Celebrate Thanksgiving with Rouxbe

Since living in the U.S., I have become very fond of their Thanksgiving holiday. I like the timing of it, as it really gears you up for Christmas and the New Year. You are able to indulge in over a month of parties and superb, comforting dinners - the ones where calorie-counting is forbidden. And who doesn't like a four-day weekend, which includes parades and a shopping extravaganza? I loved it.

Being that I, once again, live north of the border, I really missed the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday last year. This year is different though - I feel especially connected this time around, and have already eaten more turkey in the past six weeks, than I have in the last 8 years! Why? Well, over at Rouxbe, we have been extremely busy testing 8 traditional Thanksgiving recipes. So busy, that I can't believe a month has passed since my last blog entry. But we've been working hard to perfect each one, so we can help you create an entire Thanksgiving meal with ease. Cooking for 12 this holiday season? No problem.

Aside from learning 8 new recipes, and the skills and techniques behind them, we have created the world's first-ever multi-task recipe player, showing you how to manage 8 dishes from start to finish. Cooking like a pro is all about being organized, so over the course of 3 days, these players walk you through the recipes, step-by-step. We have done the organizing for you - from printable shopping lists all the way to checking the turkey and how to carve it. Rouxbe's multi-task player is free until the end of the year, but make sure to check out Rouxbe's membership options and get sponsored!

What can be better than having a multi-task player, showing you how to cook multiple dishes at the same time? Hmmmmm...let me think. How about an online cooking school? At Rouxbe, we're already filming the first series of the Rouxbe Cooking School. Here, you'll learn all the skills and techniques that you would learn if you enrolled in culinary school...but all at your pace, in the comfort of your own home. How cool is that? Two of my most favorite chefs in the whole world, Tony and Christophe, are working alongside us to bring you the best-of-the-best instruction. Soon, you'll be able to understand recipes and not be a slave to them. 

You'd think I'd be sick of turkey by now...but I'm not. I've already planned to brine a turkey and cook Rouxbe's entire delicious dinner for my family this holiday season. Stay tuned for more exciting news through Rouxbe's blog.
