Romans cook up eels, Salzburgers shoot off guns, Germans buy "prune people" at markets, Norwegian kids hope to win marzipan pigs, and Parisians ice-skate on the Eiffel TowerWith thoughtful insights, vibrant photos, and more than a dozen recipes, this great gift book captures the spirit of the season.
