description: From the creator of the popular blog and book Dinner: A Love Story and author of the New York Times bestseller Dinner: The Playbook comes a warm and inviting guide with more than one hundred time-tested recipes and a host of inspiring ideas for turning birthdays holidays and everyday occasions into cherished traditions. Families crave rituals says Jenny Rosenstrach and by rituals she means not just the big celebrationsValentines Day dinners Mothers Day brunches Thanksgiving feastsbut the little ones we may not even realize are rituals: A platter of deluxe nachos on Super Bowl Sunday or a bowl of creamy mashed potatoes after every braces-tightening session. Whether simple or elaborate daily or annually these rituals all serve the same purpose for Rosenstrach: to bring comfort connection and meaning to everyday family life. Recipes here are organized into groupings unique to Rosenstrach but familiar to everyone: Our Family Rituals (think tomato sandwiches for lunch after a family walk to the market or homemade popovers on sleepover mornings); Holidays We Didnt Invent including Friday Challah and Easter Ham (yes both more on that inside); a Halloween Launch Party for trick-or-treaters featuring a self-serve simmering pot of Chicken Chorizo Chili. A section on Birthdays includes Rosenstrachs legendary chocolate frosted mud cake as well as a one-size-fits-all party planner with menus that do not rely on pizza. Lastly in Family Dinners youll find celebratory Sunday meals (Soy-Glazed Grilled Pork Chops Harissa Roasted Chicken Summer Cobbler) alongside Rosenstrachs signature easy weeknight fare (Crispy Chickpeas and Yogurt Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Butter and vegetable-packed Burrito Bowls)all of which translate to prime quality time with the family. In this digital overscheduled age How to Celebrate Everything helps families slow down capture the moments that matterand eat well while doing it.From the Hardcover edition.
