New Florida Traditions
December 2006As most of my memories from childhood go, the holidays can be so much fun but yet hectic at the same time. Family members gather to enjoy each other's company and, of course, good food. For me, the kitchen was always at the center of this, the main area of the house where raw ingredients, dedication and imagination come together to create, dishes that were worth the year's wait. In my family it's not just the women who are responsible for such a feast, it is in the interest of everyone, including the children to contribute.
In my world I like to invoke timeless flavors with untraditional dishes, like Yucatan spiced turkey with spicy chipotle gravy. This year take this time to try something a little different. Sure, turkey and stuffing is what we all look forward to; I must admit, I crave it also. However I also like to switch things up from time to time. I believe that's why people love to dine with me because the only tradition is to create a new one every year.
Here are a few recipe suggestions for you to start a new tradition for your family.
