“Happy Holidays from the Diva of Do-Ahead”

Don’t wait until the day before Thanksgiving to start preparing the feast. The “Diva of Do-Ahead” has been teaching classes with stress-busting holiday get-ahead recipes for 15 years. She’s compiled a year of feasts into this new cookbook. The menu for each holiday includes a do-ahead countdown for the refrigerator and the freezer. There are also tips for serving, using the slow cooker and variations on the recipes.
