I hosted Thanksgiving at my house for the first time this year, and it was a lot of fun! I was kind of stressed out about the cooking part, as I’m not a very proficient cook, but luckily I had very collaborative guests that brought some of the dishes, including a visitor from the U.K. who took charge of the trickier logistics. In the end, it all turned out fine.

The menu included a 11lb organic free-range turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes with cranberries, garlic mashed potatoes, broccoli, carrots, gravy and cranberry sauce, followed by pumpkin pie and ice cream. There was another pudding that we soaked in Remy Martin and ignited, but I can’t remember the name of it!
