt;Copycat Cookbook #2 absolutely &lt;strong&gt;Free&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; with an additional 424 more recipes from restaurants such as Applebee's, Chi Chi's, Olive Garden to mention a few.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus #2&lt;/strong&gt; - You get the &lt;em&gt;Crock Pot Cookbook&lt;/em&gt; absolutely &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Free&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; with 702 recipes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus #3&lt;/strong&gt; - The &lt;em&gt;Holiday Coobook&lt;/em&gt; is also included absolutely &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Free &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;with 640 holiday recipes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus #4&lt;/strong&gt; - You also get the &lt;em&gt;Cookie Cookbook&lt;/em&gt; absolutely &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;free&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; with 225 cookie recipes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;This would actually be an excellent Christmas gift for someone. It would also be an excellent wedding or shower gift. I remember when I got married I had one cookbook to my name which had been given to me as a shower gift by co-workers. This has everything a person needs when starting out and then some!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;Check out their website.
