Author Description

Divided into sixteen chapters, each devoted to a different holiday, this cookbook presents perfect special menus made up of the most delirious and easy-to-follow recipes culled from the pages of Bon Appetit magazine. Here is a year of holiday cooking: from a casual New Year's Day supper through the final New Year's Eve gala. In between you'll find the traditional and the soul-nourishing: blintzes for Hanukkah, chocolate eggs for Easter, sticky buns for Mother's Day, fried chicken for the Fourth of July, Sage Butter Turkey for Thanksgiving, Roast Prime Rib of Beef for Christmas dinner. And there are ideas for something a little different: a Valentine's Day dinner for two as spicy as it is romantic, a dramatic Butterflied Leg of Lamb with Rosemary for Father's Day, Eggs Florentine Plus for a lazy, late breakfast on Labor Day weekend. Throughout "Bon Appetit" Holidays you'll discover helpful tips for everything from making food as gifts to keeping a well-stocked bar to decorating the table. In fact, everything you need to make holidays truly festive occasions can be found in this one delectable cookbook.
