NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 125 recipes for grain-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free comfort food dishes for holidays and special occasions

NAMED ONE OF THE FIVE BEST GLUTEN-FREE COOKBOOKS OF ALL TIME BY MINDBODYGREEN

When people adopt a new diet for health or personal reasons, they worry most about the parties, holidays, and events with strong food traditions, fearing their fond memories will be lost along with the newly eliminated food groups. After suffering for years with a debilitating autoimmune disease and missing many of these special occasions herself, Danielle Walker has revived the joy that cooking for holidays can bring in Danielle Walker's Against All Grain Celebrations, a collection of recipes and menus for twelve special occasions throughout the year.

Featuring a variety of birthday cakes, finger foods to serve at a baby or bridal shower, and re-creations of backyard barbecue standards like peach cobbler and corn bread, Danielle includes all of the classics. There’s a full Thanksgiving spread—complete with turkey and stuffing, creamy green bean casserole, and pies—and menus for Christmas dinner; a New Year's Eve cocktail party and Easter brunch are covered, along with suggestions for beverages and cocktails and the all-important desserts. Recipes can be mixed and matched among the various occasions, and many of the dishes are simple enough for everyday cooking. Stunning full-color photographs of every dish make browsing the pages as delightful as cooking the recipes, and beautiful party images provide approachable and creative entertaining ideas.

Making recipes using unfamiliar ingredients can cause anxiety, and while trying a new menu on a regular weeknight leaves some room for error, the meal simply cannot fail when you have a table full of guests celebrating a special occasion. Danielle has transformed her most cherished family traditions into trustworthy recipes you can feel confident serving, whether you’re hosting a special guest with food allergies, or cooking for a crowd of regular grain-eaters.

Even if, like me, this way of eating isn't a lifestyle for you, nothing feels like it's missing from these tried-and-true recipes. My body feels great, and my taste buds do, too. The pictures alone make you want to dive head first into her delicious world of abundance to celebrate all year long."
—Daphne Oz, TV host and bestselling author

Danielle Walker understands this so well, and with 125 mouthwatering recipes, she proves that no matter what we eat (or don’t eat), we never have to give up the joy of celebrating with food.”
—Andie Mitchell, New York Times bestselling author of It Was Me All Along and Eating in the Middle

"In 125 recipes, Walker show cooks how to prepare holiday favorites while meeting paleo-style requirements, transforming them into something as treasured as any traditional dish."
—Publishers Weekly

"Gluten- and dairy-free eaters, this is the fall cookbook for you. Walker shows you how to create delicious, comfort food classics—like Thanksgiving stuffing and vanilla birthday cupcakes—without using grains, dairy or gluten."
—People

"Danielle Walker has a grain-free, whole-foods based approach to cooking, and her Whole30 recipes have been longtime favorites of our community. In her new cookbook Celebrations, Danielle provides grain-free, allergy-friendly recipes for celebrating life's milestones and special moments. This cookbook is the perfect compliment to support your food freedom in your life after Whole30, as you enjoy time spent around the table with family and friends."
- Melissa Hartwig, New York Times bestselling author

"Healthy options for holidays and special gatherings never tasted so good!"
—Today.com

introduction: celebrate with me

Many of my fondest memories are tied to holidays. Most of those memories are woven into the food we enjoy during those special times of the year. I remember being taught how to prepare a Thanksgiving turkey for the first time (accidentally baking it with the bag of giblets inside the cavity!) and baking dozens of cookies from old family recipes with my sister and my mom to hand out to friends during Christmastime. I look forward to reuniting with family and friends at holiday gatherings and congregating around the table to enjoy wonderful food and conversation. I especially love time spent in the kitchen with everyone busily preparing their favorite holiday dishes and later laughing over a glass of wine while cleaning up the mess from the celebration.

When you are forced to alter your diet drastically for the sake of your health, you may understandably fear that your fond memories and traditions will be lost along with the newly eliminated food groups. You may worry that you won’t be able to attend significant gatherings with your family or host a baby shower for a friend without feeling ostracized or, worse, hungry! There is also a deep sense of loss when you can no longer experience the joy that comes from lovingly preparing and serving food to the people you care about. Those fears were once very real to me and left me feeling hopeless. But I have since made it my mission, with my blog and with my books, to break the misconception that you have to live a life of deprivation and alienation when you adopt a new dietary lifestyle.

