A Time to Celebrate

Festive recipes from the Wall Street Journal bestselling author whose books "continue his exploration and celebration of Southern grace and style" (Vie Magazine).

 


In the South, weddings, showers, birthdays, retirements and high holidays, along with many of life's milestones and seasonal splendors, all lend themselves to celebrations. Even the luxury of a Sunday evening at home with family—and friends considered to be family—can be a cause for a feast. Through luscious signature recipes, stories and gorgeous photography, Farmer, known as "a Martha Stewart of the South," and friends show us what Southern hospitality is all about. From society weddings to Lowcountry boils, second birthdays to Christmas parties, you'll be guided through the menu planning and preparations to pull off celebrations that will be talked about for years.


 

Praise for James T. Farmer and his books

 

"A Southern gentleman who's just as charming in the garden as he is in the kitchen. He's compiled all his botanical experiences into A Time to Plant."—Harper's Bazaar

 


"A Time to Cook, A Time to Plant and A Time to Celebrate are titles of three of his books that inspire readers to cultivate, decorate and salivate over their own efforts in the kitchen. His books contain descriptive text combined with colorful photographs and garden-to-table recipes."—The Virginian-Pilot
