Butterball Slider Cocktail
This butterball cocktail has butterscotch schnapps in it and is delightful. This recipe is a must try!
Roasted Carrots
This dish is inspired by a roasted carrot antipasto served at the now Oliveto Cafe in Oakland, Calif. The oven-roasted carrots are tossed with lots of parsley and thyme, which offset the sweetness of the carrots. This recipe makes a soft and tender carrot in about 30 minutes in the oven, but if you like browned and caramelized edges, roast uncovered for all, or part, of the cooking time.
Cranberry Chutney
This no-cook, three-ingredient cranberry sauce from Daniel Humm, the chef of Eleven Madison Park and NoMad in New York, could not be simpler. Just toss cranberries, sugar and orange zest into the bowl of a mixer with a paddle attachment (a food processor won't work), flip it on the lowest setting and go about your business for an hour. When you return, you'll have a bright, chunky chutney that has more flavor and personality than the cooked sort.
Black Kale and Black Olive Salad
This sophisticated-looking number centers on the dark green version of kale known variously as black, Tuscan or lacinato kale. The leaves are cut into thin ribbons, but left raw, then combined with cut black olives and a dressing of olive oil and sherry vinegar. Shower some Parmesan over the top and you have a recipe that can hold its own on any table, at any time.
Pumpkin Seed Battered 'Chicken' With Cranberry Cabernet Sauce
This hearty entrée has it all: tantalizing cutlets battered in crunchy, seasoned breadcrumbs, all covered in a robust, rich sauce. This lovely centerpiece dish, created by VegNews contributing chef Tal Ronnen, has been known to leave meat-eating relatives begging for seconds.
Poached Pears in Red Wine
Jeff Potter enjoys the science of cooking, which is why he wrote, “Cooking for Geeks: Real Science, Great Hacks and Good Food.” For a combined dessert and science experiment, Mr. Potter suggests poaching pears, which causes changes in the structure of the fruit’s flesh, breaking down cell walls and affecting the bonds between neighboring cells to create a softer texture that’s infused with the flavor of the poaching liquid. While you can get away with poaching pears that are a little underripe, you can also encourage pears to ripen by storing them in a paper bag.
Roasted Vegetable Galette With Olives
The natural sugar in the vegetables caramelizes during roasting, giving this tart from Eating Well magazine an incredible sweet-savory flavor. Roasted garlic adds a mellow note and moistens the filling. This is a very adaptable recipe: experiment with different vegetables – eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini – and cheeses like fontina or Jarlsberg, just be sure to cut the vegetables uniformly (about 3/4-inch pieces).
Seitan Roulade With Oyster Mushroom Stuffing
This savory entrée by VegNews food columnist Robin Robertson is filled with flavorful stuffing and covered in a zesty marinade, making it a classic, meat-free main course. This homemade wheat meat comes together in less than 10 minutes and makes the perfect plant-based substitute in stews, stir-fries and sandwiches.
Thanksgiving Roasted Root Veggies
This simple recipe for roasted vegetables came to The Times from Dr. Andrew Weil, the popular alternative health physician. It's ridiculously easy, and so versatile. Choose a single vegetable or a combination of potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, beets or sweet potatoes. Cut, then toss with olive oil and paprika or chili powder. Roast until tender and brown. Twenty minutes before they're done, toss several garlic cloves into the pan. The garlic will infuse the surrounding vegetables with flavor, and you can spread the softened cloves on bread.
Parsnip Ecrasse
This easy mashed side dish from Daniel Humm, the chef of Eleven Madison Park and NoMad in New York, substitutes the delicately sweet parsnip for the traditional potato. "I think sometimes with the parsnip, people are maybe a little afraid and don't use it as often,'' Mr. Humm says. "That’s why we wanted to include this recipe and show how simple it is. And it's really flavorful.''
Chestnuts, Onions and Prunes (Marrons aux Oignons et Quetsches)
This recipe was brought to The Times by Joan Nathan and was featured in her cookbook "Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France." It's delicious on its own or as an accompaniment to meats, like roast chicken or pork.
Endive and Radicchio Salad With Caramelized Pear
This recipe came to The Times from Bruno Davaillon, the executive chef of the celebrated Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek restaurant in Dallas. It is an elegant twist on the ubiquitous blue cheese-pear salad combination. Grilling the radicchio removes the bitterness from the leafy green, helping it to better complement the pears and endive.
Maple-Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Toasted Hazelnuts
In this dead simple recipe from Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan chef and cookbook author, brussels sprouts are roasted at a high heat to bring out the natural sugars and caramelize the edges, then tossed with toasty hazelnuts and a glug of maple syrup.
