Our game plan this Thanksgiving starts early: From slow-cooker stuffing to celeriac soup, everything is almost entirely made ahead of time.

Flavours and textures that have mellowed out from a long loll in the oven or lazy burble on the stovetop seem right. There's also a gentleness to their preparation, a meaningful sort of idlenesssome stirring here, a few things to chop there and not much more. Embrace this more relaxed approach with Thanksgiving dishes that can be (and are often better when) made in advance.
