This traditional Christmas Eve dinner, also called La Vigilia, features at least seven seafood courses, paying homage to the seven sacraments of the Roman Catholic church. Here you’ll find briny baccalà, quick-cooking clams, San Francisco’s favorite seafood stew, and more. |
This Italian rainbow cookie recipe produces a buoyant, sophisticated confection with deep almond flavor. Customize it by swapping seedless raspberry preserves for the apricot; dye the cake layers in an ombré of red or green for Christmas; or ditch the gel food coloring entirely so the entire almond cake retains its natural creamy hue. |