Vegan Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms With Lentils
In this satisfying centerpiece dish from Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan chef and cookbook author, portobello mushroom caps are filled with savory lentil cashew stuffing, topped with a slice of tomato and fresh thyme leaves then baked until golden brown and bubbly. It is hearty fare that will surprise and delight everyone at your table.
Cassolita (Winter Squash With Caramelized Onions)
This recipe was brought to The Times by Joan Nathan and was featured in her cookbook "Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France." Here, caramelized onions, cinnamon, raisins and toasted almonds are tossed with mashed winter squash (butternut, calabaza or kabocha work well) for a sophisticated and lightly-sweet cold weather side dish.
Tall and Creamy Cheesecake
This is not really a New York cheesecake recipe — there’s no lemon (although there could be) — this is an all-American cheesecake of the big, beautiful, lush and creamy variety, the kind that causes gasps of delight when you bring it to the table and sighs of satisfaction when you and your guests savor bite after bite. The cake’s velvety texture is a result of a long turn in the mixer, and a cool-down process that requires patience, but not much effort. It’s also a cheesecake you can customize. You can make the cake milder or tangier by using all heavy cream or all sour cream, or a combination of the two. You can add fruits or nuts, swirls of chocolate or drops of extract.
Quinoa Oat Apple Crumble
Apple crumbles can be tricky, because the apples tend to dry out in the oven. The way to avoid this problem is to bake them until thoroughly softened before you finish them with the crumble.
Carrot Cake
This classic carrot cake recipe is not overly spiced, and it has texture from the grated carrots, shredded coconut, chopped nuts and raisins. If your dried fruit feels dry, plump it either by steaming the fruit for a couple of minutes; pouring boiling water over the fruit then draining it; or even just running it under hot tap water. Pat the fruit dry before using it. There’s enough frosting to fill the layers and cover the sides and top of the cake, but each layer is covered generously, so generously that when the next layer goes on the frosting ripples out around the edges. Then just swirl the frosting over the top, leaving the sides bare.
Pudim Brazilian Style Flan
A must in every Brazilian gathering, this Brazilian style flan dessert recipe is easy to make and delicious. It includes a condensed milk can, vanilla and eggs.
Door County Cherry Bounce
Typically made with Door County cherries, this simple recipe mellows for about three months or until the cherries "bounce." The liqueur adds a delicious spike.
Pureed Roasted Parsnips and Butternut Squash w/ Creme Fraiche
The winter squash and parsnips at our local markets have been so flavorful and juicy in the past few months. I've been using them a lot. I needed a strong tasting vegetable dish for testing a stock recipe a few weeks ago, so I naturally decided to use some parsnips I had on hand. I happened to have a butternut squash, too, so I put them together. The combination of spicy and sweet is heavenly, especially when the squash is richly caramelized. To take the edge off, while giving this brightly hued combination a luxurious feel, I stirred in some creme fraiche right before eating. A few grains of the nicest finishing salt I have was all it needed. Perfection in a bowl. Mmmmmmm. Enjoy!!
Devils on Hatchback
I get more requests for my Devils on Horseback than any other snack time party food that I make; and mine, I'm sure, are just like everyone elses: dates stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, baked til they are crispy as a critter. This is my variation on that classic bite. I use roasted Hatch Green Chiles ('round these parts, Hatch Chiles are gold) and cream cheese to accompany the bacon. The mild spiciness of the pepper is a lovely compliment to the saltiness of the bacon and the sweetness of the cheese (and the honey that I drizzle on towards the end). Cambozola (a German brie-style blue cheese) or any semi firm cheese that you like would be a lovely alternative, but I like to use cream cheese because it is a crowd pleaser. And just between you and me, I just watched a certain citrus-fruit sister eat twelve. And they came out of the oven four minutes ago. - Helenthenanny
Spicy Molten Blue Cheese Dip
Hot and savory and almost fondue-like, this blue cheese dip has a zippy flavor that works just as well with tortilla chips as it does with bell pepper strips, and keeps you coming back for more.
Mashed potatoes with reconstituted milk
Irish traditional/updated. The sourness of the buttermilk added to the fattiness of the butter combine to make these potatoes the perfect food. Buttermilk and potato, when enough is consumed to give sufficient calories for the day, is an almost perfectly balanced source of protein, explaining the Irish population explosion preceding the Great Famine. The butter would have been a luxury, when added to buttermilk you are basically reconstituting milk, but in a much more interesting form.
