How We Do It is our series devoted to showing you how the chefs, cooks, and friends of The Food Channel prepare some of their favorite recipes. Because we know you are getting ready for the holidays, we have collected some of the best side dishes and salads into this Show series, to make it easy for you to watch, learn, and try them out in your own kitchen. These ideas will help, whether you are looking for something that might shake up your menu a bit--or just want the classic mashed potatoes that will make your guests say, "More, please."
