As a head chef in a private club, I’m either cooking or thinking about cooking for most of my waking hours. So what do I do when the holidays roll around and I want special time with my family? Cook, of course. My wife is a chef as well—my pastry chef, in fact—so cooking is truly a family affair. When I was asked to design a special holiday menu for The Herb Companion, my thoughts turned to our own family celebrations, where parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and various offspring create standing-room-only festivities, and the feasting can go on for hours.
