Love Lives in Your Kitchen. Happy Thanksgiving.

At Engel & Völkers we reflect on the many reasons we have to be thankful. Beyond the breathtaking properties and living spaces that we have the opportunity to experience every day, we recognize that the true heart of any home lies in its kitchen. It’s the place where families gather, memories are made, and the love language of cooking thrives. This Thanksgiving, we want to express our gratitude for the heart of the home and share the joy of the season with you.

At the Heart of Every Home

A well-designed kitchen is not just a space for cooking. It’s where the warmth of good company meets hungry bellies, creating an atmosphere of comfort and joy.

This Thanksgiving, we want to extend our thanks to everyone who has been a part of the Engel & Völkers family. Your trust and support have allowed us to continue providing exceptional living spaces that truly embody the heart of the home.

Recipes for Thanksgiving Delight

To share our appreciation, our network has curated a collection of recipes that capture the essence of the holiday season. From an exquisite appetizer to a delectable dessert, each dish is crafted to enhance the sense of togetherness at your Thanksgiving gathering.

Appetizer: Roasted Acorn Squash

Kick off your luxurious Thanksgiving feast with the Roasted Acorn Squash by Engel & Völkers Newport Beach advisor, Elena Zimina, an ode to the bountiful flavors of fall. This golden delight is a standout addition to any fall dinner, as it acts as a simple, yet flavor-filled addition to your appetizer spread. 

Main Course: Chicken Paprikash & Nokedli 

For the main attraction, we will be diving into the culinary traditions of Hungary Becky Hardy’s Chicken Paprikash & Nokedli. Becky, an advisor at Engel & Völkers Amelia Island, attributes this special recipe to her childhood, bringing back memories of her mother and grandmother cooking for her large family. With each forkful, you’re savoring not just a meal but a tribute to generations past.

Side Dish: PaPa’s Southern Turkey Dressing

Adding a touch of southern charm and generations of culinary wisdom to our Thanksgiving table is  PaPa’s Southern Turkey Dressing, a cherished recipe from Engel & Völkers Fort Worth advisor Sheri Mosier. Imparting a taste of heritage and love, this recipe is a timeless centerpiece that embodies the essence of Thanksgiving for the Mosier family and beyond. 

Dessert: Vanilla Cream Pie

Concluding our Thanksgiving soirée with a little something sweet, indulge in a Vanilla Cream Pie. A family favorite of graphic designer Jessica Vandorn, this classic recipe is guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth. Crafted with a velvety smooth vanilla custard nestled in a delicious graham cracker crust, this recipe is a sweet touch to end a sweet night. 

As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, let us remember the significance of the kitchen in not only our upbringings, but throughout our lives. Engel & Völkers is grateful to be a part of your journey, and we wish you and your loved ones a holiday season filled with warmth, joy, and the pleasures of exceptional living.

From our home to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
