Spatchcocking optimizes the cooking process, heating the turkey more quickly and evenly compared to roasting it whole.

Spatchcocking a bird radically reduces its roasting time. Food scientist Jennifer Pallian shows us how.

This undemanding soup—heady with leeks and sweet with veg—is made with vegetables that have gone lax in the oven before being simmered and requires little supervision. Miso sneaks in for the grounding note without overpowering the subtle flavours.—Tara O'Brady

Startlingly effective despite its simplicity, this salad of bitter greens provides essential brightness to a holiday table. The vinaigrette is inspired by agrodolce, a sticky and tart Italian condiment usually served with meat and veg. It nimbly walks the line between sour and sweet.—Tara O'Brady
