Jacques Pepin's Thanksgiving Celebration

"In these shows, it's cooking, cooking, cooking!" said an enthusiastic Pépin. "We're getting back to the basics, but we're also highlighting special dishes for the holidays." The show will cover such traditional holidays as Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, and Easter and other special days like Mother's Day, the 4th of July and Valentine's Day. Jacques is fond of saying that Thanksgiving is his favorite holiday - after all, it's the one holiday devoted entirely to cooking and eating. In this special one-hour tribute to turkey with all the trimmings, we get a peek at how one of the world's greatest French chefs prepares Thanksgiving dinner in his American home.
