Herb Roasted Turkey with Maple Gravy

Even though he's lived in Los Angeles for 11 years, chef Lee Hefter gravitates to people from the East Coast, who, like him, might have seen the fall foliage every year and watched maple syrup being tapped. "When you grow up with these memories," he says, "you want to share them." He thinks adding maple syrup to gravy makes it go better with all the traditional Thanksgiving side dishes.

Spiced and Grilled Shrimp and Beans

Once the evenings remain even vaguely warm, I love to fire up the grill and cook dinner outside. Last night I was in the mood for shrimp and barbecue so I decided to make a marinade that’d be equally good on chicken or beef (future BBQ plans) and, because what’s a good barbecue without beans, grill some beans too. Garbanzos have the perfect degree of firmness to hold up atop a fire so I chose those rather than white beans (too fragile), red beans (too “beefy”) or black beans (more Mex than my marinade was). These turned out deliciously well. You’ll need 1-2 grill baskets lined with foil, and start this recipe an hour or so before you'll grill as the shrimp need to marinate.
