The Gobbler is a great way to use your Thanksgiving leftovers. You can substitute cranberry sauce for the tapenade and day-old green bean casserole for the fried shallots and green beans. But what makes this recipe great is that it gives you the opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving year-round.

Flourless Chocolate Cake on the Grill
You can mix up this flourless chocolate cake batter and put it in the pan well before you bake it, so it’s easy to put it on the grill while you’re having dinner. The cake will puff up nicely and look gorgeous, and then it will deflate and look less gorgeous. Don’t worry, you can make it lovely on the plate.
Grilled New Potato Salad
This salad is so potato- ey, onion- ey, and herb- ey that you’ll make it all the time during new potato season, then you’ll make it after new potato season, too; I promise.
Salmon with Tarragon Butter, Grilled on the Skin
Cooking fish on the skin side, which protects the meat from direct heat, leaves it so moist and tender that I can’t quite imagine any other way to cook it. This makes for quite a lunch or supper, particularly when you serve it with basic grilled leeks and a chilled Saumur- Champigny.
Linda Giuca’s Summer Pastina with Cheese and Corn
How do you summer-ify a comforting mac-and-cheese? Add fresh corn, of course!
Tucci’s Tart Crust
I adored Tucci’s fruit tarts, so he shared this recipe with me one morning as we were leaving Annecy and I was already pining for my tarts.
