Description:
The meaning of family and holiday tradition has shifted over time until many of us are no longer sure what it is. We know simply that we want and need both. To help us recreate holiday rituals with personal resonance, Ronni Lundy, in The Festive Table, summarizes the essential, primal energy underlying 11 major holidays from Thanksgiving and Passover to Kwanzaa and Easter, plus lesser occasions. Sharing her own history plus traditions gleaned from interviewing other families, she presents a world of ways to celebrate holidays. Food as a festive meal plays a key role in all of them, as much a part of the spiritual experience as it is sustenance. As details of each family's traditions accumulate, remarkable similarities within our varied religious, cultural and individual traditions emerge, along with quirky, culinary uniqueness. To someone, somewhere, it's just not New Year's Eve or Rosh Hashonnah or the annual pig roast without tamales, won tons perfumed with tangerine zest, pickled ginger mayonnaise or some other dish unimaginable to anyone outside that tradition.
