Thanksgiving Recipes: Appetizers


This year I am having a quiet thanksgiving with family. But that doesn't mean I can't spend lots and lots of time contemplating the perfect thanksgiving feast. Today, we'll cover appetizers (and accompanying appertifs)

Well, you walk in, I take your coat, and immediately hand you EatMakeRead's Dream a Little Dream cocktail. The cardamon warms the heart (and matches all those atumnal flavors) while the lemon piques you tastebuds.

Then you'll see, spread on the coffee table, a fine selection of appetizers, including:
+ Puff Pastry Pesto Pinwheels
+ Roasted Pears wrapped in bacon (from Tyler Florence, pictured above)
+ Crispy Olives stuffed with Sausage (From Michael Ciarello)
+ Manchego with Honey and Brown Butter (again, Tyler Florence)
+ A selection of Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, from 101 Cookbooks.

That's a good start, me thinks.
