With the holiday season upon us, you may be preparing to dust off a favorite but unexpected recipe for a dish that turns heads at parties.

And NPR wants to know all about your go-to surprise dishes and cooking ingredients you use during this time of year. It can be a tasty pound cake recipe or even a secret ingredient you use to make your stuffing pop.

Let us know in the form below all about your dish or secret ingredient that's a regular on your holiday menu.

You can also upload a photo of your dish or ingredient.

An NPR producer may reach out to you in the coming days to hear your story.

Please submit responses by Dec. 18 at 6 p.m. ET.

Your submission will be governed by our general Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. As the Privacy Policy says, we want you to be aware that there may be circumstances in which the exemptions provided under law for journalistic activities or freedom of expression may override privacy rights you might otherwise have.
