As reported by Today, last week, Stewart said her original Thanksgiving plans came asunder due to a guest’s illness and subsequent cancellations. Combined with the massive number of turkeys the chef prepared for various TV shows leading up to Thanksgiving, Stewart decided to take the year off from hosting duties. However, she’s still hard at work, both in the kitchen and around the home.
Along with her cooking and baking duties, Stewart also encouraged her followers to share pictures from their own Thanksgiving festivities, which she plans to share on her website. Finally, the TV host and cookbook author expressed hope for the end of world conflicts and the desire that people receive a “respite” from the strife evident around the globe. And with that sentiment, Stewart perfectly encapsulates the real meaning of the holiday season, which centers around love and togetherness.
