“我的曾祖母,102岁,总是会为感恩节做蜜饯的地瓜,”道格拉斯·威廉姆斯(Douglass Williams)说。2020 F&W Best New Chef. “I wanted to try to find a way to use those sweet potatoes the day after.” Since the potatoes are already sweetened, Williams cuts back the amount of brown sugar in the pancakes and plays up the warming cinnamon and clove.

Zoë Kanan (Happy Cooking Hospitality, New York City)

“I was inspired by the overstuffed, colorful, and briny pitas of Tel Aviv,” Kanan says of this next-level Thanksgiving sandwich. “The key here is introducing crunch to the sandwich. Use my recipe as a guide, and riff by including whatever textural ingredients you have around, like fried onions, sunflower seeds, or even wasabi peas.”

Shota Nakajima(西雅图TAKU)

As a kid, whenever Nakajima was hungry, he’d grab anything left over from the previous meal to make soup or fried rice. “I grew up in a Japanese family, and I was taught to never waste anything,” Nakajima says. This soup, a riff on his mother’s recipe, relies on two umami-packed ingredients,达西和soy sauce, to add depth to buttery leftovermashed potatoes.
