Anecdotes, Jane TalksTranslationsCookbook
Holiday Desserts resemble a date with that special flirt. With the first taste, you dissolve like a snowflake.

A festive party theme of flowers and décor sets the stage for your guests to get involved in your food, each other, and you.
Laughter and joyous throngs, parties and loving mirth,

Exaltation in Holiday Song creates togetherness then on earth!

Dedication: These Holiday Desserts are dedicated to my eternally memorable mother. Beauty was her life force. Totally, and with color creations of flowers and food-functionally coordinated and displayed with rhythmic merriment and elegance-decorating was food for her soul. In an exhibition reminiscent of Luxury Homes & Gardens, she wrapped one up in the musical whirl of her delivery.

Her diva-like, and incredibly vivid party displays are still, and always will be, Something to Sing About!
