"But of course, I had cheated. I had ordered my Thanksgiving in the mail-one of the new breed of Thanksgiving meal kits. The meal was genuinely home-cooked, of course, prepared mostly from scratch. But the entire seven-platter feast-its ingredients and recipes-had arrived two days before, in a box large enough to house a primal cut of beef. It was Thanksgiving in a box: a $200 "Chef's Table Thanksgiving" meal kit available from sister meal delivery plans Sunbasket and Gobble."
"The spread from Sunbasket was vast and generous. The table contained a nearly 3-pound roast of turkey, mounds of mashed potato, pebbled cranberry compote, roasted carrots dressed in miso-sage butter, brussels sprouts dappled with pecorino romano and pancetta, an endless platter of fennel-apple-sausage-stuffing, Gruyère black-pepper biscuits caked more than an inch tall, a tureen of deep brown turkey gravy, a ginger apple crisp waiting in the wings."
Meal kit companies like Sunbasket, Gobble, and Marley Spoon sell full Thanksgiving meal kits that arrive with ingredients and recipes pre-portioned. A $200 "Chef's Table Thanksgiving" kit supplies a seven-platter feast delivered two days before, allowing mostly from-scratch preparation at home. The spread can include a nearly 3-pound roast turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry compote, miso-sage roasted carrots, pecorino-and-pancetta Brussels sprouts, fennel-apple-sausage stuffing, Gruyère black-pepper biscuits, turkey gravy, and ginger apple crisp. Meal kits reduce the stress of holiday cooking while producing restaurant-caliber dishes and satisfying traditional family preferences for seasoning and presentation.
