An All Things Local Amagansett Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday of the year. This year was particularly exciting for me as our entire dinner was from local just picked ingredients (except for the string beans which were only included because my 4 year old asked if we could have them with our Thanksgiving dinner).

The Menu:

Squash Soup - Medley of Roasted Quail Hill Squash Pureed into a creamy soup with Sage Pesto topped Crostini

Dry Brined Herb Roasted Turkey
Tom Colicchio’s Sausage Stuffing With Golden Raisins and Sage
Sweet-Potato Brûlée
Roasted Cranberry Sauce
