As the weather begins to cool and the autumn leaves show off their gorgeous reds and golds, Stonewall Kitchen starts thinking about the holidays. "Stonewall Kitchen Winter Celebrations" brings you the best recipes for holiday entertaining, whether you are throwing an elegant cocktail party for close friends or inviting the extended family over for Christmas dinner. Add some pizzazz to your Thankgiving feast with updated side dishes like Mashed Parsnips and Pears and Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Nutmeg-Cardamom Cream and Pancetta Breadcrumbs. Celebrate Chanukah with a slow roasted Brisket with Winter Vegetables. Hold a holiday open house featuring Curried Maple Pecans and Indian-Spiced Meatballs with Yogurt and Mango Chutney. Or have a cozy night by the fire with a heartwarming bowl of Osso Buco with Orange Gremolata. Festive desserts like Four-Berry Crisp and a magnificent Chocolate-Mint Christmas Cake make a perfect ending to the festivities. Special seasonal assistance comes in the form of a roasting primer to ensure a perfectly cooked turkey or rib roast; a selection of instant holiday appetizers you can make by raiding your own pantry for those last minute get togethers; and suggestions for turning many of the recipes into tasty gifts for your loved ones.
