Discover a whole new way to celebrate Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is probably North America’s foremost culinary holiday; a feast of gratitude for the autumn harvest and a celebration of all the hard work invested in a fruitful season of farming. All the incredible bounty of the local harvest makes a cliche meal of dry turkey and gloopy cranberry sauce seem like are real missed opportunity to celebrate what season is all about. (Both are relatively modern introductions to a day that was only declared a national holiday in the US in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln, and in Canada sixteen years later. In fact, Canada didn’t officially settle on a date until 1957)

To bring a fresh spin to this celebration of the season, The Dep’s resident vegan maven, Emily Zimmerman, brings her creative and diverse repertoire of influences to create a truly festive harvest table that everyone can enjoy.
