Jacques Pépin’s Thanksgiving Favorites

Menu: Mache Salad with Pecans, Pears and Goat Cheese - Roast Turkey with Mushroom Stuffing and Gravy - Apple Tart with Almond Filling

Class Description: "Thanksgiving, for me, is the greatest example of what a great dinner should be: a meal that welcomes people of all religious, political or ethnic persuasions. The table is the great equalizer, and everyone around that table gets along with one another and enjoys life with family and strangers alike. " — Jacques Pépin

For this very special class, we’ve partnered with Jacques Pépin to show you how to create an unforgettable Thanksgiving feast. Using Jacques’ Essential Pépin cookbook as our guide, we’ll walk you through the steps for everything from preparing and roasting turkey to making gravy with pan drippings. You’ll enjoy working alongside classmates, honing knife skills as we prepare classic stuffing and an amazing, autumn-inspired salad. Plus, our chef instructor will show you how to make flaky pastry dough and smooth almond paste for a scrumptious homemade apple tart. After mastering a few of Jacques Pépin’s essential techniques, you’ll look forward to creating a delicious holiday meal for family and friends.
