Louisiana Cookin'

Elegant Holiday Feast

Whatever the occasion, these crowd-pleasing recipes will make for a party your guests won’t soon forget. Instead of turkey or ham, try a whole chicken cooked with lemon, garlic, and olive salad for a main dish that’s packed with flavor. Plus, we’ve included fresh takes on appetizers and side dishes, like Pickled Shrimp, roasted Brussels sprouts with spicy peppers, and salad with crispy andouille sausage and a bright lemon vinaigrette. And we couldn’t forget dessert and drinks! Freshly baked Danish and fizzy pomegranate mojitos will keep the holiday cheer going all night long.
