After all that Thanksgiving recipe coverage, we're ready to hit the kitchen for some good old-fashioned fall-to-winter food. We love adding new latkes to our Hanukkah repertoires, and seasonal spaghetti squash really does the trick. Roast a hearty, spiced-up Spanish roast chicken and make an easy caramelized apple tarte tatin for dessert. Master dashi stock and make delicious, warming Japanese dishes all season long.

Longtime friends Colin Spoelman and David Haskell did what many dudes dream of doing: The duo took over the oldest distillery in the country and have been producing fine quality moonshine or as it is often called -  “white whiskey” - for the last three years. Colin - originally from Kentucky - started distilling as a way to combat his homesickness. We sat down to discuss what it takes to start distilling your own whisky, and how to keep the business running smoothly.

Sip some limited edition ales at Portland’s Holiday Ale Festival or get in line for your share of roast pig at Made in the South Weekend in Charleston. Grab your favorite food truck snack and watch some Folklorico dancing at the Indio International Tamale Festival, and if you’re still hungry, Meadowood Estate in Napa Valley is cooking up not one, but 12 festive meals.
