We've grown up this year -- and so have our goals.

A marvelous -- and marvelously delicious -- celebration that, as always, comes together in just about an hour.

What changed for the world of food in 2012? Plenty!

Some things just go together -- and the obvious accompaniment to food is drink. Welcome to Booze52, in which we explore all manner of libations, from A to Z, that do much more than just wash down a meal.

Today: Toast the New Year, with a twist.

C is for Champagne Cocktail, which comes after M for Milk Punch in our world. It’s the holiday season, and we can drink what we want, right? New Years just isn’t the same without a toast. 

Eat better in 2013 with a fridge full of genius.

A creamy root vegetable puree without the heft.

Gold decor for a glimmering New Year's Eve.
