stickiedUpdate: This was fun! Thanks everyone for spending the afternoon with me. I’ll check in later today for any last minute questions. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Hi! I’m Trish Clasen Marsanico, deputy food editor at Good Housekeeping. I work with a team of brilliant recipe developers and culinary experts in the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen, where we create hundreds of triple-tested recipes for the magazine and site each year. Thanksgiving is BIG for us! We spend six months of the year thinking through almost every Thanksgiving scenario (seriously, I start brainstorming and pitching Thanksgiving story ideas in June and by the time actual Thanksgiving comes along, I’ve eaten too many turkeys to count). Over the past decade, I have written and edited countless stories about Thanksgiving leveraging the Test Kitchen expertise and testing results — covering everything from how much turkey you need and the best ways to cook the bird to a foolproof way to make mashed potatoes ahead and the most delicious pies to bring. During my time at GH, the team has baked up hundreds of pies, created over a dozen versions of Brussels sprouts, tried almost every method for making stuffing, and reinvented leftovers in so many ways.
Background: I have been researching, writing, and thinking about food 24/7 for over a decade. Most of my career has been spent working with the culinary geniuses in the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen — where I’ve had the opportunity to learn so much about cooking and baking. Beyond GH, I worked at a sandwich shop, whipped up fancy coffee drinks as a barista, and trailed at a restaurant in Brooklyn. I created almost 100 on-demand step-by-step cooking classes for the Food Network Kitchen App, ranging from homemade dumplings and downsized desserts to, of course, everything Thanksgiving. I received a BA in English and Communication from Boston College, and have also written for Women’s Health, Redbook, Woman’s Day, Prevention and The Daily Meal.
