A Thanksgiving Cook-Along for Solo Cooks
🦃 Dinner for One — Together!
This Thanksgiving, I’m inviting solo cooks everywhere to join me for something special — a cozy, live cook-along where we’ll turn a simple meal into a cozy celebration — together, from our own kitchens.
Because being solo on Thanksgiving doesn’t mean cooking alone.
We’ll be making my Mix & Match Holiday Plate — a flexible, feel-good meal that lets you choose your own main (meat, seafood, or plant-based), pick your flavor “team,” and build a festive plate that’s totally you.
What to Expect
-
A relaxed 3-hour live Zoom cook-along on Thanksgiving morning — you cook in your kitchen, I cook in mine, and we meet online to share the experience.
-
A flexible, step-by-step menu that adapts to meat, seafood, or plant-based preferences.
-
Plenty of flavor-building tricks, cooking tips, and good conversation.
-
Connection with other solo cooks — because this holiday, no one cooks alone.
-
Shopping list, prep guide, and Zoom link delivered right to your inbox a few days before class so you’re fully ready to cook and celebrate.
No fancy skills required — just curiosity, an appetite, and a willingness to have some fun in the kitchen.
Come as you are.
Cook what you love.
And celebrate Thanksgiving in the most delicious way — together.
“What makes this so fun is that we’re all cooking the same meal — but no two plates will look exactly alike. That’s real-life cooking — creative, adaptable, and made with love.” - Kerstin
