or family and friends. They can also be a time of stress, anxiety, and slaving over a hot stove. The editors of Fine Cooking magazine know all about the problems and pitfalls of preparing a full-course holiday meal...and they are here to help! This cooking survival guide previously in hardcover as How to Cook a Turkey, presents all the reader needs to know to make things go smoothly, look great, and taste delicious. The 100 recipes cover the meal from soup to nuts. There is an entire chapter on turkey that covers everything from the different types available (organic, kosher, wild) to what to do when you find you still have a frozen bird, as well as traditional takes and inspired twists on roasting your turkey.

Loaded with step-by-step instructions on techniques like how to make gravy or roll out a pie crust, Fine Cooking Thanksgiving Cookbook will become a trusted, well-thumbed resource.
