The FOOD52 Holiday Recipe & Survival Guide is Here!

We're thrilled to announce the arrival of the FOOD52 Holiday Recipe and Survival Guide! It's our first ever interactive book built for the iPad, crowd-sourced from the likes of you -- the mighty FOOD52 community -- and curated by Amanda & Merrill.

It hits the App Store just in time for Thanksgiving, but we've stocked it with recipes (75 of them!), plus menus, entertaining tips, and how-to videos to be your security blanket through Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's and beyond.

We did our best to think of every holiday snafu that might cause you stress, and make it better. Your vegan or gluten-free cousin-in-law's step-brother is coming to dinner? We've got you covered. Need a simple last-minute side? 17 recipes with 5-ish ingredients are at your beck and call. Out of ideas for edible gifts? We're not!

Buy the app here.(We think it's worth it just to watch Amanda & Merrill tackle building a gingerbread house.)

We'll be featuring samples of the app all week -- first up: see below for outtakes from our intensive three days of video shoots, shot by our friend Drew Lavyne of Six Minute Stories.
