Just in time for the holidays, it’s the zen kitchen’s first annual Holiday Survival Kit! This handy-dandy PDF is full of worksheets and tools - some practical and some downright silly - that’ll help you get through some of the most common family holiday dilemmas, including:

• Planning and cooking the usual many-course meal;
• Navigating the many (many) stops you’ll need to make to family during the holiday;
• Trying to remember who that random uncle is who remembers you when you were “this high;”
• Dealing with those *ahem* uncomfortable questions that are bound to pop up.

You can download the full PDF here, and print out only the pages you really need to make your holidays work. Happy holidays!

She attributes her success to her consultative approach with her clients.
