The holidays are a time of cooking, eating, feasting, sharing and celebrating with food.  For most people food is far more than the calories we consume, it is bound up with culture, tradition, family, history, provenance, lifestyle, place, and identity.  Celebrate the holidays with Your Library and a read a book about FOOD:
