Now that we're through Halloween and the spookiest time of year, all focus is now on the upcoming holiday season. If the candy and treats of Halloween is our appetizer, then Thanksgiving and Christmas are our main courses.

Many of us have friends and family over for the holiday season which means it's the best time to fix something up in the kitchen that everyone will enjoy.

These could be used if you're hosting a dinner party, want to impress your date, or even if you just want to up your cooking game. This is a fair warning though - practice a recipe before trying it for the first time... unless that first time is the date then maybe you'll have better luck.
