Jerry’s Festive Recipes

Kind words from Jerry’s table

Readers who cook from these books, in their own kitchens, in their own words.

(01)

Marisol A.Cooks from the holiday book

I cooked the entire Thanksgiving menu from Jerry's holiday book, timeline and all, and it was the first year I sat down to eat with everyone else. The make-ahead list alone is worth the price of the book.

(02)

David K.Weeknight cook, two kids

The weeknight chapters are what I reach for on a Tuesday. Everyday ingredients from my normal shop, on the table in forty minutes, and my eight-year-old asks for the lentil bake by name.

(03)

Sarah M.Bakes from the lighter collection

I bake for a living and still learned something here. Less sugar, more flavour, and the olive oil citrus cake has become the thing everyone asks me to bring to a party.

(04)

Priya R.Cooks for a full house

I bought the holiday book for the roast and stayed for the sides. My mother-in-law asked for the Brussels sprouts recipe twice, which in our family counts as a small miracle.

(05)

Tom & Ellen B.Retired, cooking for two

We cook for two now, and the festive menus scale down beautifully. Nothing tastes like a compromise, and the leftovers have become our favourite lunches.

(06)

Aisha N.New cook, first kitchen

I learned to cook from these pages. The steps explain why things work, not just what to do, so I can finally improvise without opening a book.
