Tired of bringing wine as a hostess gift? Why not try beer? Hallie Beaune of the Beer Chicks suggests holiday beers that will rival your best bottle of wine. And speaking of wine, have you tried glögg? Deep End Diner Eddie Lin attends the Swedish Christmas Festival in Los Angeles and gets a taste of the mulled spiced wine. Jonathan Gold introduces us to a bäco. Celia Sack, owner of Omnivore Books on Food, dishes on her favorite cookbooks of 2011 and Evan talks to one of her favorite cookbook authors, Zoe Francois, about how to make pizza in just five minutes a day. Plus, Texas Agricultural Commissioner Todd Staples discusses the effects of the largest drought in Texas history.
