Holidays and celebrations mean foods that require a personal touch. The chefs of The Culinary Institute of America have opened up their very own recipe files for you to explore in preparing these special meals for special times. In this volume, they are happy to include not only the secret recipe files of their Hyde Park, New York, campus, but for the very first time those from their new Greystone campus in St.Helena, California, as well. Whether from the East or West Coast, all the recipes illustrate their basic philosophy of serving local, fresh, and seasonal ingredients with care and enthusiasm.
