Just TWO Days Until Thanksgiving 101: Don't Miss Out!

Just a short post from me today as I'm running around finalizing the details and shopping for the Thanksgiving cooking class I'm hosting here in New York City THIS Saturday (Nov 5). I still have a few spots left so if you've been thinking about possibly signing up, I urge you to do so! Every time I teach a class, I get emails the next day from people who missed the class wondering if I'll be teaching it again. Just to clarify, This is the ONLY Thanksgiving cooking class I'll be hosting this year so if you miss this, you're out of luck!  Don't let that be you!

The tips you learn here will also serve you well for Christmas, Passover, Easter, or just about any other large dinner party you host! Thanksgiving is the theme, but these tips will serve you well ALL YEAR LONG.

I'll be covering everything from planning and shopping to preparation and cooking a full holiday meal. You'll learn how to prep your ingredients and schedule your cooking so as to eliminate that last minute rush. We'll also cover techniques such as making a successful pan gravy, prepping and trussing a turkey, and much more!

The class is totally hands-on, and really fun and relaxed. I serve snacks (think brie, grapes, crudite, apples, crackers, nuts, etc.) and wine, play music, and will answer as many questions as you have. And then we get to sit down to enjoy the feast we prepared! Eugene usually shows up near the end just as dinner is ready and joins us (his timing is impeccable).

Here's what we'll be making:
Smokey Citrus Rubbed Roast Turkey with Apricot Glaze
Pan Gravy
Sausage and Cranberry Stuffed Mushrooms
Spiced Cranberry Orange Sauce
Creamed Kale
Glazed Carrots
Caramelized Sweet Potatoes
Cornbread and Chorizo Stuffing
Classic Sage Bread Stuffing
4-Ingredient Potatoes au Gratin
Spiced Pumpkin Pie Mousse with Homemade Whipped Cream
Flourless Chocolate Cake with Warm Fig Compote


P.S. Not in the NY/NJ area? I would love it if you would help me spread the word about my class by forwarding this post to a friend who is. (Or better yet...TEN friends! ;) And if YOU have any questions about your own Thanksgiving menu, feel free to email me. I'm happy to help!
