Christmas
The Christmas table, planned backward from dinner time. The roast, the sides, the cookie tray, and the timing plan that gets them all to the table together.
The first tested holiday recipes are in the kitchen now. The desserts and baking collections below already carry the cookie and sweet recipes that hold a holiday tray together.
This collection is just starting out. Every recipe below is complete and checked, and more land here every week.

Who it is for
Anyone hosting Christmas dinner for the first time or the fifteenth. The timing plans are written as a countdown, not a hope.

Questions cooks actually ask
How far ahead can I bake Christmas cookies?
Most cookies freeze well for a month, and bar doughs hold 3 days refrigerated. The baking recipes state their windows.
When do I start the roast?
Work backward from serving time and add the rest. The holiday roast recipes include the minute by minute countdown.
