Prime Rib Roast
This is a standard take on a beef rib roast, which is to say it is how my father made the dish when I was younger, and how I have mostly made it since. The clear, rich fat that runs into the pan below the meat is the perfect vehicle for Yorkshire pudding.
Roast Turkey
After a successful Thanksgiving meal, guests invariably wonder why we don’t roast turkeys more often. The following months give ample opportunity to do just that. Here is a herb-roasted holiday bird stuffed with citrus and onion to provide a little zing against the fat.
Brittle made with Jaggery!
Brittle recipes can be made with your favorite nuts or seeds– Peanuts, almonds, cashews, sesame seeds or even flax seeds. Jaggery is an unrefined form of sugar.
Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bark
This is an easy to make Raspberry Bark recipe that is very suitable to be made in bulk and be wrapped up as edible gift. It's also perfect to make with kids!
Eggnog
This recipe is for a single glass of eggnog, but feel free to batch it up for a party, though you might want to invest in an immersion blender to give your shaking arm a rest.
Deliciously Simple Shrimp Pate
This is my go-to recipe for the holidays: shrimp pate. It's super easy to make. Not terribly expensive. Easy to transport. And my guests always love it.
Fois Gras Triangle Appetizers
This recipe was a creation and a spin off of the Indian samosa. Living in France, samosas are a common appetizer or starter for a meal. I felt I could create something special for the holidays that was elegant and original.
Cheese Sables with Rosemary Salt
Can there be anything more fantastically savoury and moreish to have with a cocktail than a little cheese biscuit? That tang and crunch just go perfectly. These are crisp and with a good bite from strong cheese and a kick from the cayenne. Make a load of these to stash away in your freezer, ready to whip out when entertaining over Christmas. As you can see from my photograph, I served these with a Negroni but naturally the choice of drink is up to you. Or serve them anytime you would like a snack -- my children love them!
Beet Relish
This was a staple condiment growing up. When my grandmother was 99 years old I called her from British Columbia and asked her for the recipe. It was a little of this a lot of that but I got it nailed. Goes great with turkey, beef, pork and freezes well in plastic bags. Great way to use up large beets in the late fall.
Toasted Rosemary Pecans
In South Georgia, pecans are a staple to many dishes, but they are delicious simply toasted and topped with your favorite herb or seasoning. My friend Katie, who has also relocated from the south, still offers these warm delights whenever she gets the chance. It is so funny how good these simple toasted nuts can be!
Spiced Cherries in Bacon
This might sound like the craziest recipe in the world and you may well raise your eyebrows at me but seriously give them a go. They are sweet, savoury, tangy, salty juicy little bundles of deliciousness and so good with a cold glass of something and on that note if I could steer you towards my Sloe Vespa, the Christmas cocktail then all the better.
Pumpkin Soup Served in a Pumpkin (Potage au Potiron)
There was a little farm near where we lived, in Alsace, in a small town by the name of Thann, where we got our pumpkins. My mother would make soup just this way; she served it in the pumpkin, too. We kids looked forward to it every year. Along the way I’ve improved it a little bit. I added the croutons, which I sauté in butter and salt. She didn’t do that. I love soup, and this soup in particular. We usually have Thanksgiving up in the Catskills, at our friends’ house. I always say I’m not cooking, and I end up cooking. This is what I make.
April Bloomfield's Clam Chowder
Fish chowder is the type of dish you might find in England at a country pub or in a fishing village. But the addition of Quahog clams and intensely flavorful Long Island sweet corn makes this particular chowder unmistakably American, and, with its hearty vegetables, bacon, potatoes and cream, a great dish for the Thanksgiving table. I usually like to start cooking early on Thanksgiving and potter around the kitchen, enjoying the warm steamy kitchen and the smells of chowder and pumpkins roasting. It reminds me of what I give thanks for every year: the warmth and comfort of family and friends, who gather around the pot with their bowls.
Simple Homemade Tomato Soup
I used Barefoot Contessa's Easy Tomato Soup recipe as my baseline, but adjusted it to make it less rich/oily.
Tangy Old English Cheese Spread Appetizer
This cheese spread can be served at brunch with bagels or at a party with soft pretzel rolls. This recipe calls for old english cheese and I love it!

Wintry Braised Red Cabbage, Plus Some Jelly
Oven Braised Red Cabbage is a classic recipe, with the edges slightly crisp and charred, which plays beautifully off the rest of the tender long-cooked cabbage.
Herbed Butternut Squash Chips
Oven Dried Cranberry and Orange Peel Salt
This Oven Dried Cranberry and Orange Peel Salt recipe is a fun way to use up a handful of leftover berries and serves as a unique edible gift. Try it!
Butter-and-Goat Cheese Potato Purée
This recipe is a happy amalgamation of Sonali aka the Foodie Physician's Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Goat Cheese and Joël Robuchon’s famous Potato Purée. I suggest using the best quality butter, goat cheese, and milk you can find, because let's face it -- this is sort of a dairy recipe with some potatoes in it, rather than the other way around. It really is thoroughly delicious.
Sugar Crusted Sweet Potatoes
My mom makes these sugar-crusted sweet potatoes every year for Thanksgiving. She makes sure to make more than enough for everyone to have a couple servings that night and a couple servings for leftovers the day after. They're sugary sweet on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside.
Olive Oil Steam Fried Fingerlings Wrapped in Prosciutto
A little treat you cannot stop eating. Trust me.
