[@runaway817]

Melissa Clark can do no wrong

[@Debba521]

Okay, I'm totally sold on the pumpkin butterscotch pudding! That looks so incredibly yummy. I've never made my own pudding, but for this I will try. Had a bit of a laugh at the beginning when she had an issue with hand mixer beaters 😁.

I LOVE Melissa Clark, I always get so excited when I see a new video with her!!

[@vilhelmlin1]

Melissa has helped me pull off Thanksgiving for over a decade. I still use her simple roast turkey recipe every year.

[@Nick-hz9no]

I love Melissa Clark. I will watch a video about hear cutting coupons for dollar store mustard... I hate mustard. Please, more Melissa.

[@princessrosashow8486]

Yuuuuuuuuuum, it's so good you know what ?I want this in the morning. I'm going to try it out.

Been making Melissa’s gingersnap apple crisp instead of pie for years. These look great!

[@kyleminor]

Vaughn Vreeland guest spot! This vid is just getting better and better.

[@helenrigg8919]

[@ernestgraham]

[@funFOODfrolic]

Hey this is so fun! I loved this Thanksgiving dessert recipes, they're all so different and yummy. Thanks for sharing!

[@ericadancewithme]

First time watching Melissa. Damn I love her!!! Those recipes feel so so accessible yet impressive. Love it

[@pamchamberlin6703]

I was guessing you were going to use the extra egg whites to make a meringue on that custard. That sounds good to me and maybe a little less rich than the whipped cream. Thanks for the great video and recipes.

[@TPark-rf3lt]

"The tyranny of pies" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kgy1371]

Definitely will try to whoppie pie. Will be a nice change from the standard rows of pies.

[@suzcruise]

That pudding looks like it would be great in a pie shell...

[@xtineonutube]

Oh wow THERE she is - the queen of awesome food!

[@trentbush38]

I have been reading NY Times food section since very early Craig Claiborne. Melissa Clark is the very best!

[@arshbehal6312]

You know life is good when there is Melissa and Vaughn together in a video.

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

omg... you're like a doppelganger for my cousin Sandy!

[@brodielancaster]

i'm australian and have only been to one thanksgiving, and brought a pavlova which went down a treat!

[@BrochtrupBean]

MORE MELISSA, PLEASE 🙏🏻

[@simcastpodvids]

GREAT CONTENT

[@bethanyhunter8091]

I adore her. 🎉❤🎉

[@asmafarried9416]

Is there a list of ingredients with measurements for these recipes?

[@cookiea1728]

Oh my goodness..I want them all, but that pumpkin pudding...yes please!!!

[@TS-eo9uf]

You can also torch the little bubbles that happen when you pour an agar plate in the same way!!!!!!!

[@susanchristopher8523]

Love love love Melissa Clark! Where can I find her pear cake recipe? I’m not seeing it on NYT cooking website!

[@princessrosashow8486]

🤗

[@sunnydaysonly420]

Thank you for brilliant dessert ideas that I won't just do on Thanksgiving!

[@terrydearmas4542]

Would love the actual recipe for the red wine pear cake please.

[@SusanSlattery]

OMG, flat surface egg breaking. Gotta try that. Always breaking the yolk.

[@bethflynn5342]

I can’t find pear cake recipe on NYT Cooking!!

[@penguin112493]

Hi Melissa Clark you're incredible but why would you ever possibly want a dessert that isn't pie?? But really these recipes are pretty great and the pumpkin butterscotch custard looks incredible.

[@vittoriabakes]

I'll bet that pear cake would be really good with some brandied peaches as an alternative.

[@shttc900]

This is the new B.A. Test Kitchen -- in the best way.

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@SYDNEYKMASON]

That red wine pear cake needed a light dusting of powdered sugar at the end. Just a little garnish to make it...pop. 😋

[@lisaboban]

Lumps of cream cheese never make me sad.

[@davidhaeri8517]

first viewer!

[@AlanBram]

I love Melissa too. But hey, during the pumpkin caramel pudding you told us not to break the eggs on the edge of the bowl; but then during the pear cake you did exactly that. What gives?

[@hatruong5219]

Bruh using a blowtorch for the bubbles is such a waste of gas

[@e.m8784]

Too New Yorkishhhhh!

[@jayysii]

Put the custard in any crust and it’s a pie tho LOL

[@kk-fl4pb]

Right?! I wouldn't even call it an "easy," recipe at all.

[@leviwright6431]

The recipes look great, but first recipe kind of just looks like pumpkin pie without the crust.
