It’s Oscar season!

Will you be watching? What are you wearing? Is anybody going to slap anybody? And where are the female directors?

Alas, some of these questions have no good answers. But here’s what we do know: Steven Spielberg’s mom had a monkey. And here’s what else we know: the best Oscar parties have the best food!

So, it’s my honor to present to you…

My annual list of Oscar-worthy recipes for your celebration!