My initial switch to a grain-free and Paleo diet came after spending many years battling for my life. I devoted months to seeing different specialists in an attempt to find out what was causing my symptoms and was told everything from “You’re a hypochondriac” to “You might have colon cancer.” After dozens of tests and many different doctors, I was ultimately diagnosed at the young age of twenty-two with ulcerative colitis, an incurable autoimmune disease that wrongfully attacks an otherwise healthy colon. I was devastated, and very lost. I was also newly married and had fairy-tale aspirations of having a beautiful family and of following in my mother’s and grandmother’s footsteps by hosting big parties year-round.

All of my doctors told me the same thing about my condition: diet did not cause it, diet cannot prevent it, and diet cannot cure it. So I accepted the myriad prescriptions and went on my way, only to have my symptoms worsen with burgeoning side effects. I spent years in and out of hospitals, incapacitated and on very high doses of medications. I was unable to be a mom to my infant son, and I took medical leave from my job. My sickness ruled my life until I discovered that dietary changes could, in fact, make my symptoms subside. I adopted a Paleo diet, which is based on the types of foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans, before the agricultural revolution changed the way much of what we consume is grown and processed. It consists chiefly of grass-fed or pasture-raised proteins, fish, vegetables, fruit, seeds, nuts, and healthy fats, and it excludes dairy, legumes, grain products, and processed food. Many people who follow this lifestyle see improved blood lipids, weight loss, and a reduction or elimination of the symptoms associated with autoimmune diseases. (For an in-depth account of my health journey and the different stages I went through to find the Paleo diet, read my blog at againstallgrain.com/my-journey or take a look at my first two cookbooks, Against All Grain and Meals Made Simple.)

After overhauling my diet, I spent quite some time avoiding parties and was apprehensive about hosting my own for fear that my guests would not enjoy the type of food I had to prepare. I was embarrassed to be a dinner guest with special requests and would often eat before leaving the house, or wait to eat until late at night when we returned home.

I will always remember my first Thanksgiving just weeks after switching to a Paleo diet. I longingly looked at other diners’ plates full of stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy; my plate had only turkey, salad, and a deflated, runny mashed cauliflower that I had brought for myself. Watching everyone enjoy all of the traditional pies and desserts after the meal was even more torturous. I debated between breaking my new “rules” or foregoing the special dishes I looked forward to year after year to preserve my health. I wondered if eating those foods, just this once, would affect me, but remembered from past experiences that it was not worth the risk.

It was after that disappointing dinner that I set out to re-create all of my favorite celebratory dishes in an attempt to give myself and my readers the gift of food traditions and to banish deprivation during holidays and special occasions. I forced myself to remember what had brought me joy before my diagnosis, and consciously committed to going against the grain in order to revive that joy.

I hosted my own Thanksgiving dinner the following year and proudly served all of my newly created recipes. My family and friends loved how fresh the food tasted. They even admitted that they felt better after the meal than in years past and didn’t have the standard post-turkey fatigue. The next year, and every year after that, my guests arrived at my home for Thanksgiving bearing dishes cooked from my recipes. Although none of them had an autoimmune condition like I did, their love for me made them want to accommodate my diet. Beyond that, they continued to make my recipes for special events throughout the year and served them in place of the standard American classics.

Try a recipe:
Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Shallots

SERVES 10 TO 12

1 cup (about 150g) whole raw cashews
2 tablespoons ghee or extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved
1 shallot, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons sherry (optional)
1 cup water
1 3⁄4 cups chicken stock
1 1⁄2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 pounds haricots verts (thin green beans), ends trimmed

topping
1⁄2 cup palm shortening, bacon fat, or ghee, for frying
2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced into rings

Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Soak for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, heat the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic and sauté for 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms and shallot have softened. Pour in the sherry and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the liquid.

Drain and rinse the cashews, transfer them to a blender, add the water, and blend until very smooth.

Add the mushroom mix, half of the stock, and the salt, pepper, and thyme to the blender and pulse a few times until the mushrooms are bite size. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the remaining stock. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Combine the mushroom mixture with the haricots verts and spoon into a casserole dish. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes, until the beans are tender and the sauce is bubbling. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes more.

Meanwhile, to make the topping, heat the palm shortening in a small, deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, panfry the shallots for about 5 minutes, until golden brown. Drain and cool in a single layer on a plate lined with paper towels.

Top the casserole with the crispy shallots and serve warm.

Love it...lot's of joy!

