This Thanksgiving - Enjoy Juliana’s Pumpkin Pie Recipe!

As you prepare for your Thanksgiving feast, we have a recipe you’ll enjoy straight from the “RPO Cooks!” cookbook. RPO Concertmaster Juliana Athayde shared her recipes for a full Thanksgiving dinner – brined turkey with gravy, baked acorn squash, stuffing, spinach soufflé, and to top it all off, her mom’s bourbon pumpkin pie.

The cookbook includes more than 200 recipes from RPO musicians, conductors, guest artists, Rochester Philharmonic League members, and RPO staff. Click here for more information and to order “RPO Cooks!”
