Fresh ideas for Thanksgiving: The Sides Project
A new ebook aims to elevate your feast.
Fresh ideas for Thanksgiving: The Sides Project
Around our Thanksgiving table, innovation tends to be met with a lot of resistance. There will be no chili-lime-rubbed turkeys or truffled mashed potatoes where we're sitting on the 22nd. But maybe your family is more diverse and less close-minded, maybe you're cooking for the first time and open to setting your own traditions, or maybe you're just looking for something new to sneak onto the table alongside all the standards.
If so, sides and desserts are where your scheming gaze is likely to fall. And The Sides Project, a new ebook from Tony Aizzi (of WorkShop Kitchen, a Philly-based consulting and publishing company), could definitely help. The book tackles sides and desserts (plus cocktails!), broken down by regions of the U.S.—so you can host an all Southwestern feast, or pull one dish from each locale for a pan-American theme.
Recipes range from buttermilk smashed yukon golds to a dressing of tortillas, hatch chilis, and chorizo, so it's unlikely you won't find something useful within. At the very least, you should be able to sneak a pan of Holy Trinity Cornbread laced with tasso onto the table next to the obligatory green bean casserole.
The ebook, which is $3.99, can be purchased here; you can also check out some sample pages before you buy. See the full recipe listing here, and Esquire has a Brussels sprouts recipe from the book here.
