Home cooks can count on "The New York Times" to talk turkey this year.  The newspaper's new cookbook is steeped in 150 years of recipes and advice, with a dash of humor from author Amanda Hesser.  Hesser is also a food blogger and chef who insists she didn't set out to uncover more than a century of advice for home cooks. However, the more she dug through archives, the larger the project got.  "The New York Times Cookbook" boasts some 17-hundred recipes and Hesser tried them all.  The paper's last cookbook came out in 1961.  Hesser says there's a special index section for Thanksgiving, including her favorite takes on stuffing, candied yams with lemon and even the formidable turducken -- a triple whammy of turkey, duck and chicken.
Wow, I think I could actually make good use of this cookbook...  150 years of advice, love it!  What's your favorite cookbook - or Thanksgiving recipe?
