Sometimes, the best meals are made up of a bunch of small plates. The Artichoke, Mushroom, and Leek Crostini With Pesto from my book (p. 204) is great anytime and insanely delicious! If you haven't had it yet, it's a must! And the Thin Mushroom Pizzas (p. 220) are always good. These Crispy Tofu Slices (p. 158) might be nice for the holidays too:

Hey quick question, how do you pre-bake the tofu? (It says use baked tofu...?) Bake it as a whole block? I want to make this dish this week...thanks! -
I just made this last night and it was wonderful! Oddly, I felt like I was eating french toast. I made the braised daikon for a side dish. I swear, this was the best meal! (Of course, I think I've said that about every recipe of Alicia's I've tried!) -
Perfect for an appetizer! I made this a few nights ago for a few friends that came over and suffice to say- this was the first dish that was gobbled up! I actually ended up using olive oil instead of Safflower oil (My local Traders Joes didn't have it for some reason?) and also ran out of maple so replaced it with agave syrup for the dipping sauce...But regardless it tasted great!

I had this last night and loved it! I substituted the brown rice flour for organic whole wheat, and found it very filling and satisfying. I actually was able to convince my 7 year old to try it and he liked it too! My two year old...not so much.
