Walker (Against All Grain), whose need for dietary restrictions led to a personal culinary journey, refashions celebratory dishes for 12 yearly occasions. In 125 recipes, Walker show cooks how to prepare holiday favorites while meeting paleo-style requirements, transforming them into something as treasured as any traditional dish. The year of special event party menus begins with all-night New Year's Eve nibbles such as maple-chili-glazed shrimp wrapped in prosciutto and a cranberry-festooned red wine gimlet cocktail. The "Game Day" section serves up gluten- and dairy-free Buffalo wings and cauliflower bites, green chile chicken soup, and football-shaped whoopie pies. There's a romantic dinner for two of short ribs braised in cabernet and kid-friendly heart-shaped treats for Valentine's Day. An Easter brunch features leg of lamb with lavender-rosemary bouquet, asparagus prosciutto tart, and honey- and blood orangeâglazed ham. Mother's and Father's Day, baby and bridal showers, birthday parties, Halloween,Thanksgiving, and Christmas menus present classic dishes, modified but still full of flavor. Walker provides a special diet index, glossary of ingredients and substitutions, and paleo basics (sauces, pastry, stocks, and dressings) with "tidbits" on storage and uses.

Best-selling author Walker (Against All Grain; Meals Made Simple) returns with a stylish collection of grain-free, dairy-free, and Paleo menus that can help eaters following restrictive diets to feel less deprived of their favorite holiday and party foods. In 12 occasion-based chapters (e.g., New Year's Eve Cocktail Party, Halloween), she offers recipes for appetizers, beverages, mains, sides, and desserts. Walker never substitutes the principal dish of a meal for a disappointing alternative; the Child's Birthday Party menu includes six choices of cake, and the Christmas menu features a gingerbread house. These recipes (e.g., cranberry gingerbread cake) can call for many specialty ingredients, which won't surprise the book's intended audience. VERDICT Vegan and vegetarian holiday cookbooks are plentiful, but there are far fewer for other special diets. Pair this title with Simone Miller and Jennifer Robins's The New Yiddish Kitchen; both are great choices.
