'CREATE A FEAST WITH FABULOUS FESTIVE FOOD'

C.J. Jackson gives us all we need for preparing feasts to remember. Her creative menus of wonderful seasonal food will help us celebrate popular feast days, festivals, high days and holidays throughout the year. And she enriches the celebrations with fascinating – and sometimes forgotten – background on our traditions and customs.

Although C.J. has taught and written about food for many years, she still loves to cook for friends and family. For her, preparing a meal is all about a shared experience – an essential time for communicating, relating and laughing. It's a celebration of life and our humanity; a time to catch up with old friends and meet new ones; and opportunity to relax, enjoy companionship and indulge in good food.

'The Times Food for Feasts and Festivals' focuses not only on the many known feasts but on some that are lesser known. It also provides menus for the day-to-day family celebrations that we all so enjoy, such as christenings, weddings , anniversaries, birthdays and thanksgivings. The nearly 200 recipes – whether traditional hot cross buns for Easter or Boxing Day's turkey, stilton and cranberry crumble – are written in clear, easy-to-understand format for guaranteed results of fun and festivity.
