HOLIDAY CATERING

WE ARE CLOSED ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25TH DECEMBER TRADITIONS

Every family has its own end-of-year traditions and—lucky for me—most of them include food. Now more than ever these traditions feel essential. The group may be smaller, the distances farther, but the impulse to be together is stronger than ever.

The ideas you’ll find here have stood the test of time. Generations of families, including my own, have enjoyed these recipes year after year. As long as we continue to keep these traditions, so will they keep us.

Winter is a time of rich and fragrant blooms, deep hues, and spicy aromas. That first whiff of evergreen is the surest harbinger of the holidays. Reds, from the deepest darkest roses to the palest pinkest lilies, and greens, accented by sparkly silver and gold, are colors that warm and lift the spirits and highlight the season’s character.

The plant world may be dormant this time of year, but Eli’s Flower Department is in full bloom. Dress up your home in bay and evergreen, mistletoe and holly and, less traditional but just as fragrant, rosemary topiary—use them as tabletop Christmas trees. We urge you to bring the holiday into your home with branches and berries, pots of narcissus, and wreaths of every description.
