THE DISH THAT CAME FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. 100 Foods That Became Part of an American Thanksgiving

Description

America did not inherit one Thanksgiving table. It built one dish by dish.

Filipino pancit, Persian kuku sabzi, Polish pierogi, and Texas pecan pie each have a place in this collection of 100 foods served at American Thanksgiving tables.

Every spread pairs a short narrative and a practical home recipe with a full-page food image. Researched food context and original fictional kitchen sketches explore what families carried with them, what changed in a new kitchen, and which dishes earned a place beside the turkey.

Across 206 pages, The Dish That Came from Somewhere Else offers ideas for the holiday meal and reading for the hours after it. A gift for home cooks, Thanksgiving hosts, and anyone who keeps a recipe because of the person who first made it.
