Then, we bring on the carbs with scientist-turned-cook, Nik Sharma as he explains the thinking behind his delicious Masala Cheddar cornbread, a combination of savory and sweet that is a must in your Thanksgiving menu. His latest book is The Flavor Equation. Then, Senior Editor of New York Times Cooking, Genevieve Ko tells us what Thanksgiving was like growing up eating traditional Chinese dishes alongside the turkey, and how it has become a more than a once-a-year feast for her family.
