Suvir Saran’s Mushroom and Farro Burger
When I was introduced to these burgers, a creation of the chef Suvir Saran, I was struck by the brilliant idea of using sweet potatoes as a binder. I’ve struggled to find ways to hold my burgers together, and this solution was perfect. Try to find light-fleshed sweet potatoes; they are drier, and a little less sweet than orange yams. I also love all the textures in these hearty patties. I have made some changes to Suvir’s recipe, roasting the potatoes rather than boiling them, and I use less oil.
Sweet Potato, Quinoa, Spinach and Red Lentil Burger
You can use blond or black quinoa for these delicate burgers. Black will look striking against the sweet potato’s orange when you cut into the burgers. The red lentils pale to yellow when you cook them; they contribute texture and flavor. The burgers have a decidedly Mediterranean flavor, with feta and mint included in the mix. But I still like to serve them with raita or chutney; a more Mediterranean condiment would be yogurt seasoned with puréed garlic and mint.
Grilled Eggplant and Tomatoes With Chermoula
Chermoula, the pungent Moroccan herb sauce that is traditionally used as a marinade for fish, is also great with grilled vegetables, like the last of the summer’s eggplant and tomatoes. You can use an outdoor or an indoor grill for these.
Lasagna With Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots
A crowd-pleasing dish with endless varieties. If you are ever in doubt about what sort of casserole to make ahead for a crowd, make lasagna. There are so many versions that will please children and grown-ups, lacto-vegetarians and meat eaters. I like to tuck roasted vegetables into the layers of pasta, marinara sauce, Parmesan and ricotta. In this rendition I used brussels sprouts and carrots; the sprouts are slightly bitter and the carrots sweet. I sliced the brussels sprouts about the same width as the carrots and roasted the two together. Before you begin to assemble your lasagna it helps to be organized about the quantities of each element that you will need for the layers. It is very frustrating to get to the last layer of your casserole and not have enough sauce for the top.
Portobello Mushroom Cheeseburgers
Large portobello mushrooms are perfect burger material, just the right size for a meaty and satisfying meal. I like them best with Gruyère cheese on top.
Lasagna With Spinach and Wild Mushrooms
Mushrooms enrich this classic spinach lasagna, a family favorite and a great do ahead dish. I like juicy wild mushrooms like maitakes or oyster mushrooms for this. I also prefer bunch spinach to the baby variety, because baby spinach can be a bit stringy when you cook it (however you will be chopping it and blending it into the ricotta here so perhaps that isn’t such an issue). Before you begin to assemble your lasagna it helps to be organized about the quantities of each element that you will need for the layers. It is very frustrating to get to the last layer of your casserole and not have enough sauce for the top.
Vegan Pumpkin Tiramisu
These pretty little pumpkin parfaits are the work of Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan cookbook author. Pumpkin custard and vanilla cake crumbles are soaked in espresso and amaretto, then layered in individual cups (as seen above) or in one large trifle dish. In a rush? Use vegan cake mix like some of our readers do.
Pizza on the Grill
Pizzas made on the grill are really more like topped flatbreads. They get plenty of direct heat, so the surfaces brown nicely, but not enough ambient heat, even with the lid closed, for a crumb to develop on the rim of the pizza. Stretch out or roll the dough very thin, with no raised edge, so that the pizzas won’t have a doughy texture. It’s much easier to work with smaller pies, and it’s important that you don’t weigh down your pizzas with ingredients, especially marinara sauce, or they’ll be difficult to get on and off the grill and they’ll be soggy. A thin layer of marinara — 1/4 cup — will be plenty for a 10-inch disk.
Lasagna With Roasted Kabocha Squash and Béchamel
This rich-tasting lasagna is inspired by my favorite northern Italian pumpkin-filled ravioli. It would make a terrific vegetarian item on a Thanksgiving buffet. Making the lasagna is not time-consuming if you use no-boil lasagna noodles. Be sure to season the squash well as you assemble this
Lentil, Celery and Tomato Minestrone
Minestrone might be a familiar soup, but here it takes on a new flavor: celery. The celery, which may be lingering in the fridge having played a minor part in another recipe, adds a dimension of flavor to the mix that ordinary minestrone just doesn’t have. Celery has long been used in Chinese medicine to help control high blood pressure. It is also an excellent source of Vitamins K and C, and a very good source of potassium, folate, dietary fiber, molybdenum, manganese, and Vitamin B6.
Grilled Watermelon and Feta Salad
I love watermelon and feta salad, whether the watermelon is grilled or not. The sweet, juicy watermelon against the salty, creamy feta and pungent onions is a winning combination. This version introduces heat — if you serve it right after grilling the melon (it isn’t a must) — and char. Throw the watermelon slices, with the rind, onto the grill after or before you’ve grilled your meat or fish or vegetables. Grill them on both sides until just charred, then cut away the rinds and dice up the melon for the salad.
