A Little Taste of the Book
From Christmas in the Kitchen
Christmas kitchens are filled with memory. A familiar spice, a family recipe or the aroma of bread in the oven can bring an entire holiday season back to life. These puzzles celebrate the foods, preparation and hospitality that make Christmas tables memorable.
The collection moves from roasts, baking, cookies and candies through festive drinks, international traditions, banquets, food safety and responsible use of leftovers. Each theme receives two distinct puzzles so the book remains varied from beginning to end.
Take your time. Work in pencil or ink. When a term makes you curious, look it up, prepare it or share the tradition with someone else. A strong holiday kitchen should create both good food and good memories.
