A Halloween Dinner Party

Holiday season is coming up.

We’re not quite there yet, but as the sun stays out for a shorter time each day, and leaves fall from trees, we can’t help but let our minds wander to a time that is always filled with good food and friends. So, let’s start with the closest one: Halloween. It may not be known for its table spreads as much as Thanksgiving or Christmas, but it’s still a good excuse to get the party going.

In the 1960s, Sunset published a dinner party book. The menu for October 31 is, well, orange (with the exception of a decidedly “green” salad on the side). It features carrot soup, savory cheese pie, and a spicy orange sundae (vanilla ice cream topped with oranges, ginger, cinnamon and raisins).
