Christmas Cookies

Not cookies, but appropriate for the season.

My favorite Christmas cookbook is The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas by Jeff Smith. (Yes, I know he was disgraced, but I still like the cookbook.) In it, there are all sorts of recipes to celebrate Christmas during the Advent season or for the Christmas table. Among them:

Flower Salad for Mary: Put together a mixed green salad with edible flowers. Dress with a light vinaigrette. Mary is the “Flower of Heaven.”

For Joseph: Dates, Figs & Olives

For Baby Jesus: Milk and Honey; Birthday Cake

For the Angels: Angel Hair Pasta With a creamy sauce.

For the manger animals: Straw and Hay (Regular pasta and spinach pasta.)

there was something for the tax collectors, too, but I forget what it was. Bitter greens, maybe?