Mushroom Burgers With Almonds and Spinach
These delicious vegetarian patties have a great texture because of the almonds and bulgur. Like other vegetarian patties, they can be a little tricky to turn when you brown them. If they break apart, just patch them together.
Allergen-Free Warm Apple-Apricot Cake
Divvies Bakery in South Salem, N.Y., is famous for its peanut-free, tree nut-free, milk-free and egg-free products. The bakery, founded by Lori Sandler, whose son Benjamin was diagnosed with severe food allergies, sells its allergen-free baked goods online and through retailers, and many of its recipes can be found in “The Divvies Bakery Cookbook: No Nuts. No Eggs. No Dairy. Just Delicious!” This bundt cake is one of Ms. Sandler’s favorites. For a super-moist cake, add 4 cups of apples and 1 cup of apricot fruit spread. Serve this cake warm out of the oven for brunch, or it’s delicious served at room temperature too.
Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake
This vegan “cheesecake,” which is adapted from “Vegan Pie in the Sky” by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, may not fool everyone at the table, but it will definitely satisfy them. Silken tofu, cashews and banana make it extra creamy, while lemon juice and orange zest provide the tang you’d normally get from cream cheese. (Be sure to soak the cashews long enough; you want them to completely disappear into the batter upon blending.) This dessert can be made in a pie dish or a springform pan, but if you make it in a pie dish, keep an eye on the crust as it bakes; tent the cheesecake with foil if the edges are getting too brown.
Chocolate-Pumpkin Bread Pudding
This warm pumpkin bread pudding from Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan chef and cookbook author, is generously-spiced and studded with semisweet chocolate chips. It’s a rich and creamy dessert that’s free of dairy and eggs but will leave everyone feeling as if they have indulged.
Mollie Katzen-Inspired Potato and Broccoli Burgers
The famed vegetarian cookbook author Mollie Katzen has a whole chapter devoted to burgers and savory pancakes in her beautiful cookbook “The Heart of the Plate.” Before I’d looked carefully at the chapter I’d bought a bunch of broccoli with the idea that specks of broccoli would be beautiful in a burger. Mollie, with her delicious Walnut-Coated Broccoli-Speckled Mashed Potato Cakes, was way ahead of me on that idea. I loved her idea of coating the burgers with ground walnuts and barely cooking the finely chopped broccoli before incorporating it into the mix. I’ve made a variation on Mollie’s burgers, using red potatoes, cumin and garam masala.
Potato and Pea Patties With Indian Spices
The whole spices in this burger, adapted from the chef Suvir Saran, contribute not only amazing flavors, but texture as well. It's nice to use a combination of light-fleshed sweet potatoes, which go well with the spices, and starchy red boiling potatoes, which help hold the burger mixture together.
Old-Fashioned Chocolate Pudding Pie
This is your grandma’s puddin’ pie, only it’s vegan — a smooth, cool and creamy pudding in a classic graham cracker shell. To make life even easier, you can use a store-bought crust. For added grandma love, serve with vegan whipped cream and shaved chocolate. (This recipe is an adaptation of one found in “Vegan Pie in the Sky: 75 Out-of-This-World Recipes for Pies, Tarts, Cobblers and More” by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero.)
Lasagna With Tomato Sauce and Roasted Eggplant
This is a great do-ahead dish. I made two of them for a dinner party during a very busy week; I roasted the eggplant one day, made the sauce another, assembled the lasagnas quickly on the morning of my dinner party and refrigerated them until I got home about an hour before my guests were due to arrive.
Carrot and Avocado Salad With Crunchy Seeds
This is easily one of my favorite fall salads. The creaminess of avocado and sour cream is amazing with the spiced zing of the carrots and the toasted, nutty seeds.
Puréed Roasted Squash and Yams With Citrus
This aromatic dish is inspired by a recipe in Lynne Rossetto Kasper’s wonderful book “The Splendid Table.” The dish was traditional at Yom Kippur among the Italian Jews of Emilia-Romagna. Ms. Kasper says that in Italy the dish is often served with poached turkey, which says to me that it’s perfect for Thanksgiving.
Vegan Appleberry Pie
It may sound like a mystery fruit, but appleberry is the best of fruit pie worlds: the substantial, hearty texture of apples fused with fresh or frozen sweet, tart berries.
Rice Bowl With Oven-Baked Miso Tofu
I use the same marinade for the peppers as I do for the tofu in this sweet and spicy mix of toppings. Kimchi is the main vegetable, but if you only want it as a condiment add another vegetable of your choice – steamed or blanched broccoli or greens, for example, or roasted squash, or anything else that floats your boat.
Winter Tomato Soup With Bulgur
Inspired by a recipe in Diane Kochilas’s wonderful new book “The Country Cooking of Greece,” this thick, satisfying soup is based on a summer soup made with fresh tomatoes. It looked so comforting that I decided to use canned tomatoes and make a winter version. The onion not only contributes flavor but also texture to this thick potage.
