ABOUT THE BOOK
An anthology reflecting the memories, joyful festivities, and bright spots of those who earn their living while playing with food. 366 Menus of Celebrations is a choose-your-own-adventure expressed through menus of silly food holidays, pop culture, historical touchstones, traditions of yore, and the flavors dreams are made of.
Through the rollercoaster of life and the never-ending news cycle, finding reasons to celebrate can be hard. All the more reason to indulge, embrace, learn, and both preserve and evolve our common gastronomic and cultural traditions. With a year if joyful menus—including Leap Day!—plus recipes and historical facts sprinkled liberally within its scrumptious pages. There’s plenty to be shared with loved ones.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hillary Lauren is a 5th generation chef with a passion for seasonality, sustainability, and raising awareness of the impact of food security. Her culinary endeavors developed over countless hours perched on her grandma EdyeBelle's kitchen counter scribbling notes, or cutting curly fries and syruping rainbows on snow cones at her family's cafes in Idaho.
This foundational joy was honed at the Culinary Institute of America in New York, refined at Bouchon Bakery and Swanson Vineyard in Napa Valley, explored while with Bon Appetit at Google's Mountain View headquarters, and creatively driven after developing food allergies in the midst of her culinary career. She supports others as a private chef, certified nutrition coach, and consultant—forever curious to learn more about the healing powers of food.
