This Is Cool: An Infographic Cookbook

by Laura Norkin

After a long day at the office stringing words together in varying degrees of coherence, the last thing we want to do is keep communicating in complete sentences. Replacing the grunts and gestures we rely on to get dinner on the table, is Picture Cook, a tome that turns the traditional cookbook on its head; it offers illustrated recipes rather than wordy instructions.

by Verena von Pfetten 12:24 pm, November 23rd

Everyone knows that the best part of Thanksgiving is getting to eat the leftovers the next day. And while all the chefs we spoke to swear by the classic sandwich of cranberry sauce, turkey, and mayo on Wonderbread, they also offered up some surprisingly creative ideas for what to do with all that extra meat. From curry to meatballs, tacos to tetrazzini, they’ve got you covered. All you have to do is eat.

1.Andrew Zimmern

Go Fork Yourself: Thanksgiving 2012 "Turkey Tetrazzini. I mean, I love my pot pies and a la kings and soups, but on day three, I find myself more and more looking forward to this one. I usually use up my last scraps of meat, and the salty kiss of some killer parmesan with the pasta, crusty on the outside, yielding on the inside. It just makes me smile when I think about it. I have a turkey sandwich late on Thanksgiving itself, pot pie on day after, turkey a la king on day two... Tetrazzini on Sunday! Mmmmmm."

2.Luis Bollo

Restaurant: Salinas in New York, NY

"I love using the stuffing to mix it with ground beef and make Thanksgiving meatballs. The leftover gravy can be a great substitute for tomato sauce. To make more tasty meatballs, you want to add finely chopped red onions, parsley, and truffle aioli. If you can’t find truffle in your supermarket, just prepare a simple garlic mayo."

3.Aimee Olexy

Restaurants: Talula’s Garden and Talula’s Table in Philadelphia, PA

"I swap them out with friends who I trust for some of theirs -- that can be fun. We make composed leftover plates and trade them off. Oh, and Thanksgiving is really good in a tortilla too, like a taco."

4.Troy Guard

Restaurants: TAG and TAG Raw Bar in Denver, CO "I absolutely LOVE turkey leftovers, from turkey fried rice, turkey chili, turkey soup, turkey sandwiches, turkey hot pockets, turkey pizza!"

5.Paul Qui

Restaurants: Uchiko and East Side King in Austin, Texas

"Curry!"

6.Kevin Gillespie

Restaurant: Woodfire Grill in Atlanta, GA

"My favorite leftover is the classic turkey sandwich: white bread, lots of mayo, salt, pepper, and turkey. I wait all year for that sandwich."

7.Michael Chiarello

Restaurant: Bottega in Yountville, CA

"Turkey soup is great or paninis with all the fixings. I also make a brulee with leftover pumpkin pie."

8.Michael Ferraro

Restaurants: Delicatessen and macbar in New York, NY

“The leftover turkey can be used to make a turkey mac and cheese. It just keeps the comfort food going and is a meal in itself. The great part is that is allows to disguise leftovers because a lot of people get bored with easily recognizable dishes like a turkey sandwich. The turkey mac & cheese can end up becoming a Thanksgiving dish.”
