Peterson's Holiday Helper

by Valerie Peterson

holidayhelper.jpgPeterson's Holiday HelperA dear friend, Valerie Peterson, has published her second book and just in time for the holidays. Her first book extolled the virtues of cookies and gave detailed directions on the care and baking of the most imaginative cookies I've ever seen.

Now she has turned her sights on holiday drinks. She has written a funny, nostalgic handbook of holiday drinks called Peterson's Holiday HelperPeterson's Holiday Helper . Each drink has specific instructions with photographs that recall a more settled time. I recommend her book to anyone who wants to discover a new favorite drink or as a stocking-stuffer gift for the holidays. Peterson's Holiday Helper is a keeper.
