Cookbook Has Air of Nostalgia

I truly enjoyed To Every Season: A Family Holiday Cookbook. The book encompasses recipes for 16 major American holidays, including Christmas, Mother's Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. I found the prefaces to each holiday section fascinating and filled with delightful historical tidbits. The book has wonderful multicultural leanings with its inclusion of recipes for Passover, Kwanzaa, and Chanukah. I would have liked to have seen more recipes that could be made by or with children. The book caters more to adult tastes and preferences than to those of children. Children will enjoy the pictures and reading about the different holiday traditions.