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've been cooking gluten free, and largely dairy free, for years now. However I recently switched to paleo for my baking needs (grains are fine for me so long as they're not milled.) What I took away the most from this book was how much I remembered I loved cooking good food. I'm someone that loved cooking since before switching to gf/non dairy diet. However I think a lot of that joy in making dishes went away at some point and I didn't even realize it! Every page is beautifully composed and it made me excited to cook the recipes. What I also love about the book is that it's something I can grow with as my family grows. There are so many wonderful options for simply my husband and I. And then more options once we start a family. I really like that I can go tot this book over my lifetime to plan out our occasions, it's well balanced that way. Where as some recipe books I've found can be a bit centered on celebrating with a family.
Another thing I liked is that I hadn't realized simply how many holidays and causes for celebration there were in general! For some reason, in my mind, I thought the book would focus more on providing many options of dishes for the 'main' holidays, as in Thanksgiving and Christmas. However this book covers events that I hadn't even thought of like game day and basic Autumn dinner party. Initially I didn't like this arrangement as much, I thought I would've preferred a larger variety of options per holiday and fewer events. (There are lots of options per holiday, it's more that they're planned out for you as a full menu per meal. So that you don't have to really stress about figuring out how to make a balanced menu per event.) However now that I really get how this book can grow with me for life, I dig it. I also really think this book would be phenomenal then for anyone just starting out on a new diet or lifestyle like this. It will get you through anything you need for a year of events.
The only note I'd make is that if you don't happen to follow the basic Christian holiday system and/or are expecting celebratory foods from other cultures holiday systems, you won't find them here. While I don't personally find this to be a problem. I could see this being a deal breaker for some. However I also don't perceive that the author was intending to be closed minded here. It's more that when you read her book, she shares in a way that you are a part of her family and their traditions. She shares these traditions in a very sincere way. So I think for her to branch into cultures (that I presume) she doesn't follow intimately would've created a very contrived and disingenuous book and recipes.
So far I've made the blender bread a few times, stuffing, green bean casserole and apple pie...basically Thanksgiving!. I love the mushroom cream base for the green beans so much that I think I might try to turn it into a cream of mushroom soup this winter. The apple pie dough felt a bit different than I expected to work with. It wasn't hard to work with as I could still make a lattice top. But it just felt odd...it tasted great though! I only mention it because I wonder if it's versatile enough if you wanted manipulate it into something beyond basic sheet formations that are well supported....but still...almond flour pie crust! The only trouble I had was with the blender bread and then subsequently when I went to use it in the stuffing. I have a KA Diamond Blender that chews through the nuts and such in the dough well. But the second I add the coconut flour to the mix the blender gets a bit clogged and fussy. When I add the extra water as indicated, the bread turns out really wet one baked. It was so wet that I had to dehydrate it significantly before using it for stuffing. The stuffing recipe calls to dehydrate it with a bit of butter. But there's no way the butter would've taken to the bread cubes as it was so wet. So I don't know if this is really a recipe issue, as it could be the combination of blender capability with the brand of coconut flour I used. With the second loaf of bread I threw into my food processor once it got fussy in the blender (but after I added the water) and the processing went much more smoothly after that. So I might try using my food processor in the future or maybe a combo of the machines.

All in all I'm really glad to have found this book and Danielle Walkers work. The way she sets up cooking is very familiar to me since before I made any dietary changes. So I'm sure that anyone with a basic sense of wisdom in the kitchen cooking will be able to jump into this book without much trouble. I couldn't have asked for a better book that I didn't even realize I needed so badly!

Edited:
I forgot I made the Bacon Carbonara for my husbands birthday and it was delicious. And the then the pancakes, OMG the pancakes! I've never been a big pancake eater in my life. But these are amazing, I love them. I've been contemplating using them as bread on a monte cristo sandwich because I think they'd be excellent as such!

An exceptional celebration cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022

You know what I hate? I hate reading reviews on cookbooks that people have posted within a few days of receiving them, often before they've even tried any of the recipes. Sure, you can tell if the food looks good by flipping through it, but that does not a great cookbook make.

Well this, is not that kind of review. I purchased this book all the way back in Fall of 2016, when it first came out. I'd recently started eating Paleo and wanted a book with festive recipes to accommodate my new diet. Six years later (still eating Paleo!), this is one of my favorite and most regularly used cookbooks, so I finally feel ready to share my review. I have made at least 25 recipes from it and am continuously looking for excuses to try more. These recipes do. not. disappoint. I'm the type of person who likes to try recipes for the first time when I'm having company over, and when I'm making something from Celebrations, I don't have to worry about whether or not it's going to turn out well. It's all delicious.

