Happy Thanksgiving
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009Well Turkey Day is almost here, I have just finished marinating my turkeys for cooking tomorrow, slow cook with breast down for the first half is my secret let all those nice juices from the back baste the breast, the magic is to turn it before the breast becomes soft and flat or we will have a delicious but flat chested turkey.
I had a request to make some vegan dishes to accompany the turkey for a family, did a wild rice and grilled portabella stuffing, Jasmine rice with lime and cilantro, acorn squash and grilled egg plant warm salad in a ginger mango teriyaki sauce.
also doing some vegetable dumplings for apps, decided to do them in a puff pastry, a cute little pillow, as I did not think the dumpling skin would hold up to a reheat,
Peach cobbler seems to be on everybodies list, busy preping for the best cobblers in town.
Thursday i am taking the day off from cooking and kitchen clothes getting all dressed up and heading to a beach hotel for a delicous and fattening buffet dinner.
Heres best wishes for a perfect Turkey day spent with those we love.
Chef Jackie
