Bread Pudding Topped with Figs and Caramel Sauce (Nicholas Dynan)

This week and weekend (left-overs!) is all about the celebration of food and traditions, of coming-togetherness and how to strut your stuff in the kitchen.

Chef Barbara Lynch visited with Rachel Gotbaum of WBUR’s “Here & Now” to share “mom-inspired” recipes for Thanksgiving Day, including bread pudding with figs, above, and instructions on how to truss a turkey.
