Allioli
Allioli is the Spanish version of the French garlic sauce aioli — or is the other way around? A spoonful stirred into fideus noodles, paella or fish soup adds richness and a truly garlicky flourish. The purist version is made only with garlic and oil, but it’s rather tricky to achieve a proper emulsion that way, so most people use egg yolks and make it like a mayonnaise.

Five-spice powder

Quatre Epices

Plum-and-Grapefruit Salsa

Classic Cranberry Sauce
Nothing beats the puckery-sweet jolt of cranberry sauce. It's a sharp knife that cuts through all the starchy food on the menu. This recipe is for the traditionalists.

Spiced Orange Ginger-Soy Dipping Sauce

Pear And Cranberry Chutney

Chicken Liver Mousse

Chicken Congee With Turmeric and Cumin
This dish, which was created for the 2019 NYT Food Festival by Tyler Heckman, the executive chef at Ferris restaurant in New York, combines his interest in Cantonese cooking with his affinity for the flavors of New York City street food — specifically, the chicken and rice plates sold from halal carts. Congee is a rice porridge popular in China and among other Asian cuisines, and this version is heavily spiced with cumin and turmeric, which lend a golden hue and an earthy flavor. If you haven’t made congee before, you might balk at the high ratio of water to rice, but give it time, and the rice will break down until creamy. Spiced chicken, tangy yogurt and a punchy blender hot sauce add texture, richness and brightness to the dish.

Moroccan Almond-Argan Butter
Serve this butter with Berber skillet bread.

Foolproof Lemon-Garlic Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise started out in life as a salad dressing, but the modern supermarket version isn’t something you’d want to serve on its own -- or use to highlight the vegetables of the season. This soft, lemony version makes irresistible dribbles and pools on top of a composed salad, or can be spooned onto the side of the plate and used for dipping. The hot water keeps the mayonnaise smooth and fluffy. For an even lighter texture, use grapeseed oil instead of olive oil.

Pumpkin Seed Coulis

Cranberry-Pistachio Chutney With Figs

Roasted Pepper Sauce
The flavor in this sauce is deepened by peppers, which are first grilled or roasted, then cooked in olive oil with onion, garlic and chili flakes.

Moroccan Jewish Tanzeya
This spiced chutney made with dried fruit like prunes, apricots, figs and raisins comes from Leetal and Ron Arazi, owners of New York Shuk, a food company specializing in Sephardic and Middle Eastern Jewish cuisines. It's delicious served with chicken, beef or lamb, like the Arazis' lamb shanks with caramelized onions.

Pili Pili (Spicy Herb Oil)
This spicy oil with an African name is popular throughout Provence. It’s usually on the table in pizzerias for drizzling, but it’s also terrific drizzled over vegetables, grilled meats or fish, grains and bread – whatever you want to add a kick to. In France it is made with very hot bird chilies. You could use fresh Thai chilies for this, but I’m using dried chiles de arbol, because that’s what I have on hand and it makes an oil that will last for months.
