Holiday Recipes: Turkey, Pies, Cookies and Turrón
Holiday cooking is mostly about planning. These recipes list the make-ahead steps and the storage times, so you can bake the cookies and pies days in advance and keep the day itself for the turkey.
The collection covers both the American autumn table (turkey, pumpkin pie, apple pie) and the Spanish Christmas and Epiphany sweets (turrón, roscón de Reyes).
