We received Sunset’s Easy Basics as a gift more than 20 years ago and still use some of the recipes. Despite its seemingly narrow focus, Thanksgiving 101 has a great selection of all American recipes.

For researching trivia (and settling kitchen disputes), we rely on Harold McGee’s On food and cooking.
