Pampered Chef

When it comes to growing up, you’re not truly there until you’ve hosted your first Thanksgiving.

But since the bird is enough of a project without having to worry about all the rest, this year, give thanks for Manuel Latruwe’s Thanksgiving 2 Go.

The Belgian Patisserie and Bread Shop has crafted a large menu of “We Make-You Bake” hors d’oeuvres, quiches, breads and desserts.

If the turkey is taking a little longer than expected, keep serving the shrimp croquettes ($18.15) or a mushroom goat cheese quiche ($14 for large). Fill your guests up with turkey-shaped sourdough and if all else fails, wow them with the cappuccino cake, an almond-coffee cake soaked in amaretto syrup with chocolate crème brulee and cappuccino mousse ($7.50 to $67.50).

Gobble, gobble indeed!

The shop requires 48 hours notice on all orders. Manuel Latruwe, 1333 First St. SE, Calgary, 403-261-1092, www.manuellatruwe.com
