• Recipe: Panko Crusted Sesame Scallion Shrimp Balls with a trio of dipping sauces

  These were a huge hit and look great on a platter! If you can’t find fresh water chestnuts, use canned. They are definitely not as crunchy and have a bit of a canned taste.

• Recipe: Bacon Potato Pancakes w/ Granny Smith Apple & Green Tomato Chutney and Sour Cream

  When life gives you chutney, you better find ways to serve it up. I made these for Thanksgiving starters to sate the guests till the turkey is ready! I had two Thanksgivings and this was a bacon Parmesan johnny cake the first day, but they were just okay, so I whipped these up and they were stunning!

• Thanksgiving 2009 Jax put the pots on!

  Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday! I’m so excited about Thanksgiving (read: since I don’t have my chocolate cafe weighing on me like it has the last four years) this year that I’m having it twice! For the family on Thursday and on the Friday for my friends who have to work in restaurants on Thanksgiving with a sprinkling of who were otherwise occupied on Thursday. Here is the menu as it stands now. I use a combination of dishes that that are traditional with dishes I make up to use up stuff I have too much of (read: chocolate, nuts, toffee) and a couple of things that are new and fun in the starter section. Until I actually make dinner, there are no pictures. I will do my best to get some shots on the day!