The way Danielle has put the menus together is superb, but all of the dishes also stand on their own. I've told many a person that the spinach artichoke dip alone is worth the cost of this book. Man is that recipe a hit when I serve it to people, and yet it's dairy-free! The oysters and apple-parsnip soup from the NYE menu are divine. The smoky sweet potatoes and Brussels with bacon jam have become a staple at my Thanksgiving dinners (make sure to try her wet brine for your turkey, too; mine came out so flavorful and tender). The carrot cake is freaking good. The "baked beans" are a Paleo revelation! The gingerbread worked wonderfully this year at the gingerbread decorating party for a child who could not eat gluten. I could go on, but I don't think I need to. If you're looking for a book with great holiday/special occasion foods, this is it. All the menus will make you and your loved ones feel as if you are feasting like kings. If you just choose a single dish to bring to your party or add to dinner, it will assuredly be a standout that gets you a ton of compliments.

Das Paleo-Brot bei uns

Reviewed in Germany on October 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

Ich kenne alle Bücher der Autorin und habe sehr sehr viel nach ihren Rezepten gekocht/gebacken. Bis heute hat mich kein Rezept enttäuscht (das ich vorher appetitlich fand). Aus diesem Buch habe ich (leider) noch nicht allzu viel gekocht, da ich kleine Kinder habe und so viel Festlichkeit bei uns noch nicht in Frage kommt (weil mir das oft schlicht zu aufwändig ist). Aber das "blender bread" ist das beste Brot, das wir bisher ausprobiert haben.
Ich schreibe diese Rezension, um darauf aufmerksam zu machen. Sollten Sie also noch auf der Suche nach einem wirklich guten Paleo-Brot sein, könnte das blender bread auch Ihr Herz gewinnen!
Nun ein weiterer Tip:
Meine Kinder konnten das Brot, so wie es aus dem Ofen kommt nicht richtig schmieren (es ist dann ziemlich weich) und fanden es auch zu eiig (immerhin 8 Eier sind drin). Also habe ich das gesamte Brot in dünne Scheiben geschnitten. Das geht ziemlich gut, wenn das Brot ganz abgekühlt ist. Die Scheiben habe ich auf dem Gitter ausgebreitet und unter dem Grill auf MAX etwa 4-5 Minuten gegrillt, die Scheiben dann umgedreht und nochmal etwa 3-4 Minuten getoastet.
Dann werden sie härter, wie normales getoastetes Brot und gar nicht mehr eiig. Seitdem gibt es (natürlich nur ab und zu) kein anderes Paleobrot mehr bei uns. Wir hatten vorher bestimmt 5-6 Rezepte ausprobiert.
Übrigens: wir verwenden statt der angegebenen Mandelmilch lieber Kokosmilch. Die haben wir nämlich immer da (und Mandelmilch fast nie). Sie lassen sich gut austauschen, ich mache aber trotzdem etwas Wasser (ca. 3 El) extra dazu.
Kauft Euch das Buch, diese Frau ist wirklich talentiert!!

Continuing her tradition of delicious allergy-friendly food

Reviewed in Canada on October 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have Danielle's other two cookbooks, her e-books, and regularly use recipes from her website. As someone with food sensitivities, I eat a primarily paleo diet, which helps keep my symptoms under control. Danielle's books have provided me with lots of recipes to replace my old standbys, which I can't eat anymore, and they are all delicious. Celebrations continues this tradition.

From this cookbook specifically, so far I've made the Christmas Fudge, Cranberry Sauce, Maple Pumpkin Pie, and the Berry Tart with Vanilla Bean Custard. In every case, I've fed them to my family (including my picky little boy) and to visitors, who all eat a more standard diet; in all cases, everyone raved about the food!

Thanks again to Danielle for working so hard on creating beautiful cookbooks which cater to those of us who have to avoid a lot of traditional ingredients!

Ein Musthave für die Paleo und SCD-Küche

Reviewed in Germany on January 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

Ich liebe es! Das Buch bietet zu allen möglichen jahreszeitlichen Anlässen Paleo und SCD-Highlights, die echt lecker schmecken. Positiv erscheint mir dabei, dass viele Zutaten tatsächlich auch zur Saison passen. Danielles Rezepte sind ausnahmslos toll und gelingen eigentlich immer. Natürlich braucht es etwas länger, so zu kochen, aber es lohnt sich definitiv. Besonders klasse fand ich zuletzt die vielen Möglichkeiten, Weihnachtsplätzchen quasi gesund und lecker auf den Tisch zu bringen. Und nicht alles ist ultra aufwändig oder kompliziert: Marshmellows gelingen in ca 20 Minuten! Einfach lecker!

This is a simply gorgeous book! The recipes look delicious and fairly easy.
So far I have made the blender bread on page 323, wow, it is absolutely delicious!
I have many more recipes picked out for the holidays!
I really like how the book is organized by celebrations and the luscious photographs, also Danielle has included so many helpful tips. I have all of Danielle's books and I love each one!
