Thankgiving Dinner By Tasting Table

We cherish the entire Thanksgiving experience: the flurry of preparation, the familiar smells, the good company and, most of all, that moment when we all sit down to eat.

Over the years, we've found that an ideal Thanksgiving formula calls for dishes that are delicious but not fussy. Like you, we're partial to recipes that don't compromise on flavor, yet still allow us to enjoy the festivities.

To that aim, we've created a special menu with you in mind. Each recipe–from creamy cauliflower soup to an amazing autumn crisp with spiced Calvados cream–was conceived and tested in Tasting Table's own kitchens. Click here to download our print-and-stain recipe guide. And toast to your accomplishment throughout the meal with a selection of well-paired wines from our sponsor, Angove Family Winemakers — with a 15% discount, when you order online with checkout code "TASTE" (shipping is not available to all states, so check the web site). Consider it our way of saying thanks.
