Apple-Pecan Tart

Fennel, Kale and Rice Gratin
Two types of greens provide delicious contrast in this comforting yet light dish, which is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a festive side. It's a flexible recipe, lending itself to all sorts of adaptations. Make it once, and then make it your own.

Apple Walnut Galette
A great rustic apple pie for Thanksgiving, this has very little butter in the pastry and a minimum of sweetening. It’s all about the apples.

Leek, Mushroom and Goat Cheese Tart
This savory tart is built upon a layer of store-bought puff pastry and topped with goat cheese, fennel, mushrooms and leeks. It makes an impressive (and easy) party appetizer or weeknight dinner for two.

Simple Braised Potatoes
One doesn't usually think of braising as a technique for cooking potatoes, but one should. It's so easy, and yields the same comfort quotient of the mashed sort without all of the peeling, boiling and mashing. Onion, garlic and your choice of thyme or rosemary give them a little oomph. As with all potato dishes, don't forget to season well with salt.

Beet, Potato, Carrot, Pickle and Apple Salad
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 a hearty root vegetable salad enriched with hard-boiled eggs and tossed with a lively Dijon vinaigrette.

Roasted Beets With Chiles, Ginger, Yogurt and Indian Spices
The pungent spices, zingy fresh ginger, dollops of tangy yogurt and fiery green chiles found in Indian cuisine tame the sugary beets in this recipe and open up a whole new universe of flavor. In traditional Indian cooking, beets are usually boiled or steamed, then often made into vegetable curries or chutney. But here they are roasted, which intensifies their sweetness.

Buckwheat and Black Kale With Brussels Sprouts
This warm vegetable and grain salad from executive chef Michael Anthony at New York City’s Gramercy Tavern is hearty and satisfying and works as a standalone vegetarian meal or as an accompaniment to roast meat or fish.

Moroccan Carrot Dip
This vegan dip from America's Test Kitchen has a bright, spiced flavor that goes beautifully with pita chips. To retain the appealing, brilliant orange color, be careful not to brown the carrots when cooking them.

Pan-Fried Risotto Cakes

Tunisian Winter Squash Salad
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."

Butternut Squash and Bacon Risotto
The classic risotto technique applies here, though with a frugal twist. I blended the cooking liquid for the butternut squash and about half of the diced cooked squash itself to produce my vegetable broth. The rest of the diced squash is folded in near the end of cooking. A generous helping of smoked bacon gives the result main-dish heft. This risotto does not need a final dollop of butter or a dusting of cheese.
