Feast (Hardcover) by Lawson, Nigella

2005 James Beard Award Nominee - Entertaining and Special Occasions

The domestic goddess dishes up her favorite foods for entertaining year-round with family and friends.

Nigella Lawson, Gourmet magazine's It Girl, New York Times Dining In columnist, and bestselling cookbook author, is celebrating life -- and you're invited. Feast, Nigella's most festive book yet, offers savory, spicy, and delicious recipes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, Eid, New Year's, Passover, Easter gatherings, and any time you want to celebrate food and life. This book is filled with festive recipes, and in it, Nigella offers tips, tricks, and shortcuts that will ensure you dine with ease, style, and fun. Feast also includes some surprising gems, like Nigella's Chocolate Cake Hall of Fame, her best cheeseburger, and even a whole section entitled Fast, full of food to create after you have overindulged. And like her other cookbooks, Feast is a cookbook that will be treasured all year long.
