The Festival Cookbook celebrates the rich variety of the seasons. The recipes it contains demonstrate the earth's bounty: In the Springtime, try Asparagus Ham Bake, Rhubarb Torte, and Hot Cross Buns! For Summertime, there are Sweet-Sour Tomatoes and Peaches 'n Cream Cheese Cake. During the Autumn, how about Pumpkin Shell Fruit Salad and Apple Dumplings in a Casserole? Through the Winter have some Honey Oatmeal Bread and Cranberry Christmas Pudding. The Festival Cookbook's recipes are never difficult but always above the ordinary. The ingredients are fresh, but never hard to find. The brightness in these dishes comes from nature itself! Make them, and the earth's fullness will transfer to your table. When the meals call for a special touch -- or the season sings out for particular attention -- try these festive dishes! Each Festival Cookbook recipe offers a brightness or an extra idea that lifts it above the usual. Not because the mixtures are exotic.

Not because the procedures are delicate and complex. But because the fresh ingredients are given unusual preeminence. The earth's bounty is celebrated in every combination. May you find much warmth and satisfaction in this collection of favorites!.
