From Williams-Sonoma, "Thanksgiving" has 40 essential recipes that you can count on to be delicious. Thanksgiving is all about the experiance of enjoying home cooking. Learn to make a no fail classic roast turkey, or Hickory-Smoked Roast Turkey with Horseradish-Apple Sauce if you want to get fancy. All the side dishes are here and maybe some new ones too including wild rice and chestnut stuffing, butternut squash Soup, dressings, breads, cranberry sauce and more. A whole chapter is dedicated to the important staple "potatoes" and they varied ways you can prepare the humble spuds. Sweet Candied Yams are here too. Desserts are not forgotten such as Creamy Pumpkin Pie
One of the nice things about this company is that they include large color photos of their completed dishes, and these help with presentation as well. The recipes are accessible and easy to follow for any level cook. You will rely on this book every year, a worthwhile investment. And it looks prettier on the shelf than most cookbooks I have seen.

Overall, this is a very nice book, with beautiful pictures and easy to follow instructions. I really appreciate the different variations of the same dish (e.g. different ways to cook the turkey). however, i bought this book hoping I would find traditional dishes that I tasted last year (sweet potatoes, potato rolls) and could not find them in the book so i was a little bit disappointed....

But it's a good book nonetheless!

This book is a charm! One year some years ago I was doing the Thanksgiving at our house - and 8.5 months pregnant! This book gave me a ton of great ideas along with the traditional stuff that I could make for our family. Everything in the book I made everyone just loved! Definitely worth having in your pantry cookbook stash! The Candied Yams recipe is the best one I've ever seen.

I was surprised at the recipes in this volume. They are simple, yet elegant. The pecan pie recipe is the best we've ever had! And as Southerners, we've sampled quite a few! The photos are great. We liked this volume so much we're collecting the set.

This is a great cookbook. Every year my sister-in-law would borrow it for her Thanksgiving dinner. Finally, we bought her her own!

This pretty cookbook contains lots of the customary tried and true recipes plus several interesting variations on the old themes.

I love this book! I have made many of the recipes here and they all came out great! These recipes will make your Thanksgiving delicious!

My wife wanted this to find a recipe. She found it and now we have added this book to our enjoyable WS collection. Great service from this vendor.
