Right now, the most perfect thing in my life appears to be a bowl of turnip soup. I know. Turnip soup sounds like a punishment, it sounds like near starvation or prison rations but I’m here to say that nothing can be further from the truth. As I sit at my table with the bowl nestled in my hands, its pungent earthy turnip scent swirls around me and steams up the kitchen windows. I listen to the wet, rough rainstorm just on the other side of the windowpane and I consider my good fortune to be exactly here, exactly right now, with exactly this bowl of turnip soup.

It’s the weekend before Thankgiving — are you getting a jumpstart on the holiday? Baking pies, making gravy? Perhaps you are even hosting Thanksgiving early? Or maybe you are looking for quieter, more modest meals. I’m craving spaghetti bolognese so that’s on the menu this weekend. What about you? What are you cooking this weekend? And whatever you’re cooking, listen in on Saturday and Sunday as I talk Thanksgiving with Lynne Rossetto Kasper on The Splendid Table. Tune in — and tell us: what’s cooking this weekend?
Let us help you finish up that Thanksgiving menu! From this past week, we have a refreshing cider sangria to serve with Thanksgiving dinner and recipes for both potato rolls and buttermilk biscuits to serve alongside. Branch out from tradition and give this Mexican-spiced turkey a try — but keep the classics for dessert, ok? It doesn’t get much better than pumpkin pie and a double-crust apple pie side by side on the dessert table.
I’ll go on record saying there’s no such thing as having too many wooden spoons. For gifts this season, you can buy a hand-carved version or carve your own, but there’s a third option you may not have thought of: etched wooden spoons!
It happens all the time during the holidays: you don’t have enough seats at the dining room table, so you take out the card table and put all the kids together. As a kid, I watched as my cousins “graduated” to the big table, and I waited for my turn to participate in the holiday festivities and conversation.
Classic buttermilk biscuits are a staple in my household. Quick, easy, and light as a feather, they can be served for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and even dessert! The technique is simple (hint: freeze the butter and use a light touch) but the results are spectacular.
