While there are plenty of factors to consider if you plan to host the Thanksgiving festivities this year, from ordering a big enough turkey to figuring out a timeline to follow that ensures every dish is prepared on time and is mouthwateringly delicious, we can all use some extra tips and tricks."
"Rosenthal knows a thing or two about the ins and outs of food and entertaining, and we had the chance to interview her about her favorite ways of taking the Thanksgiving gathering to the next level. Among Rosenthal's biggest takeaways is focusing on a casual ambiance, connection, and capturing memories of the event. She notes, "I always offer to take family photos for everyone before we start dinner, just makes it feel more celebratory.""
Recommendations emphasize focusing on a casual ambiance, connection, and capturing memories for Thanksgiving gatherings. Offering to take family photos before dinner makes the event feel celebratory. Convert the meal into a buffet to reduce stress and awkward formality. Start with a buffet and bring easy-to-carry dishes to the table while keeping heavier items stationed. Place gravy and cranberry sauce where guests can access extra servings easily. Plan timelines and order an appropriately sized turkey. Favor approachable preparations that allow hosts to mingle with guests rather than be stuck in the kitchen.
