18 Vegetarian Winter Squash Main Dishes for Thanksgiving (and Beyond)

Vegetarian Winter Squash Main Dishes for Thanksgiving.

18 vegetarian winter squash main dishes for all through Autumn and Winter. They're not just for Thanksgiving! "What's your favorite winter squash?" I posed this question on my Facebook page recently, and got a huge response. Readers listed everything from the familiar, like butternut squash, to the wildly unfamiliar, like sweet meat and onion squash. As a result, now I want to find them and red kuri squash, to see how it might be different from the rest. Thanks to that informal polling, ...

Lightened Maple Carrot Flan: #Fallfest

Lightened Maple Carrot Flan

As we gallop towards Thanksgiving, food bloggers, magazines, grocery stores, and Martha all bubble over with ideas for the table you'll be setting on November 26th. And so are we at FN Dish, the Food Network's blog. For this week's #Fallfest, we're digging up carrots by the truckload to make dishes for you to share with your friends and family this year. I'll be honest, right up front. I don't eat a lot of carrots. Don't get me wrong -- I add them to lentils and other legume dishes, and throw ...

Boozy Cranberry Sauce with Pears and Raisins

November 21, 2014 8 Comments

Every year or so, I like to switch up my cranberry sauce. Cranberries offer a feast of opportunities since they work and play well with both savory and sweet. Some years I fold in onions, Serrano peppers, and cinnamon and serve it over salmon, pork chops, or cream cheese. But this year it's all about pears, raisins, and brandy, and my starting place was this wonderful contest winner on Food52 that I've made many, many times. If you make this sauce, and I hope you do, tomorrow I'm posting what ...

Thanksgiving: An Invitation To A Global Feast

November 22, 2011 10 Comments

Every once in awhile, a book will show up unannounced on my doorstep, thoughtfully selected by my cousin for me. It sometimes arrives unexpectedly, and is always a welcome surprise. Earlier this year, one of her gifts was 97 Orchard: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement, and if you haven’t read it, I heartily recommend it. The book traces the lives and food of five immigrant families newly arrived in the United States who, at different times, lived at 97 Orchard ...
