Sober Celebrations

On the Heels of her ground-breaking, award winning Sober Kitchen cookbook, Chef Liz Scott serves up this “must-have” innovative guide to holiday and special occasion entertaining for anyone who chooses to celebrate alcohol-free. With 25 diverse menus and 150 delicious recipes, Chef Liz proves that festivity and fun can be effortlessly achieved without a drop of alcohol. Included are creative, sober ingredient substitutions for use in classic holiday dishes, alcohol-free beverage pairings for every course, and abundant tips and suggestions for simple and imaginative party hosting that will guarantee an atmosphere of liveliness and “high spirits.” Beautifully photographed throughout, Sober Celebrations is a unique and dazzling cookbook that addresses the needs of a health-conscious audience.

A unique, one of a kind cookbook that addresses an ever-increasing health issue for Americans. An invaluable tool for the host who may need to accommodate, either entirely or in part, for specific needs, tastes, and preferences of guests who avoid alcohol in their diet permanently or temporarily. In addition to those in recovery, potential abstainers include medically restricted people (diabetics, those with medicine conflicts, pregnant women, those with liver or kidney issues) and religious abstainers, children, and those who don’t like the taste and/or effect.

“Sober Celebrations is a visually stunning book that entertains and educates - in fact, it’s indespensible for both those learning to cook and culinary professionals. I will definitely incorporate these recipes into the meals and cooking classes that we offer here at Hazelden. What a great way to celebrate sobriety!”

-Joe Zahner, Executive Chef and Food Services Director, The Hazelden Foundation

“Liz Scott is one of those serendipities of sober living who brings flavor to life in more ways than one. Sober Celebrations supports the notion that good taste and good cheer are alcohol-dependent.”

-Johnny W. Allem, President/CEO, Johnson Institute

“I often turn to cookbooks when I need party ideas. Liz Scott’s Sober Celebrations is the first cookbook that actually made me want to throw a party. Cooking from this book is like having a good friend standing next to you in the kitchen, giving you a pep talk.”

-Gail Bellamy, Managing Editor/Food Editor of Restaurant Hospitality magazine
