The Revolver Cocktail
“A terrific, deeply flavored cocktail.” “A blessing after a rough day at work.” That’s what folks are saying about this cocktail.
Thanksgiving
Caramel Pear Tarts
Nothing says sassy like swapping pears for apples in the classic French tarte tatin. What can we say? We like to live on the edge.
Apple Rose Tart
Sweet, crispy apples crown this elegant apple rose tart. The apples aren’t baked, so their crisp bite of honey and citrus shine.
Apple Cranberry Crisp
A recipe for apple cranberry crisp that can be made at a moment’s notice, whenever you have extra fruit or a craving for something cozy, sweet, and crisp.
Italian-Style Turkey Meatballs
Meatballs are meatballs, right? Not even close. These little babies take ground turkey and make it taste like a healthier, umami-packed heaven.
Focaccia
Easier to shape than a boule, focaccia is the next bread you may want to master making at home. Just slice it and eat it as-is with its dimpled herb-flecked surface.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies
You shouldn’t have to choose between your two competing cravings. The only disappointing thing about these? That we didn’t discover them sooner.
Roasted Vegetable Stock
An umami-rich roasted vegetable stock that’s also vegan from British phenom Nigel Slater. And it’s just begging to be used any way you please.
Red Wine Onions

Most Americans know grissini as those pale breadsticks in the long waxen envelopes at old-time Italian restaurants. How sad for us. Perhaps we can do something about that.
Pure Pumpkin Cheesecake
Watch out, pumpkin pie. Someone wants your job. Badly. This wonderfully luxuriant pumpkin cheesecake from Rose Levy Beranbaum is a terribly enticing alternative to tradition.
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Stunning enough for special occasions. Easy enough for weekday breakfasts. Marvelous enough to make you want it every damn day.
Candied Sweet Potatoes
Real-deal candied sweet potatoes that are, yes, indecently sweet in that traditional Southern way. Yet they’re also spiced just so to satisfy in more way than one.
Pecan Pie Bread Pudding
When you’ve got leftover bread, sure, you could make bread crumbs. Or you could make this Southern melding of pie and pudding that’s obscenely indulgent. Tough decision, eh?
Glazed Ham
Plonk this brown sugar glazed ham on your holiday table, step back, and listen to the gasped oohs and aahs, accept all manner of accolades, and watch it disappear.
Apple Tea Cake
Not as dense or as sweet as a pound cake, this lovely tea cake is rich and buttery and subtly infused with layers of apple and cinnamon with a tart lemon drizzle as a finishing flourish.
BBQ Glazed Smoked Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Add zest to your side dishes this season with these BBQ Glazed Smoked Brussels Sprouts loaded with bacon and served with a quick homemade aioli. So good, you’ll watch everyone come back for seconds! Brussels Sprouts. Everyone loves to hate them. …

Brussels Sprouts with Guanciale

Sweet Potato Puddings
We’re been foregoing the classic sweet potato casserole for these lovely and sweetly satisfying puddings instead.
Cranberry Orange Pecan Bread
This cranberry orange pecan bread is an enticing balance of tart and sweet in a fetching cake-like delivery system. Quite tempting at all times, though especially come November.
Portuguese Onions, Chestnuts, and Bacon
This sautéed onions, chestnuts, and bacon recipe is a salty, caramel-y, and unexpectedly ideal-y mashup of ingredients as a Thanksgiving side dish.
Aligot ~ Pommes Aligot
