- A family kitchen with one oven, a roaster that comes out once a year and a fridge full of make-ahead dishes
- Always on the table
- Her grandmother's cornbread stuffing
- Never again
- Carving the turkey before it rested
- Holiday habit

Holiday dinners & sides
Make the pie on Tuesday. You will thank yourself on Thursday.
Claire has cooked a holiday dinner for a crowd almost every year since her twenties, first in a tiny apartment and now for fourteen people around two pushed-together tables.
What she cares about most is the plan: which dish can be made ahead, what goes in the oven when, and how to get everything to the table hot. Every recipe she writes has those notes.
She writes our Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter recipes, and every one of them has been on her own table.
