Hot off the stove! It’s issue #16 of The Infinite Feast, with my newest recipes and fan favorites, delights for your holiday table, and a helping of history for today’s cook.

A vintage-style tropical feast collage featuring deviled eggs, a glazed roast, colorful fruit, guests in Hawaiian shirts, and a glamorous dark-haired woman.

Happy National Deviled Egg Day to all who celebrate. My classic "Oeufs Diablo" will be a welcome kickoff for your upcoming Turkey Day feast.

Speaking of which, I’ll help jump-start your seasonal planning today with T-Day menus from the legendary James Beard. We've got his 1954 West Coast and Yankee menu ideas from 1954.
