Thanksgiving is such a great American holiday! It's a uniting event celebrated all across the country. The holiday's centerpiece is the table we share with others on that day. It's a flexible feast with a personality that's full of both tradition and innovation.

IN THIS ISSUE, while others are "talking turkey," we're focused on the potatoes. We've had Thanksgiving celebrations without turkey (vegetarian years), but never a table without potatoes! We're serving Istrian Potatoes, a Parmesan Potato Gratin, and an unusual twist on Twice-Baked Potatoes. Also, we share our tips for better Mashed Potatoes and Gravy.

Our Cooking School

We have a great line-up of classes planned for the season ahead. It's a great way to spend an evening or day! We look forward to having you in our kitchen soon! Cooking classes make a great date night too! Get all of the details on our website's Cooking Class page or Click the Class Titles below.
