Lattice-Top Strawberry Pie
Here is a classic American strawberry pie. The filling is super simple – just strawberries, sugar, a bit of flour and butter – and the crosshatched crust is spectacular. If the thought of weaving together a lattice-top makes you quiver, check out our pie guide for a how-to video, or use a round biscuit cutter to cut out circles and lay them on top, like Melissa Clark did on this sour cherry pie.

Pistachio, Rose and Strawberry Buns
Meant for breakfast or as an accompaniment to a mug of hot tea, these Danish-like yeast buns are filled with pistachio cream and strawberry jam, then soaked in a rose water-scented sugar syrup. Adapted from "Golden," a cookbook from Honey & Co. cafe in London, the buns sweet but not at all cloying, with the rose water and pistachio adding a heady perfume. Feel free to substitute apricot or raspberry preserves, or orange marmalade, for the strawberry jam. And if you’re not a fan of rose water, try orange blossom water or even brandy instead. These are best served within eight hours of baking, but leftovers can be refreshed the next day by heating them in a 300-degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until just warmed through.

Creme au Chocolat
To make this classic dish a little less rich, I substitute milk for the heavy cream that conventionally serves as its base, combining it with a dash of flour and a little egg to create a light pastry cream, to which I add enough chocolate to make a dark, intensely flavored dessert that can be served with or without cookies. It will keep in the refrigerator for a week or so. Be certain to cover it well with plastic wrap to keep it from absorbing other flavors in the refrigerator.

Pumpkin Mousse
This light and airy mousse is just the thing when you want the flavor, but not the heft, of pumpkin pie. We think it's an elegant end to a hearty autumn meal – Thanksgiving or otherwise.
