Corn with Aromatic Seasonings
This is an easy, perfumed, stir-fried dish that can be made with fresh or frozen corn from Madhur Jaffrey, the renowned Indian cookbook author. Corn and heavy cream are infused with a jumble of whole Indian spices like mustard seeds, cardamom pods, cloves and cinnamon stick, as well as fresh ginger and green chiles.

David Firestone's Latkes
Back in 1992 the food writer Molly O’Neill playfully named David Firestone “the Latke King” in her “New York Cookbook,” and included a recipe he had modified from his mother’s and grandmother’s. Mr. Firestone, who was for many years an editor at The Times, now uses a food processor to make big batches, sometimes just for the family, sometimes for 60 friends or more. As for the olive oil, it may be the liquid symbol of Hanukkah, but in his house it’s imported from Italy.

Turkey Braised With Cranberries
Those who believe the best part of the Thanksgiving turkey is the day-after sandwiches with leftover cranberry sauce will welcome this recipe. It teams the relatively unappreciated drumsticks with the rarely used fresh cranberries to produce a dish of uncommon complexity.
Maple Pear Upside-Down Cake
Rice Pilaf With Pistachios and Almonds
This dish is inspired by a number of Persian rice pilafs, but it’s simpler, and calls for much less butter than an authentic Persian pilaf. There are sweet and tart flavors at play here, especially if you use barberries, but apricots also have a tart edge to them. Rose water makes the pilaf wonderfully fragrant.
Sweet Potatoes With Mustard Sauce
Perfumed with fresh thyme sprigs and served with a piquant mustard-sour cream dressing, these baked sweet potatoes hit all the right notes – sweet and velvet fleshed, pleasantly tangy, and herbal. You can stir the sauce together several hours or even the day before, and leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Other herbs – rosemary, tarragon, sage – can fill in for thyme. (To make this recipe vegan, try substituting coconut yogurt or 1/4 cup olive oil for the sour cream.)
Garden Vegetable Gratin
A layered potato casserole, a gratin is a French dish named for both the technique and the dish it’s baked in: a fairly shallow, oval, oven-safe baking dish. Nonetheless, you can make it in a standard 9-by-13-inch baking dish, more in keeping with standard American cookware. Here's a vegetable-rich version, from cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, made with potatoes, carrots, zucchini and peas.
Bacon Toffee
This is the toffee for Claudia Fleming's apple crostata, inspired by her mother's specialty, an apple turnover. When Ms. Fleming made this sauce with Mark Bittman, he told her it was gorgeous. "Brown sugar is magical,” was her reply.
Toasted Corn Salsa
Resist the urge to substitute frozen corn for fresh in this delightfully crunchy salsa recipe from “America’s Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook.” Be sure to use a nonstick skillet when toasting the corn, and for a spicier version, add the jalapeño seeds. You can make this ahead and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Just season with additional lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste before serving.
St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake
Legend has it that the St. Louis gooey butter cake originated by accident in the 1930s, when a baker mixed up the proportion of butter in one of his coffee cakes. Rather than throw it out, he sold it by the square, and the sugary, sticky confection was a hit. Naturally, a slice of gooey cake ends up next to — or in place of — the pumpkin pie at many a Missourian’s Thanksgiving table. Some bakers like to add pumpkin and spices to the gooey filling. Not so in this yeast-risen version from Molly Killeen, the St. Louis native behind Made by Molly, a dessert company in Brooklyn. Her recipe is soft-centered, crisp-edged and not too sweet. The leftovers are excellent for breakfast the next morning.
Cranberry Nut Bread
Cranberries freeze admirably, just as you purchase them in plastic bags. With several extra bags of the bright scarlet berries obtained now when they are available and tucked into the freezer you will have the raw materials for a change of pace condiment to serve with roasted poultry or meats at other times of the year, or for quick breads or pies.

Mâche and Radicchio Salad With Beets and Walnut Vinaigrette
Of all the greens I worked with this week, mâche has the sweetest, mildest flavor. It goes nicely with the bitter radicchio, sweet beets and the nutty vinaigrette. Mâche is so delicate that it takes very little dressing.
Craig Claiborne’s Ambrosia
This mixture of oranges, bananas, grated coconut and sugar is a dessert that is considered by many to be as Southern as magnolias and mint juleps. Craig Claiborne brought this recipe to The Times in 1987 after spending Thanksgiving at the Elgin mansion house, a Greek Revival-style home, in Natchez, Miss., built between 1840 and 1855, and owned by Dr. William Calhoun and his wife, Ruth Ellen. Ethel Banta, Ms. Calhoun's sister, contributed this recipe. Need a few tips on how to segment citrus? Here's a video.
