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.

Chilled Melon Soup With Toasted Almonds

Spicy Homemade Dijon-Style Mustard

Watermelon Pico De Gallo

Honeydew Granite

Fettuccine With White Truffles and Chives

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.

Onion Phyllo Pie

Wild Mushroom Ragout

Wheat Berry and Tomato Salad
Whole wheat berries lend themselves to both summer and winter dishes. Much of the flavor in this salad comes from the tangy juice of chopped tomatoes, almost like a marinade for the chewy wheat. The salad is all about texture, with crunchy celery (or cucumber) and soft feta contrasting with wheat.

Morning Couscous With Oranges and Dates
This is a delicious way to enjoy couscous. You can reconstitute the couscous the night before and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. All it will need in the morning is a steam in the microwave and the addition of the oranges.

Peach Cake

Chickpeas in Star Anise and Date Masala
This recipe, adapted from Meeru Dhalwala of Vij’s Restaurant, in Vancouver, British Columbia, came to The Times in 2010, part of a Sam Sifton piece about vegetarian meals for meat-lovers. The dish, he writes, is a “simple chickpea curry that Dhalwala cooks with star anise and chopped dates, which combine into an autumnal darkness that lingers on the tongue.” Coming together quickly, it’s a great choice for a weeknight meal or a lazy winter weekend.

Butternut Squash Kibbeh With Spiced Feta

Spicy Rum Punch
Here is a rum punch to suggest parties near a warm ocean and sand beneath your feet. It’s an old-fashioned concoction, and you’ll need to raid your spice cabinet for this. Pour it over ice and give thanks for the warming comfort of good rum.

Spicy Sautéed Fuzzy Melon
Resembling a mottled green zucchini with sparse, bristly hair, fuzzy melon is a type of gourd popular in Chinese cooking. Often stuffed with ground pork, it absorbs flavors easily and also shines in simpler recipes, like this one from Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery in Boston.

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.

Creamy Oat Groats
“Groat” — not to be confused with “grit” — is an old Scottish term for a dehulled oat kernel. Like steel-cut oats, which are just pieces of groat that get broken during dehulling, groats have been prepared and eaten as hot cereal or gruel for centuries, sustaining generations of hard-working farmers and laborers. These days, it’s fortifying the food elite. Quinn and Karen Hatfield of Hatfield’s in Los Angeles use the hearty grain as inspiration for an elegant (some might even say delicate) vegetarian entrée of wild-mushroom “cannelloni.” To make the dish, creamy, hollandaise-enriched groats flecked with herbs and lemon zest are combined with mushrooms and then stuffed into oat crepes.
