• Holiday Food: Easy snacks for guests to nibble on before dinner

  My suggestion is simple. Put out a relish dish with olives, raw vegetables and pickles. Alongside that, put out a small platter of goat cheese draped in an irresistible spicy-sweet jam concoction. My pal Judith Norton taught me how to make it in minutes.
