Recipes that Give Grandma a Run for Her Money

There are two constants for almost every holiday — family and food. The connection between the two is often traditions — your grandma’s stuffing, your great aunt’s gravy and, for many of you, some tryptophan-induced time on the couch watching football. But as Emeril would say, it never hurts to kick it up a notch. So, check out our newest search feature, Recipe Shortcuts, to find a few ideas that just might give grandma’s Thanksgiving, Hanukkah or Christmas recipes a bit of competition at the dinner table.

Here’s how Recipe Shortcuts work. Just add the word ‘recipes’ after what you’re looking to cook up and you’ll see a corresponding list of categories as well as top-rated recipes from 14 providers, including Epicurious, EatingWell, Food & Wine, Every Day with Rachael Ray, and Martha Stewart, via Yahoo! Food.

Recipe Shortcuts allow you to search based on cuisine (e.g. ‘Italian recipes‘), ingredient (e.g. ‘turkey recipes‘), meal (e.g. ‘brunch recipes‘), and dish (e.g. cake recipes).

Perhaps a bit premature, but once the New Year rolls in, you’ll be happy to know that you can also search for diet type (e.g. ‘low fat recipes‘).
