A Savory Starter

You'll probably see a fair amount of meatballs being passed at holiday parties but none quite as extraordinary as Patricia Yeo's Duck Curry Meatballs which balance the richness of duck with light Asian flavors like lemongrass. This is also a gluten-free dish as the traditional breadcrumbs are replaced by quick cook oats. Clever.

Christmas on a Platter

Jason Bond of Beacon Hill Bistro, shows you how to grace the center of your holiday table with a beautiful Tea & Salt Cured Roasted Duck made with Hu-Kwa tea, a smoky tea with an historic connection to Boston. And Matt Jennings of La Laiterie in Providence, shows you a stuffing that is nutty, tart and full of texture. This stuffing may just become a holiday classic in your household.

Wine & Cocktails

Bring good cheer to your guests in the form of Sherry Eggnog or Silent Night Punch. This punch recipe is a twist on the classic (no fruity punch here). Not only does LUPEC Lady Kirsten Amann show you how to make this potent punch, but she also imparts a little knowledge on this punchbowl tradition. Want to give the gift of wine but overwhelmed by the options? Watch Lindsay Cohen help you choose the perfect wine.
