Pamela Salzman’s Vegetarian Take on a Truly Memorable Thanksgiving
November 1, 2023
The theme, as always, is gratitude. The execution? Inspired and practically effortless. For an upgraded take on the classically indulgent Thanksgiving dinner, Jenni enlisted chef, holistic nutritionist, and close personal friend Pamela Salzman. And now that they’ve perfected every detail, they’re sharing with all of us. Read on and be sure to bookmark for future seasonal reference.
The Table
In California, we’re uniquely fortunate with almost perpetual mild weather, which means al fresco dining virtually never ends—but regardless of your locale, a nature-infused table is always a yes; as are pared-back settings that let the season’s bounty speak for itself. This holiday season, Jenni’s opting for classic Pacific Dinnerware, vintage bistro-inspired cutlery, timeless linens, and simple harvest sprigs.

The Trimmings
As for the Thanksgiving tablescape? Perfectly autumnal. From the centerpiece—an inspired mix of fresh and dried foliage soured and styled by Gemma Blooms—to the appetizers and dessert (all eyes will be on this unforgettable Apple Cider Pumpkin Bundt Cake), every element lends an air of festivity without overpowering the scene. Not to mention—it’s all easily prepped beforehand, making trimming the table effortless as can be. For an essential holiday touch, don your favorite cozy knit while you put everything in its place.
The Spread
In a welcome departure from traditional holiday fare, Pamela’s vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner menu focuses on all things fresh and seasonal without sacrificing any of the indulgence. Her Butternut Squash “Steaks” have all your savory cravings covered, and her go-to seasonal salad is complete with a homemade Blue Cheese Hazelnut Dressing. Rest assured your guests are guaranteed to go in for seconds.
