    Meet 4 Of Our Favorite
Local Chefs + Get A
Favorite Holiday Recipe
The sense of smell is cited as a most
effective trigger for memories. A whiff of
fragrance can send us reeling into roman-
tic thoughts, or perhaps elicit a shimmering
glimpse of the sheltered, cozy world of
childhood.
One of the hallmarks of holiday festivities is the
heart-melting scents wafting from the kitchen.
It almost doesn’t matter what’s in the oven:
cookies, cakes, scalloped potatoes or roasts —
we’re crazy about them all! The precise combi-
nation of spices and butter along with time and
talent wield the power to seduce and enchant.
To help launch this season of gathering and
feasting we’ve connected with some of our
favorite cooks (sisters and brothers, all) to share
their memories and the recipes that evoke them.
Whatever your religion or traditions, may this
season of sharing and celebration bring you
hope and joy. §
