Winter

We especially like the combination of parsnips, kohlrabi, and celery root in this bacony mash. Prepare the dish a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld (and save time on Thanksgiving Day).

Traditional Thanksgiving flavors (winter squash, cinnamon, butter) are given a beautiful Persian accent. The exotic spiced butter is also a treat mixed into couscous.

Celery root and potatoes are a mash made in heaven. Transfer cubed potatoes and celery root to a bowl of water as soon as you cut them to keep them from turning brown.

A recipe for dates and Parmesan in a relish over roasted squash? Don't knock it till you try it.

This super-simple shortbread gets festive thanks to a tart cranberry-grapefruit compote.

Blizzard food at its best. This buttery crusted pie, filled with rib-sticking pork, will fortify you for any winter's night.

Pair fennel with jewel-like pomegranate seeds and power-packed quinoa for texture, and you have the hallmarks of a chef Yotam Ottolenghi salad.

Our fresh take on the classic Moroccan salad pairs shaved fennel and red onion with assorted beets and oranges for color contrast.

Using a culinary torch is the best way to caramelize the sugar into a candy shell, but you can also make this old-school breakfast treat using your broiler.

Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and can also calm an upset stomach. We love the heat it adds to this chicken soup recipe.

A good sticky toffee pudding recipe is a wonderful thing.
