By offering many full menus, A Taste of Tradition, makes holiday meal planning easy and fun, covering everything from luscious canap s and hors d'oeuvres to mouth-watering desserts, with exciting and manageable dinner dishes in between. A Taste of Tradition was written in Los Angeles, while the author's husband served as an Israeli Diplomat. Sirkis, being the wife of a diplomat, was frequently organizing social functions, from intimate dinners at her home to widely attended receptions.
