Curry Leaf-Coconut Halibut Stew

An aromatic accent bringing depth of flavor to animal, vegetable and mineral proves a taste that can bind a bowl of disparate and warming elements.

The Adaptable Pancake

With Hanukkah starting this year at sundown on Christmas Day and Kwanzaa the very next day, there might be reason to come up with a base dish that could be customized for all three holidays and their food-focused celebrations. Let that dish be an old reliable: the versatile, beloved potato pancake – with a twist or three, of course.

Pumpkin Soup, Pumped Up

While pie is a fine finale for a non-decorative cultivated winter squash, a warming bowl that stems from its puree has possibilities for embellishments just about as wide-ranging as a prankish, carved jack-o-lantern.

Inspo Sandwich

Not much for silly strains of fusion? Get that. Totally. But sometimes a convergence of two food loves can make for a winsome and satisfying something-or-other that might not have a name, but definitely has a place on a dine card.

Roast Chicken with Frisee

If you’ve never dry-brined a chicken and roasted it, do not wait for the new year to resolve to do just that. While you’re at it, give your bird a spin with some new accoutrements and feel the self-love.

Time to Revive the Rutabaga

We’re nigh on the high season for this perennially overlooked root vegetable, so this time around, put it to good use in a hearty pie that offers good nutrition, ease of preparation and a heap of comfort.

Causa Confession

Please don’t judge a recipe by its photo – at least not in this case. A proper rendition of the lovable mash of sweet potatoes and a companionable filling does make for a happy holiday dish that’s amenable to many.

Pom Carrots

Pomegranate molasses teams up with carrots given a two-step roast and a boost of tart sweetness. It’s just what the season calls for.

The Whirl of Sandwiches

Anything goes when it comes to layering fundamentals and accents on breadstuffs and calling it a hearty meal. This time, it’s a mash-up of many inspirations from far-flung ports.

Broc-‘n’-Bread

Can a summertime salad be fused onto an autumnal green? Yes, it can. With a splendidly grown specimen, anything is possible.

Daikon Slaw with Tinned Fish

Slaw as an entrée? You bet. If it’s based on the fat white radish that loves cohabiting with other sorts of raw produce and includes smoky fish that lends a bit of heft without weightiness.

Pickled Chilies

You’ve fallen for the sheer beauty of early autumn’s varied hot chilies and now have an unwieldly stockpile in your fridge threatening to turn on you at any minute. Time to bring in the calvary of vinegar and spices.
