Wild Rice 'Risotto' With Winter Squash

Blender Gazpacho With Celery, Carrot, Cucumber and Red Pepper
In a classic gazpacho all of these vegetables except the tomatoes are cut into fine dice and served as accompaniments to the puréed tomato base. In this version, I blend everything together into what is essentially a tangy, pungent vegetable smoothie. You can serve this in glasses or in bowls. I like the tarragon garnish.

Balsamic Roasted Winter Squash and Wild Rice Salad
Squash absorbs the rich, acidic flavor of balsamic vinegar in the most inviting way; the idea of tossing it with the vinegar before roasting comes from Heidi Swanson.

Layer this ingenious creation with lightly whipped cream if you like – or not.

Zucchini Cakes
These savory patties, from Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough's book "Real Food Has Curves: How to Get Off Processed Food, Lose Weight and Love What You Eat," are delicious on their own or with a little mustard slathered on the side. They are also a great leftover, re-crisped in the oven and served for breakfast or in pita pockets for lunch.

Coiled Greek Winter Squash Pie
This is a beautiful way to present a Greek phyllo-wrapped vegetable pie. The filling is wrapped in phyllo cylinders, which are arranged in a coil in a pan, then baked until crisp. It takes longer to assemble than a regular pie, but it’s worth the time for Thanksgiving. For a vegan version, you can omit the egg and the feta
