It's that time of year again; time for fun with family, rest, relaxation, and decadent dishes! The Penguin Online group has put together a collection of our very best recipes from some of our very best cookbooks to help you and yours celebrate Thanksgiving.

Avoid a Thanksgiving disaster: if any of these scenarios hit close to home, you'll be thankful for Penguin Recipes, a wonderful collection of recipes chosen from some of our most popular cookbooks!

Scenario 1: Your 67-year-old Aunt Cleo, who was supposed to cook Thanksgiving dinner, eloped with her 22-year-old masseur and is now honeymooning in Fiji! You are stuck cooking Thanksgiving dinner for 15 people and have NO recipes or cookbooks at home. Penguin Recipes will give you some delicious ideas to help you save the day while your aunt catches rays.

Scenario 2: Your cousin Lauren, aka "Little Miss Perfect," has always made the hors d'oeuvres on Thanksgiving night and, of course, they've always been perfect. This year she's studying for her MCAT (yes, she's decided to go to medical school) so you'll have to handle the appetizers. To absolutely knock everyone's socks off and get the relatives talking about how great YOU are, consult Penguin Recipes.

Scenario 3: Your new girlfriend is definitely "the one." This year she's coming to Thanksgiving to meet your family for the first time. To distract her from your crazy Uncle Dan's antique stamp collection and your mom's intense need to show off your baby bathtub pictures you've volunteered to make dessert... she'll be safe with you in the kitchen. Find a suitably complex and impressive recipe to distract and wow her in Penguin Recipes.

Even if none of these scenarios apply to you, we're sure you'll love our collection of recipes. Have a happy holiday! Don't forget to get a head start on the gift-giving season with the Penguin Gift Guide while enjoying your holiday.
