Lon’s at The Hermosa is offering the perfect alternative to a home-cooked meal during the holidays. Leave the work to the resort’s culinary team and bring your family to enjoy a scrumptious Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner featuring lobster bisque, roasted turkey, pecan wood-grilled lamb loin and caramel pecan pie. Ring in the New Year with selections of warm goat cheese and organic spinach salad, open shrimp ravioli, pan roasted pork and tequila lime tart dessert. And don’t forget to save room for a festive cocktail like the home-made Egg Nog Martini, Espresso Pumpkin Pie Martini and Spiced Apple Carmeltini. For more information, visit www.lons.com.

Hanukkah may only be eight nights, but Chef Eddie Matney of Eddie’s House in downtown Scottsdale celebrates Jewish cuisine all season by mixing modern flavors with traditional treats. Through the holidays, Matney will offer daily specials such as barbeque cantaloupe brisket, potato pancakes with poblano applesauce, or coconut-pistachio macaroons. Matney’s Jewish specials delight with modern, Mediterranean flavors woven into traditional dishes. Think matzah ball soup with cinnamon broth. It’s comfort food with a kick.

And the perfect way to end any meal is of course with a fabulous dessert so Executive Chef Justin Beckett at CANAL at SouthBridge is offering a variety of tantalizing seasonal desserts to do just that. Indulge in the Linzer Lingonberry Tart with banana curd or savor the Chocolate Pumpkin Charlotte with Pepitas brittle. And you’re sure to love the Southern Pecan Cashew Pie with Cider semi freddo, Black Currant Croissant Pudding with Treakle toffee anglaise, and Egg Nog Cheesecake with Gingersnap crumb crust and cranberry coulis.
