Succotash - a Thanksgiving recipe
This was a universal American Indian dish consisting as it did of the two most common ingredients to be found in the New World - corn and beans.
Maple glazed yams
This is one of the dishes I serve on Thanksgiving. Since our youngest son emigrated to Seattle in 2003 we have kept Thanksgiving. Really, as an excuse to have yet another dinner party.
Traditional pumpkin pie
My friend Christine's mother invited me for Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh, and shared her pumpkin pie recipe with me. I adapted in for British ingredients, and it has become a staple of my repetoire. When I first started making it 20 years ago, it was almost unheard of in the UK, but now it seems a bit more common. I use the American "cups" measurement because I have a set of them -- British cooks can use half a standard mug.

Slimmer's succotash
This is a much healthier version of the old American Indian dish traditionally served with the turkey at Thanksgiving.
