Endive leaves with grapes, hazelnuts and roquefort
What’s your feeling about hors d’oeuvres on Thanksgiving? Â I know most people (like me) spend so much time cooking so much food for arguably the biggest meal of the year.
I come from a large Italian-American family with 28 first cousins (on one side of the family!) where sit-down holiday dinners for 85 people are the norm (how, you might ask – organization! But more on that later …).
Some of my fondest memories are of simple family gatherings, both large and small, with long tables of bowls and platters piled high, the laughter of my cousins echoing and the comfort of tradition warming my soul.
