Many organic foodies have discovered the virtues of organic wine, but have you tried organic beer? If you haven’t picked a favorite, be sure to read Pour Me an Organic Brewski.

On the menu this season is one of my husband’s favorite dishes, Tasty Osso Buco Served with Wild Mushroom Risotto . I make it with grass-fed bison, which has a very clean flavor that doesn’t taste gamey. Osso buco is a fantastic do-ahead entrée that you can prepare a day before entertaining, and the flavors become even richer when given a chance to meld. Accompanied by our Easy Garlicky Beet Greens, it will be the hit of any impressive, yet easy, dinner party.

Our Baked Organic Apples Stuffed with Winter Fruit Compote is another great do-ahead dish. Place them in the oven about 30 minutes before serving your main course, and they’ll be just the right temperature for a dazzling dessert.

These are just a few of the recipes in our Holiday Edition. You’ll find many more at www.OrganicAuthority.com.

Many of you have emailed to request a list of toxic ingredients found in cosmetics, as well as information on their association with breast cancer. Recently, Dr. Philippa Darbre, a senior lecturer in oncology at the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Reading in England, published her research on the possible connection between breast cancer and the daily application of cosmetics that contain estrogenic chemicals. In Cosmetics and Breast Cancer , we reveal the chemicals on her watch list.
