The Festive Table: Recipes and Stories for Creating Your Own Holiday Traditions
by Ronni Lundy Northpoint Press
In this deliciously readable book, Ronni Lundy talks to people across the
country who have come up with new ways to celebrate, whether they are
continuing old traditions with a new twist, as in a Chinese-inspired Rosh
Hashanah; or making up traditions from scratch, as in a hot-dish potluck to
beat the winter doldrums. Lundy takes you through the highlights of the
year and an enormous range of cuisines, from a New Year's tamale-making
party in El Paso and a Chicago style Polish Easter, to a classic soul food
supper for Juneteenth and a Fourth of July Baltimore style crab feast.
