I can attest that any moment of Thanksgiving is wonderful. Of course, I’m always grateful for gatherings with friends and family during the holidays, but I also cherish the little things that make us laugh and make the day count.
Just like using a pastry brush to practice egg washing all over your pie crust. While grandma’s back was turned, my cousin and I conspired to add a little more seasoning. Skip the leftovers for the next day and head to a Thai restaurant for red curry.
Every year food brands are challenged to come up with new concepts for Thanksgiving. We look for ways to shorten cooking times; we debate how to remix potatoes and green beans; we try to blend different countries and cultures while balancing reliable, comforting, or regional recipes. We asked how to prepare turkey in an exciting and delicious way without adding to the social pressure of creating a turkey. perfect grateful.
Thanksgiving is often viewed as a high-stakes problem to be solved rather than an easy invitation. It’s easy to get caught up in those talking points and memes that warn about long lines at grocery stores and airports, or those that advise how to manage an exhausted relative. But Thanksgiving is inherently fun. While we can never completely relieve the stress of the holidays, we can prepare for the party with a sense of joy.
For Thanksgiving this year, we decided to just write about our favorite moments.
This focus gives us a compelling set of reasons to love Thanksgiving that echo the gratitude we express at holiday meals. We came up with 55 reasons, including ordering food delivery, going for a walk, and eating pie for breakfast.
We hope you enjoy this issue and share why you love the holidays in the Epicurious app.
