From Publishers Weekly
"Putting up" preserves is one of the oldest culinary traditions, and Lupi, an Italian food editor, and Sorzio, head chef of a Venice hotel, serve up the gamut of centuries-old favorites, including orange-and-lemon marmalade, grape jelly, raspberry preserves, dried apples, canned tomatoes and pickles. This exhaustive guide, accompanied by tempting color photographs and illustrations, also offers less standard items like curried leeks, citron marmalade, fruit preserved in liquor and syrup, and with flowers (rose petal and apple preserves), and vegetable preserves (carrot and tomato jams). A small caveat is that some of the more exotic fruits and vegetables are difficult to procure. Beginners will enjoy the valuable preserving tips and sample step-by-step recipes (grapes in grappa, artichokes in light brine, cauliflower in oil, button mushrooms in vinegar, sweet-sour onions, etc.).

'Tis the Season to Indulge Joyfully
Season's Greetings! The words themselves bring to mind pictures of family gatherings, stores decorated with garlands and lights, traditional holiday songs, beautifully wrapped presents under a tree and, of course, the wonderful and unforgettable smells coming from the kitchen.
It is during this time of year that once-a-year foods are prepared with an extra ounce of love for family and friends.
It doesn't matter whether you're the one planning and cooking the special meal or one of the lucky ones who simply enjoys the scrumptious tastes and smells--there's something about the holiday season that brings childlike excitement to both adult and youngsters.
"Season's Greetings" shows how to carry on holiday traditions in a changing world. For many, this classic cookbook is a tradition in itself. It's a cookbook for novice hosts who wonder how on earth they're going to feed the hordes of hungry relatives and friends. It's a cookbook for busy parents who wonder how to recreate the holiday excitement they remember from their own childhoods.
Marlene Sorosky has created a rich assortment of classic and innovative recipes that will make all your holidays memorable, offering menus that bring them all together, as well as ideas for charming decorations and delectable gifts.
Whether you're longing to recapture that time-honored holiday spirit or to invent some new family customs, you'll find delicious inspirations in "Season's Greetings."
The one great thing about this cookbook is that it serves both the palette and the eyes, for it is beautifully illustrated with fabulous photographs by veteran photographer Geoffrey Nilsen.
The contents covers such topics as: Fruitcakes, spirits, liqueurs and vinegars, pies, tea, holiday buffets, the night before Christmas dinner, and sweets from the sugar plum fairy.
Reader Reviews
I have owned this Holiday cookbook for at least 10 years and it's fantastic. I am now buying a copy for my parents 'cause they are hooked on a couple of recipes and want their own copy.
