Fare Exchange: Reader shares some recipes for a home-cooked holiday

Good morning, friends. As happens with Fare Exchange, and with special-occasion cooking, one works ahead. And what makes the most delicious table, the most inspired combination, when you get Your People together?

That takes a conversation, and here is today’s conversation starter.

Ann Viamonte sent a recipe from Dalton, and ended with this line: “Thank you for encouraging people to cook their own food.”

That got me thinking. Would Ms. V share her home-cooked holiday plans?

Why, yes. And this morning, to give you plenty of time for menu planning and new idea adapting and shopping, we’ll talk 100% festive holiday meal, in the hands of Ann Viamonte.
