How I Fed 20 People Every Thanksgiving in a Tiny Kitchen

Hosting Thanksgiving in a small kitchen? Here's how I fed 20 people every Thanksgiving for 50 years with one oven and a kitchen the size of a closet. In this video I share my 7 small-kitchen Thanksgiving hosting tips: how to set up a Thanksgiving buffet in a small space, the serving-dish trick that stops the last-minute panic, how to keep food warm without a second oven (my picnic cooler secret), an easy Thanksgiving oven schedule so everything is hot at the same time, how to set up a buffet line so 20 guests move fast, and the job cards that finally let me sit down with my family. Whether you're cooking Thanksgiving dinner for a large group, hosting a crowd in a tiny apartment, or hosting your first Thanksgiving, these make-ahead tips work in any small kitchen. Tell me in the comments: how many are you feeding this Thanksgiving, and how big is your kitchen?
