5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
Super happy that I found this. Thanksgiving gets pretty messy every day for my family (whose house, what to cook, who? what? where?). This is a simple and detailed guide for efficient planning. It's contemporary, humorous, can serve as a great gift (for my mother), and has a good mix between classic and contemporary recipes. Some of the other things I enjoyed about it are: healthy options (vegan, gluten free), offers wine pairings, gives great decoration ideas, precise recipes, timeline for planning, and it gives a few multicultural options for dinner styles. I wish there was a Christmas version.

P.S. : now I finally know how much wine to buy - there's an awesome tip on wine proportions per party size.

3.0 out of 5 stars Leans toward vegetarian
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2020

There are one or two meat based recipes, but it leans heavily toward the vegetarian side of things. Probably awesome if it's your preference - lots of options. Just not for me. Also a bit spendy for what you get. However, as other reviewers have said, it is a very pretty book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A few fresh ingredients provide delicious novel sides!
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019
Love these recipes, particularly the side dishes. Served the Cuban inspired Jicama, Avocado and Mango Salad (so refreshing) and the Italian styled Kale and Butternut Squash salad w/Spicy Seeds and Goat Cheese (tasty combination). With only a few fresh ingredients delicious new sides complemented our traditional Turkey!
