Recently pulled from the archives, Jacques Pépin Celebrates: Thanksgiving features Jacques Pépin at his most skilled and thoughtful as he prepares an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner with his family. This holiday special opens with Jacques’ late wife Gloria helping to prepare a salmon appetizer while daughter Claudine assists with the turkey dinner and sides. Many friends drop in along the way and lend their expertise on everything from mushroom foraging to apple cider fermentation. True to form, Jacques peppers in pieces of kitchen wisdom throughout the video: why to cook the stuffing separately, why you should steam the turkey before roasting, how to bone fish, and more. The holidays can be stressful and filled with feelings, let the soothing voice of Jacques Pépin guide you through it.
Recipes in this video include salmon appetizers, chocolate bourbon prune cake, roast turkey with mushroom stuffing, butternut squash gratin, brussels sprouts, and more.
