In the colder months, it's natural to seek out comfort foods that nourish and soothe: lasagna oozing with cheese, creamy broccoli-Cheddar soup, hearty beef stew, and all the other usual suspects. But, in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, you may want to steer toward fresh, vibrant flavors in the kitchen to give your palate a much needed break. These eight dinner recipes let you do just that by incorporating sophisticated fall ingredients—apple cider, celery root, mustard greens—without a lot of fuss.

This month, we swap the broiler for the grill with our 10-minute salmon recipe, borrow a slick move for farro from Charlie Bird restaurant in New York City, and once again profess our love for the Middle Eastern pantry: tahini in dessert, anyone?
