Thanksgiving dinner

Gonul did another great holiday meal. Everything was well received, but the Turkey, of course, is always the center piece. Her secret for a perfect Turkey is fairly simple and will fit into many recipe variations. Start with a quality Turkey. Gonul uses oraganic Turkies from Diestel. She then brines the Turkey in red wine, vegetable stock and herbs. Guarenteed to be moist and juicy -- even when reheated for leftovers.

Beet Salad

Its root vegetable time at the farmer's market. Bought, among many other things, some great beets. Ask for our beet salad special. We are also doing a really generous promotion for the next couple of months. For $40, get a four course dinner for two, including a bottle of wine (house white or red depending on the entree).

Spicy Citrus Sauce

I was experimenting with all the great citrus from my garden and developed a wonderful spicy citrus sauce. It will be part of our Thanksgiving prix fix dinner. This will be a good recipe for my next cookbook.
