Dinner
Weekly Meal Plan: November 5–10
Slow-roasted salmon, one-skillet pasta, and deliciously sloppy burgers.
What to Cook This Weekend: November 2–4
Welcome the new month with mushroom-topped polenta, banana-stuffed French toast, and posole for a crowd.
Roast Pumpkin With Dukkha and Pomegranate
Keep a jar of dukkha—a mix of spiced, salted seeds—in the pantry to add life to roasted winter squash or any other simply prepared vegetable.
Clams with Chorizo, Leeks, Tomato, and White Wine
You need the fresh, soft, fiery red version of chorizo for this dish, the kind that bleeds out bright red-orange grease into the pot when you heat it.
Roasted Cauliflower with Sesame
This dish is compulsively delicious. One adult could easily eat the entire head of cauliflower for dinner and feel good about it.
Stars Pappardelle
You don't need to cut the finished star sheets into pappardelle—farfalle, lasagne sheets, or any other noodles on the larger side would also showcase this pattern well.
Beet and Fig Salad with Candied Pecans
Set roasted, jewel-toned beets and fresh figs over creamy, tart labneh and scatter with honeyed pecans for an autumn salad that's both fresh and comforting.
Russian Deviled Eggs
A topping of salmon roe gives these deviled eggs an extra layer of flavor.
Thanksgiving for 20: The Game Plan
Hosting Thanksgiving for 20 is easier with a plan. Here's your step-by-step guide.
A Totally Doable (and Delicious) Thanksgiving Menu for 20–40
The first rule of hosting for 20 or more: let go of the Norman Rockwell turkey-carving moment.
A Modern Thanksgiving Menu for 10–12
The sweet potatoes, the turkey, the cranberry sauce—it's all there. It's just a little fresher, and a lot easier to pull off, than the menu Grandma would have made.
Instant Pot Beef and Sweet Potato Chili
Sweet potatoes almost melt as they cook under pressure in the Instant Pot, lending a silky texture and sweet flavor to this harissa-spiced chili.
A Three-Hour Thanksgiving Menu for 6–8
The secrets of the speed? A cut-up turkey and a puff pastry pie.
A No-Stress Thanksgiving Menu for 2–4
How do you make a menu of golden turkey breast, luscious spoon bread, and a pecan-cranberry galette actually easy? Make it for a party of four (or less).
Cacio e Pepe Pie
In this extra cheesy, extra comforting meal, spaghetti pie meets an Italian classic: cacio e pepe.
Turkey for Twenty
Roasting turkey in pieces is a great strategy when cooking for a large crowd. You can buy the turkey already cut up, separate two turkeys yourself, or ask your butcher to do the work for you.
Roasted Cauliflower With Parmesan Crumble
A make-ahead Parmesan and panko crumble adds addictive savory crunch to this large-format holiday side.
Cornbread Stuffing with Chorizo and Sweet Potatoes
This flavor-packed holiday side feeds a crowd of 20 and takes care of both the stuffing and the sweet potatoes.
Cheesy Corn Spoon Bread
Serve this creamy and garlicky spoonbread hot out of the oven for a cozy cold-weather side.
Roasted Carrot, Brussels Sprout, and Cranberry Salad
A mix of roasted and raw veggies and a poppy seed dressing bring a pleasing variety of textures to this holiday side.
