TIPS FROM OUR READERS

IN THE NOW • WHAT’S HAPPENING IN FOOD

‘TIS THE SEASON OF SWEETS • Leave a plate of these holiday cookies out and Santa is likely to get delayed when he stops at your house. With a new favorite, the Brookie, plus buttery shortbread thumbprints, pretty pinwheels, festive fried rosettes, and chocolate-peppermint drop cookies, this is the perfect collection for a cookie swap or hoarding for late-night nibbles.

baking Know-How • When it comes to baking cookies, or anything for that matter, the right equipment and ingredients can make or break a batch. Baking is a science, so precise measuring and careful attention to technique can make the difference between failure and sweet success with your baking endeavours — plus, it doesn’t take a lot of extra time.

Weeknight Warmers • From a brothy soup with meatballs and a creamy oyster chowder, to a beer cheese soup that can easily be made vegetarian, these soups will warm you up no matter what night of the week it is.

GETTIN’ THE PARTY STARTED THIS HOLIDAY • If you’re having a get-together with family or friends, or simply want a casual night in, apps are an easy go-to. Serve up some dips, sammies, or mushroom cups to nibble on. These snacks can travel or be whipped up to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.

Meatless dining for two • A common myth behind vegetarian dining is that it lacks flavor or won’t be filling ... not in our kitchens! These recipes might be meatless, but they’re also high-flavor and hearty. Give these two menus a try, and we’re sure you’ll be singing a different tune.

THANKSGIVING NAN’S WAY • Every year editors at every food magazine in the country struggle to reinvent the Thanksgiving feast. Our staff photographer, Chris Hennessey, started talking about the feasts his grandmother, Nan, made that he grew up eating. No brainstorming necessary this year; this feature just about wrote itself. Here’s our interpretation of Nan’s authentic home cooking.

THANKSGIVING THINK AHEAD

HELLO, BREAKFAST • Wake your family (or house guests) from dreaming of sugar plums with the sweet smells of cinnamon-sugar wafting through the house. Whether it’s starting your holiday off on the right foot or recovering from the hustle the night before, these two breakfast items will add a little cheer to everyone’s day.

HAPPY HOMEMADE GIFTING • Want to spruce up your gifting this year while spending a lot less money? Our Art Director, Teresa, shows you how to be creative so you can simply and thoughtfully gift homemade treats. Your gift recipients will love the extra TLC you put into gift giving this year, while you stay on budget.

BEEF BEEF UP UP • Are you looking for something to shake up the holiday season besides the traditional turkey? The Ultimate Companion to Meat cookbook is here to help. Can’t you just hear the praises from your family when you bring a BEEF WELLINGTON, or another holiday favorite, the ROAST RIB-EYE, to the table. Are you drooling yet?! Whichever menu you choose, we know you won’t be disappointed — we certainly weren’t!

INSTANT-READ THERMOMETERS • ACCURACY IS PARAMOUNT WITH THERMOMETERS; THAT’S A GIVEN. BUT IT’S THE MEASURE OF FUNCTIONALITY, DESIGN, AND VALUE THAT DISTINGUISHES THE BEST FROM THE REST.
