No other time of year is as festive or as rich in food traditions as November and December, from the turkey and sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving to the cookies and roasts that anchor the Christmas table. We wanted to bring you the flavors you crave: chocolate and spice, pumpkin and sage, citrus and cranberry. Our menu had to feature distinctly New England dishes, calling on traditional fare such as brown bread and fruit-studded Christmas cakes. But we also wanted to tailor each one to appeal to modern sensibilities (and time restrictions). And so we bring you 20 fresh-but-familiar recipes from our kitchen, each a reason to celebrate the season.
