A Holiday Buffet

This menu features traditional food that bears an appreciation for the eclectic: Tart cranberry sauce is sweetened with dried cherries and grated ginger; celery root added to the mashed potatoes make them taste even earthier; the bread stuffing benefits from the addition of chestnuts, green apples, and prunes; and the flavor of steamed cauliflower is enhanced by brown butter. Serve the meal buffet-style so everyone in the family can pick and choose to create their ultimate feast.

A Southern-Style Feast

Deep-fried turkey steals the show in a Southern-inspired Thanksgiving feast. Serve baked ham to complement the bird. The sides are just as flavorful as the main: Tart kumquats top a sweet-potato puree, lemon honey melts over warm angel biscuits, and jalapenos spice up the corn pudding. End dinner on a majestic note: a towering sweet-potato-white-chocolate cake that's as dense and moist as a brownie, but mellowed by warm autumnal flavors. There's also a pie for the traditionalists in the group, combining gentle pears with tart dried cherries.
