The Friendsgiving Cookbook

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Friendsgiving Cookbook by Taylor Vance is the perfect resource for those who want to enjoy the joy of Thanksgiving without the stress of family drama. This cookbook offers an easy-going approach to creating a fun and unforgettable occasion with friends. It provides insight and advice for hosting a drama-free gathering, where eating and drinking take the spotlight.

By starting your own annual Friendsgiving tradition, you can release yourself from the tension and stress typically associated with big family gatherings. The book features tantalizing recipes for Graze All Day Appetizers, Potluck Main Attractions, No Meat Sides for No Meat Friends, and an Extra-Long Dessert Spread. With 50 easy and delicious recipes, you'll have plenty of options to choose from.

The Friendsgiving Cookbook also includes “A Little Extra...but in a Good Way” sidebars throughout the book. These provide valuable tips for food preparation, fun anecdotes, and helpful hints to make your Friendsgiving a super smash. The book encourages you to put new twists on old favorites for both the festivities and the feast.

The cover of this cookbook perfectly captures the essence of Thanksgiving. It is nicely laid out with colorful illustrations, photos, and easy-to-follow recipes. The inclusion of “little extras” such as tips and hints accompanying most of the recipes is a nice touch. Personally, I tried the “La Mia Famiglia Meatballs” and the “#Blessed Chocolate Bread,” and both were delicious! I am eagerly looking forward to making “The Best Stuffed Turkey Breast” this Thanksgiving.

One minor issue I had with this cookbook is that I wish there were more Thanksgiving-themed recipes. However, overall, The Friendsgiving Cookbook would be a great addition to anyone's cookbook collection.
