Well, our Thanksgiving tradition of adventure continues with our 2017 feast. I can't remember the last time I've roasted a turkey for our table. This year, we're heading to Morocco by tabletop.
Inspired by the receipt of my first tagine, I asked the Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf to peruse my Claudia Rodin cookbook - Arabesque: A Taste of Morocco, Turkey, & Lebanon - and come up with a menu. Then we adjusted based on what's in season and a good balance of color and texture. Here's what we have planned...
I'll share recipes and photos throughout the weekend. But I wanted to give a shoutout of gratitude to Farmer Jamie of Serendipity Farms for the bounty of Fall veggies. I wish I could have worked more of them into this menu, but I had already battled with D on some of the dishes; he wasn't budging. And an extra special thank you to my friend Erin at the I. Brand & Family tasting room in Carmel Valley village for her expert help in picking wines to pair. Thank you, thank you!

arabesque / noun / an ornament or style that employs flower, foliage, or
fruit and sometimes animal and figural outlines to produce an intricate pattern
of interlaced lines.
