SWEET POTATO PUREE
Steps:
- Place a steamer insert or a mesh colander in a large pot and add enough water to reach the bottom of the steamer. Place the sweet potatoes in the steamer and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and cook over simmering water for about 25 minutes, until very tender. Check occasionally to be sure the water doesn't boil away.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, slowly add the half-and-half, orange zest, orange juice, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. With the mixer still on low, add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Taste for seasonings and mix until smooth. Serve hot.

SWEET POTATO-COCONUT PUREE
Patricia Yeo, 42, a Chinese American, was born in the United States but grew up in England without a Thanksgiving tradition. Today, as the executive chef of AZ and Pazo in New York City, she loves to cook Thanksgiving dinner because of the creativity that can be put into side dishes. 'I wanted to do a sweet potato puree, but instead of using cream I decided to use coconut milk. Coconut's a big thing in Southeast Asian cooking. This dish is great because you simply cannot screw it up.'
