Enjoy this sneak peek of the “Feast for the Season” feature from our November/December 2023 issue, including the recipe for our delicious Black Bottom Pumpkin Tart.

A dry-brined roasted turkey takes center stage, served alongside lemony broccoli and Cornbread Dressing with Sausage and Collard Greens. For a little added zip with familiar flavors, Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes are accompanied by Cranberries with Orange Liqueur. Fluffy whipped cream tops a luscious Black Bottom Pumpkin Tart, paired with Almond-Toffee Florentines that contribute a lighter but no less grand finale.
