Holiday cooking is a great way to show family and friends that they hold a place in your heart. Great recipes and menus will surprise and delight both young and old, and there is nothing like impressing the in-laws with your superlative efforts.

We have put together a couple of Christmas Menus, including an Elegant Dinner Menu and a Down-Home Menu. The ideas for these come from works by the famous classic authors, Charles Dickens and Laura Ingalls Wilder.

For Thanksgiving we have a classic menu that includes turkey with all the trimmings, with the recipes, helping you to excel whether this is your first thanksgiving as the cook or whether you have been providing the feast for years.

This Halloween we take a peek on a scene from Harry Potter where 13 set down to a table, and it includes a shocking item, tripe! We also have a more traditionally scary menu, in case you are not a Potter fan.

For our 4th of July menu we chose a big "surprise", Bar-B-Que. Everyone will love this, with pork chops and corn-on-the-cob, how can you go wrong? Just remember when you are standing around the grill to stay out of the politics of barbecue.

Valentines Day is one of those days where the guys always need more help than the gals, so we have created a special from him to her menu. But we also have one for the gals as well.

If you have success with one of our menus or recipes, be sure to drop us a line.
