Kris's Letter
"My friends, family, and I love to cook, so my recipe for slowing down and savoring the season is to use my kitchen as a place to gather people together. We spend hours pouring over recipes, formulating menus, drinking wine, and creating amazing dishes. Everyone falls into their niches: choppers, stirrers, cleaners, bartenders. It's my little holiday 'hen house' filled with laughter, great conversation, and delicious-smelling food."
