Tis the season for holiday table\u00a0inspiration! Thanksgiving\u00a0is about three things: sustenance, mindful gratitude, and family. It\u2019s stories and flavors and all the ways in which they overlap. When Anthropologie<\/a> invited me to share\u00a0my take on a Thanksgiving table and menu that was equal parts nostalgia and novelty<\/a>, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I had a fridge full of amazing mushrooms & the pinkest Mountain Rose Apples, so I knew they\u2019d feature prominently. And I knew\u00a0that instead of turkey, I wanted to roast a beautiful spice brined duck. Read on for our menu & to see more of\u00a0the table I put together in\u00a0my favorite tones of copper & grey, my favorite tableware from Anthro<\/a>, and\u00a0the best version of an ikebana inspired centerpiece I could manage. A professional florist, I am not. But most of us hostesses aren\u2019t. Duct tape goes a long way. Just sayin\u2026<\/p>\n

Food memories are more inextricably intertwined with\u00a0this holiday than any other. Emotional attachments that defy culinary justification persist, like a love of canned cranberry sauce (or in my case my mom\u2019s off the back of a can pumpkin pie in a pre-made crust\u2026it\u2019s my favorite!) It\u2019s about remembering, about making the dishes of\u00a0people who have passed on and making the dishes that the people still with us love. Not dishes we love because of any finesse or genius, but because we love the memory. Food\u2019s relationship to emotion and memory is integral; to divorce it from that ephemera is to do it violence, and that\u2019s why I created this menu to be equal parts novelty and nostalgia, complete with a bird, greens, and a vegetable that\u2019s so rich it defeats the point of being a vegetable:<\/p>\n

You can find, along with the Apple Rose Tart\u00a0recipe, sources for the items\u00a0we used to lay our table on Anthropologie\u2019s blog <\/a>along with an interview where I talk everything from favorite Thanksgiving traditions, to planning, to color palette<\/a>. And pro (haha) tip: to do the floral arrangement in the gorgeous copper & wood bowl we filled it with water and taped off a grid on one side. It would have been much easier with a flower frog or foam on hand. : )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A big thanks to Anthro<\/a> for teaming up with us for this project & providing such gorgeous tableware for this photoshoot!<\/div>\n
