If you're bored or just plain uninspired this Thanksgiving, why not go international?

"Instead of Turkey, I would try Peking style duck," Cooking Channel star Ching-He Huang wrote to tell us.  Ching was born in Taiwan and is the Cooking Channel's newest expert on Chinese cuisine, she also has a new cookbook out titled "Ching's Everyday Easy Chinese."

The star lot of Christie's upcoming Fine and Rare Wines sale is 100 years old and comes with a private dinner by one of the America's top chefs.

A collector's case of six 750ml bottles of the legendary Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage 1911 will hit the auction block Saturday.  The lot is estimated to fetch $30,000 to $50,000 and all proceeds will go to The Lunchbox Fund, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of impoverished and at-risk students in South African township high schools.

Truffles, for Thanksgiving?  Author Patricia Wells thinks they could be a delicious addition to your Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Wells just released "Simply Truffles," a cook book dedicated to the sinfully expensive ingredient.  A former New York Times reporter, she is the only foreigner and only woman to serve as restaurant critic for a major French publication.

The Japanese were the first to try this year's much-anticipated Beaujolais Nouveau-- Japan is the wine's biggest importer and gets the first taste each year due to its time zone.

But it is the French who pay the most attention to this unique wine-- they make up more than 50 percent of its overall sales.  Critics who've already sampled this year's release say they've found its aroma "surprising."  Paris wine merchant Thierry Plenyet told the Associated Press, "There is a lovely aroma of black fruit. This is what characterizes it. Quite pure. And as for the taste, it's doesn't taste of wood, it retains a lot of freshness."
