Giving Thanks

Wednesday November 16, 2005
Giving ThanksThere are no presents, no songs, no stories about red-nosed turkeys that fly. And yet, Thanksgiving is many people’s favorite holiday.

Are you curious about the origins and history of Thanksgiving? Do you need the perfect hostess gift for the friend or family member who is cooking your Thanksgiving feast this year? Are you searching for inspiration for your own holiday cooking?

"Giving Thanks: Thanksgiving Recipes and History, from Pilgrims to Pumpkin Pie" by Plimoth Plantation food historian Kathleen Curtin and “Food History News” publisher Sandra L. Oliver is not only the definitive Thanksgiving cookbook, it is a detailed and fascinating account of the origins and meaning of the quintessential American holiday.
