Everyday Celebrations -- The closeness of family, the beauty of the seasons, laughter among friends, the festivity of a shared meal—why wait for the holidays to count our blessings and mark them by rejoicing? Donata Maggipinto, lifestyle contributor for NBC's Today show, reawakens our appreciation for all that has meaning in life in Everyday Celebrations and shares her sensational craft and food recipes to create heartwarming gatherings at home. Whether it's a spring garden celebration with asparagus and basil frittatas or creating bejeweled star ornaments in winter, each thoughtful/creative/clever touch and mmmm-inspiring recipe takes advantage of seasonal ingredients and materials to capture a distinct moment in time. Sparkling with style and great ideas, this entertaining book will make every day a special occasion, and every get-together a celebration.
