But I would feel truly bereft to miss out on the festival of leftovers, including days of sandwiches piled high with slabs of stuffing fried in butter and stacks of thinly shaved turkey breast.

I am hardly alone in celebrating a fridge full of Thanksgiving leftovers, but this year I am taking things a bit further and cooking my Thanksgiving turkey .…

The filling of this tart reminds of me of the hot Mumbai summers when Mum would make mango shrikhand for us, with the beautiful fragrance of floral cardamom and saffron and the warm notes of nutmeg. Mango and ginger are a great pairing, so the base of the gingersnap crust pairs well with the silky smooth shrikhand filling in the tart. I love this tart and my kids love it too. It is so easy to make that it has become a regular in our home. It is definitely a showstopper for a party as well! It is.…

Glutinous rice flour, also known as mochiko or sweet rice flour, makes an excellent gluten-free gravy for Thanksgiving or any holiday feast. Like wheat flour, mochiko can be toasted in fat to create a roux, which lends the finished gravy robust flavor that other starches, like cornstarch, just can’t match.
