good-taste_pumpkin_gingerbread_trifle_recipeDry-brining makes a comeback this Thanksgiving. Find out why cooks—home cooks and the pros—are dry-brining their birds this year. It’s easy, and mostly hands-off. For tips, Chris Prosperi joins us via phone from beautiful Florida, where he’s cooking for thousands during Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival. Also, novelist-turned-cookbook author (and Connecticut local!) Jane Green shares her new book with us, Good Taste.  Her recipes are all about good food, simply prepared for family and friends. The more the merrier. Our favorites from her book : Curried Parsnip and Apple Soup, to start off the feast, and two sweet, beautiful ways to end it: Flourless Chocolate Chestnut Truffle Torte and a showstopping Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle.

Aired: November 10, 2016 and November 2, 2017
