Holiday Feast Season

December

Holiday Feast Season arrives in December, when kitchens lean into slow roasts, celebratory bakes, and warming spices. Generous cuts like rib roasts, goose, and glazed ham take center stage, flanked by make-ahead sides, rich gravies, and bright relishes. Root vegetables, winter greens, citrus, nuts, and cranberries shine, while breads and pastries perfume the house. Plan menus early, brine or dry-brine big roasts, stagger oven times, and use a thermometer for stress-free timing. Mix a batch cocktail, set out pickles and sauces, and turn leftovers into sandwiches, hash, or pot pies for the days that follow.
