Dear <<Name>>,
Let the holiday cooking and baking season begin! In the US, Thanksgiving prep is well under way. We've got Rick Rodgers on board to answer your pressing Thanksgiving cooking questions, and the answers will apply to other big holiday meals as well.
Cookbook publishers have unleashed another torrent of great cookbooks to put on your holiday wish list. Jenny's got reviews of several top books so you can make your list and check it twice. If you give a cookbook to someone else for Christmas, consider adding an EYB subscription and you could win a free lifetime subscription for yourself!
In addition, we have loads of giveaways, a new magazine and a new blog, plus a sweet Pinterest board to jump start your holiday baking. Happy Thanksgiving to our US members, and Happy Cooking to everyone!

Your Thanksgiving questions, answered
|
|
|
|
We're delighted that holiday cooking expert Rick Rodgers has agreed to answer our Members' Thanksgiving questions. The Q&A began on November 17, and since then Rick has answered questions such as "What dishes (appetizers and desserts) can I make I advance?" and "How long should I cook a 24 pound organic turkey and at what temperature?" He's also offered his recipe for make-ahead gravy. Rick is answering questions through November 23, so if you are wondering about a particular dish or technique, there is still time to ask an expert!

Highlighted magazine - Christopher Kimball's Milk Street
|
|
|
|
Fans of Christopher Kimball who were disappointed when he left America's Test Kitchen can now rejoice: Kimball is back with his own magazine (albeit with a bit of controversy). Christopher Kimball's Milk Street, like Cook's Illustrated, will be a subscription-only magazine with limited free content. However, the associated website offers several free online recipes, including a few from the charter edition like Foolproof single-crust pie dough and Charred Brussels sprouts.
|
|
|
The site also offers other online recipes perfect for Thanksgiving. In addition to the magazine, Milk Street also includes a radio show, and a public television program featuring Kimball as host is in the works.
It can take some time for online recipes to be linked, so make sure to check back frequently. Browse the charter issue of Milk Street in the EYB Library. New issues will be added as they are released.

See the complete roundup on the EYB blog.

Buying from Amazon? Support EYB in the process
|
|
|
|
If you are purchasing anything from Amazon for the holidays, you can support EYB by navigating to Amazon from the 'Buy Book' link on any cookbook in the Library. You don't have to buy the book once you click through, any items you purchase during that visit will benefit EYB. The more revenue we earn, the more cookbooks we can index and the more new features we can provide our Members. Thanks for your help!
