Thanksgiving Menu - The Preliminary Version

kosher turkeys are the bestturkey, all finishedP1010317chestnuts open up when they're roastedP1010302




It's slowly coming together. We've got 16 people in total attending this feast. And there's nothing that will stop me from delivering an amazing dinner to my friends.

I've probably mentioned that Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday - a holiday that's about being with the people you love, all coming together, eating the food and sharing the laughter and the talks. In my mind, there are few things more joyous or life-affirming. No one worrying about presents, no one stressed out by anyone's expectations - a true celebration!

The Menu:

  • Arugula Salad with Pomegranate & Toasted Pecans

  • Prosciutto e Melone

  • Porcini Mushroom Soup

  • Roast Turkey with Orange/Apple Cider Reduction

  • 2 Kinds of Stuffing (TBD)

  • Mashed Potatoes with Goat Cheese and Sage

  • Sweet Potatoes (TBD)

  • Butternut Squash (TBD)

  • Cranberry Sauce with Cayenne Pepper

  • Roasted Fennel & Haricots Verts in Lemon-Rosemary Dressing

  • Dessert - TBD

  • Wine and Port Programme to Complement
