Brookhaven Marketplace Chef Brian Ukleja talks turkey and offers his helpful hints to ensure a successful holiday meal.
At 3 a.m. on Thanksgiving, Chef Brian Ukleja and his staff will arrive at Brookhaven Marketplace to roast 100 fresh HoKa* turkeys for customer pick up that day. These guys are serious about turkey. The turkey is, of course, the most important component of the Thanksgiving feast. A moist, tender bird is remembered fondly for months. On the other hand, it's disheartening to put in so much work and end up serving a dry turkey. Ukleja has been cooking professionally for 15 years, so his advice is worth listening to: Ukleja said Alton Brown, who hosts Good Eats on the Food Network, developed this brine recipe. He laughed that the results are obviously a success, because his family hasn't allowed anyone but him to cook the Thanksgiving turkey …

Enjoy a seasonal sweet treat in the morning — or anytime for that matter.
Often saved for special occasions and holidays, sweets are something we tend to think of as taboo for everyday. What if we indulged just a little bit during ordinary days and allowed a special treat, maybe even for breakfast? Once in awhile, eating a donut, fresh Danish, delectable piece of coffeecake, cupcake or a wedge of chocolate cake might just be in order, especially if you subscribe to the breakfast wisdom of Bill Cosby in his chocolate-cake-is-nutritious-for-breakfast bit. Many establishments in the area are offering limited-time and seasonal specialties in addition to their normal fare. Brookhaven in Darien counts among their most popular items the tiramisu and Napoleon pastries — layers of phyllo, vanilla or chocolate custard …

The ginger boy may not spice things up, but he's cute as a button and a perfect treat for Santa.
Holiday Treat: Kookie Cookie's Ginger Boy from Brookhaven Marketplace Cost: $1.49 Sugarplum rating*: @@ One of the key factors in the success of a holiday cookie is whether it looks the part. It's got to look tasty. It's got to look festive. And it never hurts to look cute. On these criteria, Kookie Cookie's Ginger Boy, available at Brookhaven Marketplace, is a solid win. Though he's billed as a boy rather than a man, he's a classic gingerbread cookie with a toasty brown color, rounded extremities and simple, frosted features. Two dots for eyes? That's the kind of gingerbread man-boy I know and love. This ginger boy smells of ginger and cloves. His leg was easy to break off without cracking his whole body apart, though the packaging warned…

The cookies bring back lots of holiday memories for this almond horn fan.
Holiday treat: Brookhaven Marketplace Almond Horns Cost: $3.84 for half a pound Sugarplum rating*: @@ Like any good Czech girl, I take my Christmas cookies very seriously. Growing up, one of my favorite holiday traditions was to venture to a European bakery on the west side of Cleveland to fill a two-pound tag board box with the cookies of my choosing. Butter balls, sugar cookies topped with sprinkles and of course almond horns—I never left without a solid selection of all my favorites. So when that bakery fell victim to the recession a couple of years ago, I was genuinely distressed. Where would I get all my holiday favorites? The spritz? The checkerboards? And, most especially, the almond horns? And that's when I found the almond horns …

Patch caught up with people of the nationalities with the greatest populations in Darien, according to the 2000 Census, to find out more about how residents celebrate traditions from the homeland right here at home. And it's no surprise that in every country many traditions involve special recipes and feasts. During a morning chat at the Carmelite Carefree Village, Activity Director Marie DeCesare and resident Mary LaRocco highlighted their favorite Italian customs. "We never eat meat on Christmas Eve, only fish, homemade ravioli and calamari," LaRocco said. Her family eats the big feast …
