Stewed Chestnuts With Ricotta

Here, olive oil replaces butter for a healthier twist on classic mashed potatoes. Sautéed garlic and rosemary add flavor. Don't forget to season generously with salt and pepper.
Roasted Squash With Cornbread, Sage and Chestnut Stuffing
Gratin of Pumpkin And Potatoes
Butternut Squash and Mushroom Wellington
Butternut squash coated in maple syrup, and soft, earthy mushrooms are sautéed then wrapped in a crisp, flaky puff pastry in this recipe. It's softly sweet and bursting with autumnal flavors, with goat cheese providing some soft, tangy creaminess. Try it on a chilly night, paired with a glass of white wine.
Sweet Potato, Pumpkin and Apple Puree
This mixture of sweet potatoes, savory pumpkin and tart apples is a variation on my sweet potato puree with apples. For the best flavor, I suggest you make it a day ahead.
Roast Pheasant Stuffed With Chestnut Bread Dressing
Braised Onions and Chestnuts
Orange Sorbet With Blood Orange Salad
This refreshing dessert - the only one this week that doesn’t involve cooking fruit -- is like a pick-me-up after a rich dinner. Oranges are not only a great source of vitamin C; they’re packed with other phytochemicals called limonoids that are being studied for their anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting and cholesterol-lowering properties. If you can find blood oranges, you’ll get the added benefits of the anthocyanins in the red pigment.
Cranberry Walnut Crunch
Frozen Maple Mousse Pie With Chocolate-Maple Sauce
This refreshingly cold maple mousse benefits from a comfortable staple, ground dark chocolate cookie crumbs, for its crust. The bitter chocolate in the crust and in the sauce gives a stunning edge to the mellow frozen maple cream.
Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts With Shallots and Sherry
This recipe came to The Times in 2011 from Grace Young, the chef and cookbook writer. Make sure the Brussels sprouts are dry before they are put into the pan, or the liquid will turn the stir-fry into a braise. This dish can be made ahead of time, all the better for a Thanksgiving feast or a weeknight dinner.
Jean Halberstam's Deep-Fried Peaches
Jean Halberstam, who was married to the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Halberstam until his death in 2007, is a well-known, accomplished cook. To make this dessert for a 2005 dinner party at their home on Nantucket, she plunged skinless peach halves into a batter, then sizzled them in a bath of boiling Crisco — yes, Crisco; “Nothing else makes them as crisp,” she said — until lightly browned, and rolled them in sugar. Her dinner guests could not believe how good these were.
Mr. October
The Mr. October was created as a fall cocktail, using Laird’s bonded apple brandy as a base. Cinnamon syrup, lemon juice, Galliano liqueur, a couple of dashes of allspice liqueur and freshly ground nutmeg add to the seasonality. This cocktail tastes not only like apple pie, but apple pie à la mode, thanks to Galliano’s vanilla notes.
Rutabaga Soup With Bacon and Sage
This velvety rutabaga soup is the creation of Guillaume Delaune, the chef at Kingsbrae Arms in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. Enriched with maple syrup and garnished with bacon, it makes a lovely first course or appetizer.
Cranberry Meringue Pie
Fried Green Tomato, Crab and Ham Sandwich
Sweet Potato and Kale Salad With Roquefort
This is a great salad to make with leftover roasted sweet potatoes but you can also roast them just to make the salad. The trick to succeeding with crispy kale is to make sure it is completely dry before you put it in the oven. If you are using bunched kale I recommend that you stem and wash it, spin it twice in a salad spinner, then set the leaves in single layers on a few layers of paper towels and roll them up. You can then refrigerate for up to a day or two. Once the salad is assembled, the portion of kale that you toss with the sweet potatoes will soften, and the kale that surrounds the sweet potatoes will remain crispy.
Cranberries and Port Wine
Pepper-and-Sausage Cornbread Dressing
This dressing combines corn bread, turkey broth, three kinds of pepper and a healthy scattering of fiery sausage for a Thanksgiving dish that is crunchy on top, moist within and alive with flavor. The copious use of that turkey broth, or a good chicken broth, is crucial here; also necessary is an understanding that the cooking should last long enough to crisp the exterior without burning it, while not going on so long as to dry out the dish. When in doubt, add a splash more broth. And know that this dish works well for any gluten-avoiders at your table; the related cornbread recipe does not use wheat flour.
