Halloween Menus Loading . . . 🎃

Hot off the stove! It’s issue #14 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.

Halloween feast with glazed ham, salad, spooky cupcakes, pumpkins, and candles, joined by a hen and black cat, with the Taj Mahal at sunset in the background.

If you're trying to keep all your regular (crystal!) balls in the air this week, while planning Halloween season parties and sewing up costumes, you're gonna need a recipe or two for a busy day. My tried 'n true Chicken Tikka Masala is the family dish that'll keep your broomstick flyin' right on course.

Then, get your menu ideas cooking with 1969's "Complete Holiday" Halloween, make sure your cookware is oven-safe, AND don't forget to whip up some of my Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes for a sweet & sassy reward!

Now take a load off your feet, and let's all eat!
