NOVEMBER 2025
As this season of gratitude begins, I want to take a moment to thank each of you. This year — marked by the loss of federal funding for public media — has tested TPT in ways we’ve never faced in our nearly 70- year history. Yet you didn’t hesitate. You stood with us. You spoke up to elected officials. You gave generously. You believed in our mission and refused to let it falter. Because of you, we’ve kept moving forward. We’re deeply thankful — and more committed than ever. This month, we’re thrilled to deliver some of the year’s most powerful and anticipated stories. On November 16, acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns launches his monumental six-part, 12-hour series, "The American Revolution." This sweeping documentary takes us deep into the birth of our nation — spotlighting the people, the conflicts, and the ideals that still shape our democracy today. November is also Native American Heritage Month, and we are honored to highlight stories from Indigenous voices. On November 24, “Bring Them Home” shares the story of the only tribal-led buffalo drive in North America with the Blackfeet Nation, and offers a moving narrative of a young Blackfeet girl’s path from trauma to recovery. And on November 28, our own original TPT production, “The Electric Indian,” explores the remarkable and deeply human journey of Henry Boucha, Olympic medalist, hockey legend and Native leader. Closer to home, we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of Be My Neighbor Day on November 15. For a decade, this special event has filled our studios with joy, as children and families gather with Daniel Tiger to celebrate kindness, community and connection.
A NOTE FROM SYLVIA

Cooking Confidence, One Recipe at a Time
For nearly 25 years, “America’s Test Kitchen” has helped home cooks approach recipes with confidence, curiosity, and a little humor. Co-hosts Julia Collin Davison and Bridget Lancaster have tested thousands of recipes on camera and in the test kitchen, uncovering what works — and what doesn’t — so you don’t have to. We caught up with the pair to talk about their own early experiments in the kitchen, the trends they love (and those they don’t) and their advice for making cooking less stressful — especially during the holidays. What’s the first dish you remember making? Bridget: One of the first things I ever made on my own was lemon meringue pie. I loved it — and still do. But my little brother booby-trapped the kitchen with string tied between cabinet handles. I didn’t see it coming, tripped and the pie went flying. Years later, we laugh about it — but at the time, I was not amused! Julia: I was about six when I baked a baguette from a Julia Child cookbook while my mom rested upstairs. I’d baked bread with her before, but this time I did it myself — impatiently waiting for the dough to rise. That moment shaped how I think about cooking: Follow the steps, but be curious. What advice do you have for cooks who feel intimidated? Bridget: Find the small victories. Pick a simple recipe and make it a few times until it becomes second nature. And sharpen your knives — it’ll make everything easier. Julia: Get a good instant-read thermometer. It removes all the guesswork about when food is done. What’s one trend you’re loving right now? Bridget: Low-waste and batch cooking — it’s what my family always did. Julia: Prep-ahead cooking. It makes weeknights easier and helps cut down on food waste. What are your best holiday cooking hacks? Bridget: Plan ahead and freeze what you can — pie dough, gravy, anything. And remember, you don’t have to make everything yourself ! Julia: Stock the freezer with soups and stews. A big Dutch oven and stackable containers are lifesavers. “America’s Test Kitchen” hosts Julia Collin Davison and Bridget Lancaster share their earliest cooking memories, kitchen hacks and holiday sanity-savers.
From pie mishaps to perfectly tested recipes, Bridget and Julia remind us that confidence in the kitchen comes from patience, planning and plenty of practice. And remember: You can watch “America’s Test Kitchen” throughout the busy holiday season on Saturdays on TPT 2, or stream it anytime on the PBS App.
