Review of A Cook's Notebook: Christmas Lobster

Ah, the holidays… Here's an enjoyable, non-sappy, shared experience of a not uncommon holiday dilemma in families of combined religiosity. Berlow reflects on a Christmas dinner past, and in a short span gently touches on a range of blended family holiday “stuff.” No recipe for food, but a satisfying sampling of life in one holiday kitchen that left me musing on the contortions necessary to get through the season in one piece.
