A festive hour of GREAT TASTE will charm your ears on this week's holiday show.  We'll talk party food and, of course, enjoy some too. Come by the studio, bring your favorite holiday fare and spend an hour enjoying the tastes of the season. 

I'm bringing one of my absolute favorite finds of the year-organic egg nog made in Kalona.  It's extraordinary.  Also, a cold night deserves some delicious hot chocolate so we'll make a Mexican version.

Kathy should be back in time from Florida to add the genuine "hostess" advice necessary to make your family and friends gathering a great success.

Join us at the studio-7:00 PM CST for a very merry Great Taste..  If the location isn't convenient, catch the stream at kruufm.com live or the rebroadcast streaming Friday at 7 AM CST.

Easy to prepare finger foods are guaranteed to be a hit at your holiday party. Tune in as we prepare a bevy of savory dishes to brighten up the party table.

Sorry, we pre-recorded this show so don't drop by the studio expecting to taste!

Take notes as Kathy Dubois, Steve Boss and their helpers whiz through a dizzying array of dishes.

Some after cooking and recording thoughts: Pay attention to the salt content on the baked feta dish. Use olives that are more herby than salty.

More than pies will fill your airwave taste buds when the party starts at 7:00 PM Wednesday. It's the season to enjoy all kinds of treats and we're kicking it off with plenty of suggestions for how to please your family and friends throughout this seemingly endless month of eating.

We'll have a studio full of cooks all bringing their holiday party specialties. We'll share recipes, family traditions plus suggest some great gifts for folks who love to have fun in the kitchen and those who would rather just eat. Be prepared to take notes because we guarantee you'll hear about something perfect for someone on your holiday list.

Better yet, come by the studio and take a taste or two. GREAT TASTE with Steve Boss, Kathy Dubois and a supporting cast of local cooks sends out waves of deliciousness from 7-8 PM on Wednesday with a rebroadcast 7-8 AM Friday.
