It's that a time of the year when food really does take front-and-center
attention, from the Thanksgiving turkey to champagne on New Year's Eve -- and
our chef-in-residence, Christie Seelye-King, is back to help us determine how to
put our best recipes forward for the rest of 2014 -- including how to do
gluten-free feasting that takes all the grief out of the Beef Burgundy and
problems out of the Pumpkin Pie!   (And just to prove that Christie knows her
stuff(ing), we've provided a shot of her in her holiday AlterEgo of Mrs. Santa
Claus!)
