Cookin'

Now that we've all digested, I can go back to a couple of days ago. And what a day it was! With three chefs in the kitchen with lofty ambitions, one can expect a Thanksgiving menu to be over the top- and it was! Quite literally, actually....we made the entire menu from the Gourmet magazine's "over the top" Thanksgiving, with a few traditional family recipes added

Thanks to Raj (and a little to Gourmet magazine) for all these beautiful photos.

So, we had....

Goat cheese marbles rolled in pecans



Foie gras toasts with Sauternes Gelee'



Smokes sable tartar with marinated beets and watercress



Grandma's rolls



Cranberry apple relish



Wild mushroom bundles with collard greens



Roasted sweet potatoes with fried sage



Brown family stuffing



Pureed parsnips with brussels sprouts leaves



One fantastic turkey



Celery apple granita



Grandma's apple pie



Pumpkin Souffle'



We cooked for three days, and the payoff was worth it



Especially when shared with family
