Yeah, that pretty well sums it up. I can't speak to the full book, but this "selections from" freebie was pretty basic. It's a "Christmas Menu", so it's designed to be an entire dinner menu. I wasn't impressed enough with any of the recipes to try making anything here.

EDIT: Here's the recipe list from the TOC

Appetizers
Cornish Pasties
Creamy Onion Soup

Entree
Classic Road Turkey

Side Dishes
Fluffy Mashed Potatoes [this happens to be my mother's recipe...]
Classic Gravy [also my mother's recipe]
Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts
Glazed Carrots
Easiest Cranberry Sauce
Irish Soda Bread

Desserts
Christmas Pudding for Kids
Rhubarb Crumble with Custard Sauce
Christmas Trifle
Pumpkin Pie
Peppermint Humbugs
Hot Chocolate
