Halloween, to me, signals the arrival of an annual event I think of as The Official Two Months of Eating Well. It begins with apple cider and popcorn balls, moves into apple cake and pumpkin bread territory, before arriving in full-fledged Thanksgivingland, then giving way to peanut brittle, fancy holiday breads with raisins, currants and nuts, and, of course, cookies.

Being The Official Two Months of Eating Well are rooted in tradition, the potential for falling into a rut (albeit a savory rut) runs high. But the University of Nebraska Press is here to help. On sale through November are twelve cookbooks, featuring recipes from Eastern Europe and Russia, traditional Jewish fare, recipes by none other than Julia Child, vegetarian dishes and more. There’s a book of spices on sale and, last but not least, a book devoted entirely to wine (which the author considers more of a food than a drink, anyway).

Sale details are available on the sales page of our Web site. Happy eating (and cooking, too).
