Aug 16 2012

Foodies craving festive flair throughout this season of thanks have good reason to be grateful. Friends and family come to life in the presence of succulent, aromatic dishes and classic, warm décor. Set the standards for high style with Pommery-crusted prime rib and ancho-roasted carrots complemented by floral scores of yellows, burnt oranges and burgundies.

Ingredients
8 lbs prime rib

Horseradish Marinade
125 ml prepared horseradish
