French chef Michel Richard didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving until he moved to the States. “I love Thanksgiving because there’s no gifts, it’s just food and family and friends. I also love having everyone together celebrating food, friends and family and all that we are thankful for,” Richard told Yeas & Nays. Like Richard, chef Fabio Trabocchi wasn’t familar with all of the American traditions. “Turkey is not something most Italians grow up eating, but I did, and this recipe is important to me as it is a family recipe.”
Chef Wolfgang Puck and his family served dishes with a bit of a punch. “In Austria, we often had sweet-tangy dishes for the holidays, such as braised red cabbage and cranberry relish,” he says.
