It may not even be Halloween, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start thinking about your Thanksgiving turkey. If you've never been able to get that holiday bird cooked to your liking, you might want to hear what Jeff Mauro has to say. The Powerhouse executive chef is offering a class on Saturday, November 8, to teach home cooks how to roast a turkey perfectly as well as how to prepare spoonbread, braised red cabbage, his grandmother's pierogies and seasonal desserts. May your turkey never be too dry again (11 AM; $40 per person; call 312-928-0800 to reserve a space).
