With the vast varieties of well-known Christmas dishes, there are ample opportunities to introduce new ideas into our culinary traditions. That is the beauty of the Christmas meal – it can be reborn again and again.
Seasonal
Thanksgiving is a holiday designed to bring people around food. What an excellent opportunity to show gratitude while re-writing old traditions.
Food is as much about the art, design, textures, colors, ingredients, and techniques, as is apparel fashion. I call this Food Fashion!
Summer is just around the corner. That means firing up the grill for a summer barbecue. If you are the designated “grill master” in your family or neighborhood, here’s an idea that may inspire you…consider an Indian barbecue.
We all think of Spring as a time for “cleaning”. But I like to think of it as a time for “cleansing”. A refreshing re-start to welcome the new season.
I am inspired to do something fun and fresh this Easter; to play with some alternative ways to enjoy our Easter meal and celebration. I call it “Easter Lite”.
When I awoke one morning earlier this week, I was greeted by the first snowfall of the year. A sure sign that it is the season to feast on raclette.
Christmas gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things and people in our lives. I hope some of my own reflections on Christmases past will inspire you.
When it comes to Thanksgiving it’s all about giving thanks. My natural instinct is to show gratitude through my food, so I continued my ritual of enhancing the Thanksgiving menu as the years progressed.
When it comes to holiday cooking, I am a chef who anticipates the challenge. Thanksgiving, in particular, is not only an occasion to come together around food, but it is an opportunity to make old traditions new.
