COPY ISBN
Blending classic and contemporary holiday foods, this slim volume from the editors at America's Test Kitchen (ATK) puts 75 starters, centerpieces, sides, and sweets at readers' fingertips. Like Sam Sifton's Thanksgiving: How To Cook It Well, this book focuses on essential dishes and provides guidance on how to prep ahead in the weeks and days leading up to a big celebration. There's some recipe repetition—for instance, the biscochitos also appear in ATK's The Perfect Cookie. Reliable recipes, best suited for diners without dietary restrictions, such as Champagne punch, herbed roast turkey, oven-poached side of salmon, quick green bean "casserole," and spiced pumpkin cheesecake can be easily mixed and matched.
VERDICT Use this charming, focused title to set a showstopping table for special occasions.
