But the thing is, wine doesn't need to be that complicated. When it comes to my work at Bon Appétit, I'm most interested in helping people loosen up around shopping for wine and just go with their instincts. Wine is not, in my experience, this big, scary thing. At its best, it's an exclamation point in an already wonderful meal. For me and the Bon Appétit team, it's an excuse to spend even more time around the dining table.

If Thanksgiving is a cook's holiday, then Friendsgiving is for the hosts. It's a gathering centered around community and offers every guest the chance to contribute, whether it's a dish or a drink, a centerpiece or a playlist. Here, we've gathered the best of our kitchen wisdom to answer your pressing alt-Turkey Day questions, shared decor picks fit for a feast, and of course, put together a menu that delivers on classic flavors while leaving elbow room for potluck dishes too.

The pound cake element in this sundae is the classic cream cheese Bundt we've had on Bon Appétit for over 20 years, halved to fit in a standard loaf pan.
