Many people enjoy seasonal cooking. It makes sense, and it's practical, as many fruits and vegetables are freshest during a particular season. When it comes to winter, think of apples, oranges and meats with comforting gravies. And, of course, plenty of hot soups and stews. It's all rich and flavorful and warms us down to the bone. Undoubtedly, winter is the time of year when we mostly eat fewer salads and more hot vegetables. We drink fewer iced drinks and more warm drinks. Of course, winter is filled with holidays, from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Hanukkah to Christmas. There is always an excuse to prepare special dishes we rarely enjoy during the rest of the year. You'll find all the holiday recipes you need here in the Seasonal Winter Recipe Cookbook. Make the most of the winter season delectably warm and keep your family warm and cozy with the recipes in the Seasonal Winter Recipe Cookbook.
