The holiday season has arrived, and that often means entertaining family and friends while serving tasty meals. When cooking for a crowd, it is important to recognize that individuals might have certain dietary restrictions due to health or personal beliefs, and to plan accordingly.
Cooler weather arrives just as prime entertaining season heats up. Those who will be hosting gatherings soon can expand their recipe repertoire to feed guests and keep them satisfied. Borrowing some flavors from the season can make entertaining festive and even more flavorful.

Being immersed in the garden does something special to you.
On a warm evening in early September, a friend came over to watch a movie. What we really wanted was to indulge in the popcorn I would drench in enough butter to make a luscious breather from real life. It is so good to get a breather from real life.
As I write this, the autumnal equinox is upon us – the day of the year when light and dark are served in equal measures.

This was easier said than done.First, of all, Thanksgiving was not celebrated in England, for obvious reasons. There was still food rationing, for it was right after World War II. And the menu was completely strange to me.All I knew about sweet potatoes and yams was what I gleaned from "Gone With the Wind."
