Rancho Gordo Thanksgiving 2021

We want to help make this your best Thanksgiving ever and gently nudge you towards the idea of a meal celebrating indigenous foods of the Americas. Traditional Thanksgiving dinners are a start but we've created an ebooklet to make your dinner shine.

Whether you're planning the whole show or just bringing a side dish to someone else's table, we've got you covered for both inspiration and actual recipes. To make things easy, we've assembled the ingredients from the ebooklet below.

One of our most popular holiday recipes is Alexis Handelman's Vegan Thanksgiving Main Course Salad. This video has Alexis explaining her thought process (which is charming and elaborate) as she prepares the salad.

Rancho Gordo: Holiday 2023

This is the time of the year when we remind you to breathe deeply and try your best to relax. If you are a gift-giver, that's admirable and kind, but remember, no one's happiness depends on your shopping! Well, unless you have children, and even then, relax.

We guess that your real happiness will come from spending quality time with quality people. Gifts are nice, but they're a bonus.
