  • “I’ll probably end up blathering” Kenji, the blathering is why we’re all here

  • I love what you do for the home cook, Kenji. My wife has bought me both Food Lab and The Wok, (she got them both signed by you as well, thanks for that!) and it has made such a huge impact on the quality of the food we eat. I'm a stay at home dad and homemaker, and as a family we are eating better, cheaper, and with much less frustration. Almost everything you teach in your books can be applied elsewhere, and making these connections and improving my game bring me immense joy. I wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving on behalf of MY family. THANKS BRUH!

  • We make our cranberry sauce into a chutney with toasted pecans, sliced jalapeño and cilantro. The sour taste of cranberries is balanced by the sweetness of the sugar, the crunch of the pecans, the heat of the peppers and the hint of herb from the cilantro make it a real show stopper..

  • Always thought I hated cranberry sauce growing up because we only had the canned stuff, which I'm not a fan of. Then I tried making homemade cranberry sauce just like this with a little knob of ginger in it, and now it is one of my favorite parts of the holiday (and any time of year I can find fresh cranberries)

At this point, much of my thanksgiving table is my mother’s traditional menu, except I’ve tweaked all the recipes using your methods over the years. This includes stuffing, gravy, cranberries, mash, green bean casserole, apple pie (although I converted to Stella’s pie crust), and even basic dry brining of the bird. Thanks for all these nuggets of wisdom!

  • I love homemade cranberry sauce. I like adding some pinot noir or merlot instead of water. As far as spices/aromatics, I use orange zest, cinnamon, clove, black peppercorns (szechuan if you want it tingly), and a couple sprigs of rosemary. It so good and just gets better and better in the following days as it sits.

It gets a little better in the fridge after a day or two as well and freezes okay too. I don't remember any spices or if there's any additional sugar other than the apples. I realize this isn't a recipe but feel free to mess around with the concept!
