Pumpkin Cornbread
Delicious on its own or as the base for a stuffing, this rich, moist cornbread is inspired by a Basque recipe that's been altered to resemble American cornbread. The pumpkin flavor is very subtle, and honey provides a hint of sweetness.

Easy-as-Pie Apple Cake
The name of this cake is somewhat deceiving, since most apple cakes are easier than pie (which is actually never that easy if you’re making it from scratch). In any case, it’s a simple, excellent cake with a tender crumb, subtle spicing and soft pockets of fruit. Serve it plain, or with a dollop of ice cream, whipped cream or crème fraîche.

Hearty Duck And Wild Rice Soup

Oven-Poached Pears With Red Wine

Wild Rice With Sausage

Chocolate and Pistachio Whirligig Buns
This recipe was brought to The Times in 2003 by Nigella Lawson, the British cookbook author and culinary celebrity, as part of an article encouraging readers to bake with yeast – an act all too often unnecessarily fraught with anxiety. The payoff for tackling one's fear, she argued, is big. Enter these pillowy, butter-rich buns dotted with semisweet chocolate and pistachios. They are not difficult – if you can follow directions, you can make them (really!) – and they are insanely delicious. You can also fill them with marmalade, or with honey and chopped walnuts.

Cooked Wild Rice
Just a few years after the chef Larry Forgione opened his restaurant, An American Place, Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey asked him about his Thanksgiving table. Amid the duck and turkey, the oysters and persimmon pudding was “that most domestic of all cereals,” wild rice, in a hearty soup. Easy enough for a weeknight, this simple recipe doesn’t have to be relegated to the annual feast. Pair it with roast chicken or broiled fish, or top it with cooked Italian sausage and mushrooms to make it a meal of its own.

Chestnut and Wild Rice Bisque

Buttered Wild Rice

Sweet Potato and Apple Kugel
I’ve looked at a number of sweet potato kugel recipes, and experimented with this one a few times until I was satisfied with it. The trick is to bake the kugel long enough so that the sweet potato softens properly without the top drying out and browning too much. I cover the kugel during the first 45 minutes of baking to prevent this. After you uncover it, it’s important to baste the top every 5 to 10 minutes with melted butter.

Wild Rice 'Risotto' With Winter Squash

Wild Rice And Oyster Dressing

Baked Acorn Squash Stuffed With Wild Rice and Kale Risotto
The filling here is a Greco-Italian fusion, with a little American (wild rice) thrown in. I’m usually not a fusion sort of cook, but I wanted something creamy like risotto to fill these squash. Look for small acorn squash so that each person can have one. They’ll be like miniature vegetarian (or vegan) turkeys

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. Put this delicious autumn salad in your Thanksgiving file. Make sure to cook the wild rice until it begins to splay or you won’t get the full nutty flavor of the grains
