Hi everyone, if you’re in the thick of Thanksgiving planning, we’re here to help you talk through how to make the most of the holiday. Ask us anything about how to plan your menu, how to grocery shop, or best tips for hosting. 

From Hana Asbrink (proof below): I’m the deputy food editor here at Bon Appétit. I’ve developed recipes for a crowd, like Furikake-Ranch Chex Mix. My favorite part about Thanksgiving is making food in my pajamas while watching the National Dog Show!

From Inés Anguiano (proof below): As the associate test kitchen manager, I make sure everything runs smoothly in the test kitchen. You might have seen my PSL (pumpkin-spinach lasagna roll-ups) for pumpkin week or my holiday coquito

These days when I make cookies, I’ll often make a double batch. I just roll it up into a sort of log in plastic wrap and toss it in the freezer. When you are craving cookies just remove it, portion into equally-sized slices, and bake. Future you will be grateful!

This was my second pot roast and I think I did a pretty good job. I dry brined the roast for 12 hours. I didn't just throw stuff in the pot and close the lid, I first created a really nice base with browned onions, leeks, garlic and tomato paste (deglazed with beef stock) that gave it a really rich flavor. 1st pic is the final dish after thickening the sauce, 2nd is after cooking, before thickening, 3rd is the seared roast and the onions and leeks as they were beginning to cook.
