Holidays

Crisp on top, custardy underneath, and generous with the butter, this holiday icon keeps earning its place at the table.

Silky filling, flaky crust, a whisper of spice: This is pumpkin pie done right.

Brown butter, pecans, sage, bacon. What could be better?

It’s a two-for-one Thanksgiving stunner, no carving needed.

Gravy-braised turkey, the brightest collards in the world, all-dressed-up cornbread, and more recipes and advice (even some table manners) from decades of Test Kitchen wisdom.

Going somewhere for the holidays? Here’s what to bring.

We asked Bon Appétit staffers, friends, and their kids to settle the holiday’s thorniest questions.

Inspired by stuffing, a fully loaded loaf.

Cut into little squares for an appetizer, or serve wedges for a vegetarian main or standout side.

The antithesis of a haphazardly chunked together fruit salad.

Treat collards like salad greens with a walnut-speckled dressing.

Like a fine cappuccino, but make it pie. The big bonus here is the buttery oatmeal cookie crust—which requires zero pie weights during prebake.

Nothing beats a classic apple pie—well, maybe a bourbon caramel apple pie.

A tangy exclamation point to the holiday meal.

For mopping up gravy, piling on leftover turkey, and starting the holiday with something sweet.

Make-ahead dips, flaky cheese twists, and more starters to nibble while the turkey takes her time.

Roasted eggplant, cinnamon-spiced lamb, and a golden cap of cheesy béchamel. Make it ahead, then claim a corner piece.

Silky, mashed-potato-pooling glory—no turkey drippings required.

Corn nut “magic dust” adds an extra hit of corn flavor to this buttery, sausage-studded Thanksgiving side.

Like streusel-topped cakes, caramel-apple cookies, and one dessert made with Cheez-Its.

A simple wet brine, one clever use for a cooler, and a golden roast turkey that needs no basting.

Whether you’re roasting your turkey whole or in parts, here’s how to get the timing just right.

The crispy, sweet-and-salty cornflake topping is the real star of the show.

Think cream-cheese-stuffed muffins, cookies studded with chocolate and pecans, and spice-laden pies.
