Chef Melanie Dunkelman has cooked for a lot of people — Justin Trudeau, heads of European countries — so she’s a pro when it comes to making an impressive meal. “My friend once counted the dishes I made for a party: it was 21 things! It’s food that makes people feel good, so not too salty or fatty. Food just inspires me. I go to the market, pick up an ingredient, and it speaks to me — I’ve even been known to dance with a squash!” says Melanie. Join her in the kitchen and get her recipes for holiday entertaining.
