Treasured family recipes bring us comfort every year, but the real magic lies in the memories made while sharing time with family in the kitchen. Style collected recipe cards from the community and prepared a sampling of holiday recipes from local folks, and the memories they’ve made over the years.
"Growing up in the snowy winters of the Sierras, you looked forward to coming inside to a kettle on the wood stove and a cup of something hot to drink. Mom always knew what would melt away the frosty afternoons." – Aaron Roseli
