Holiday Entertaining

A Wood-Fire Party

December 4, 2011

We asked the Taste team for their best holiday party ideas, allowing them five items from the shop on us.

"Lots of fire, lots of wine, and lots of active cooking. That’s a great combo for a holiday party. So dust off the big Sorel Pac boots, trudge through the snow, and go schlep some wood." - Bryan Zupon
