The Thanksgiving Table: Recipes and Ideas to Create Your Own Holiday Tradition

by Diane Morgan

Sometimes the only thing Thanksgiving hosts have to be thankful for is putting their feet up at the end of the day. For novices, orchestrating The Feast is no easy task. And even for old pros it's a bit of a challenge. Enter The Thanksgiving Table: the lowdown on the how to. Everything from the foolproof secret to a moist bird and how to truss and carve it to menu suggestions and simple, elegant table settings. Plus, recipes for classics like cranberry relish as well as more innovative dishes--and a whole section devoted to vegetarians. And maybe best of all, do-ahead tips and plenty of food and technique photographs to make planning in advance a breeze. The Thanksgiving Table is a kitchen essential--a book for which every home cook can give thanks.

Awesome brines for your turkey...perfectly moist ever time. Lots of good recipes for trimmings too if you're looking to break family tradition and try something new.

How to cook the turkey, how to make sides, how to make dessert, how to decorate, blah blah blah. A good book but some cooks like to know exactly how to put together the entire meal, that is, how to coordinate the meal so it's all ready at the same time. Oddly, that isn't mentioned in this book. If I needed help with Thanksgiving, I would consider this book very useful, except for that small flaw.
