review + recipe: baking style

November 29, 2011

When it comes to the holidays, I’m an unabashed traditionalist. I like the same food, the same traditions, and a predictable routine. Every year, voices in my favorite food magazines and online try to convince me otherwise with new-fangled turkey techniques and razzmatazz stuffing recipes.
