More about the book:
With menus for festive moments throughout the whole year, you'll always know what to serve. Babs bestows upon you 100 of her family-favorite recipes—passed down from family and friends through the generations, recorded on tattered and torn recipe cards, and all stored in her old wooden recipe box. She also shares the holiday traditions her family has grown to love so you can pass them down to your family, too, and elevate all of life’s gatherings into memorable occasions.
From little party hacks and entertaining tips, hosting the holidays will become less stressful and more meaningful. Celebrate with Babs will insert itself at the center of all of your gatherings for generations.
From FOOD52: "You may know Barbara Costello from her charming and helpful social media presence, @brunchwithbabs—now, everyone can welcome Babs to their holiday table with her approachable, family-friendly recipes. She may not actually be your grandma, but with her holiday recipes, she’ll become an honorary member of the family."
