Happy Thanksgiving (+ a tart recipe)

It's Thanksgiving! What better thing to encompass all that Thanksgiving is about (butter, winter squash, alcohol) than the awesome tarts below, made by Emily Beebe for our holiday food workshop last week. She's got a blog with lots more recipes, but seriously, these are amazing.

Holiday Cooking Wrap Up

Huge, huge thanks to our awesome presenters at last night's workshop! 

First, we totally stuffed ourselves on 50 million varieties of savory tarts from Emily Beebe. Seriously, there were so many, and they were so good, like this beet and goat cheese variety.  If I had to choose one though, it would be the caldo verde - a take on Portuguese kale soup - with plenty of sausage, potatoes, and kale. Amazing.  Over at The Wooden...
