Grammie Fryer’s Dinner Rolls
Beets with Balsamic-Pistachio Brittle, Goat Cheese & Thyme
"An artfully arranged platter of beets, cheese and brittle is a sexy side dish so sweet and delicious that you could almost choose to serve it for dessert."
Laird's Fruit Stuffing
Stuffing is a personal thing. I like this recipe from my friend Laird Saunderson because I love fruit stuffing with turkey. If you are more traditional, replace the apples with a pound of crumbled sausage meat, and use chopped fresh sage instead of tarragon.
For the best results, use slightly stale bread. Challah or egg bread makes an excellent stuffing.
Place any extra stuffing in a greased baking dish and bake, covered, for an hour at 375°F.
Perfect Roast Turkey with Pan Gravy
Mixed Vegetables in a Mustard and Cumin Sauce
One of our favourite dishes from Camille and Michael's wedding. Frying the potatoes and cauliflower is a long process, but it's worth it!
Peas with Whole Cumin and Mustard Seeds (Malaidar Matar)
The tarka this time is of cumin and mustard seeds, but they provide only the background taste. It is the tomato-cream sauce, flavored with the aromatic garam masala, that provides for the main flavors in this dish.
Serves 5 to 6
