Today is , and you need something to cook

Chicken and Chickpea Soup

Pick any leftover meat off the carcass, make some stock, and you’re well on your way to a big pot of this wonderful soup.

Sticky Apple Cake

This custardy, caramelized cake is the best vessel for all your beautiful fall apples, bar none.

Black Lentils with Crispy Garlic and Labne

They appear expensive and complicated, but are actually pretty cheap and can be cooked just like pasta.

More Recipes

Creamy Buttermilk Potatoes

My favorite way to make mashed potatoes—a little lumpy, very creamy, lots of butter, some buttermilk for tang, and lots of black pepper and chives.

Very Crunchy Salad feat. Fennel, Apples, and Pecans

A salad is a non-negotiable for me, especially with all the rich, buttery dishes on the table. This bitter, crunchy, bright one with honeyed pecans and fennel seed will get eaten suspiciously fast for a salad at Thanksgiving.

Pork Chops with Tangy Mushrooms

I find one thick pork chop to satisfy two people, so for three people, I will cook two chops. Depending on the size of the chops, you still may have leftovers, but I can say with 100% confidence that sliced, cold pork eaten out of a storage container makes for an excellent mid-day snack.

(Cottage) Cheese Cake

This gorgeous, foolproof cake is a nice way to use any stonefruit that’s starting to pop up at markets (but it’s especially great with apricots).

“The filling is juicy, salty, tangy, tender and full of so many…tomatoes. Add some garlic and capers and a bit of crushed red pepper flake, if you like. There’s also olive oil, salt and pepper, and when you take it out of the oven, a small tiny splash of vinegar. That’s really it.”
