"From the author of Dinner: A Love Story and Dinner: The Playbook. More than one hundred recipes and a host of inspiring ideas for turning birthdays, holidays, and everyday occasions into cherished traditions. Big celebrations: Valentine's Day dinners, Mother's Day brunches, Thanksgiving feasts, as well as the little ones: A platter of deluxe nachos on Super Bowl Sunday or a bowl of creamy mashed potatoes after every braces-tightening session. Whether simple or elaborate, daily or annually, these rituals bring comfort, connection, and meaning to everyday family life. Recipes are organized into groupings familiar to everyone: Our Family Rituals (think tomato sandwiches for lunch after a family walk to the market, or homemade popovers on sleepover mornings); Holidays We Didn't Invent, including Friday Challah and Easter Ham (yes, both, more on that inside); a Halloween Launch Party for trick-or-treaters, featuring a self-serve simmering pot of Chicken Chorizo Chili. A section on Birthdays includes Rosenstrach's legendary chocolate frosted "mud" cake as well as a one-size-fits-all party planner with menus that do not rely on pizza. Lastly, in Family Dinners you'll find celebratory Sunday meals (Soy-Glazed Grilled Pork Chops, HarissaRoasted Chicken, Summer Cobbler) alongside easy weeknight fare (Crispy Chickpeas and Yogurt, Shrimp Tacos with Avocado "Butter," and vegetable-packed Burrito Bowls)--all of which translate to prime quality time with the family. Slow down, capture the moments that matter - and eat well while doing it"--Provided by publisher.
