Library Journal

Award-winning cookbook author Morgan (Entertaining People: Menus from a Pacific Northwest Cooking School) returns with a collection of regional Thanksgiving favorites like Oyster Stew or Turkey Enchiladas with Creamy Tomatillo Sauce. While traditional cooks may have a hard time with these dishes, adventurous ones will enjoy expanding their repertoire. Sections on ingredients, equipment and tools, turkey (buying, brining, trussing, roasting, carving, and presentation), and menus are included. Essential for the more experimental.
