Nixon, Lindsay S.

Nixon promises no-nonsense, no-weird-ingredient cooking, and she delivers. Although fans may recognize some repeat recipes from the author's previous works, this is still well worth checking out for her spin on celebratory meals. Vegan foodies may find the simple approach uninspiring but have several other excellent titles to turn to, such as Joy Pierson et al's Vegan Holiday Cooking from Candle Café, Nava Atlas's Vegan Holiday Kitchen, and Jennifer Katzinger's Gluten-Free and Vegan Holidays.
