This book takes a step back and looks at cooking in a thoughtful, new way. Over the years the meaning of holidays and special occasions have been forgotten and have just become a chore, rather than a celebration. These pages try to convince you to throw the party, not because no one else will, but because everyone knows no one else can entertain quite like you. The history and traditions of the holidays will inspire you to try out some of the over 50 mouth watering recipes. Enjoy
