"Making a full Thanksgiving feast for guests can be daunting, for some perhaps even terrifying. The world, and especially Hallmark movies, is full of holiday disaster stories: burnt turkeys, failed desserts, steamed hams. But I'm not bragging when I say that the first Thanksgiving dinner I prepared for my extended family-a little early, this year-was an unmitigated success. My aunt couldn't stop talking about the black pepper in the biscuits and the sage on the carrots."
"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,"
Meal kit boxes from companies such as Sunbasket and Marley Spoon provide pre-portioned ingredients and recipes to simplify preparing a full Thanksgiving feast. A $200 "Chef's Table Thanksgiving" kit from Sunbasket/Gobble delivered a seven-platter meal two days early, including 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. The components arrived ready for mostly from-scratch preparation, reducing planning and shopping tasks and making a home-cooked holiday meal more accessible for hosts who find the prospect daunting.
