My recipe is a simple one inspired by another recipe in the CI magazine issue called All-Time Best Thanksgiving Recipes. I am not sure it’s new. It sounds like a reprint from an earlier year. I have seen publishers recycle content. So if you plan on buying, check to see if you already have it. If you collect.
