Recipes to Cook in November
November is a great month for cooks: Thanksgiving's on the horizon, the weather's turning colder, and the markets are full of hearty winter vegetables. Here are 17 dishes we're looking forward to cooking this month, from rich, tender lamb roast to dark walnut pie with sour whipped cream.
Spelt Risotto with Beets and Horseradish
Heston Blumenthal, chef at the Fat Duck in Bray, England, was inspired by his trip to Transylvania in this dish. Blumenthal substitutes spelt, a wheat berry found in most supermarkets, for the more common short-grain rice to give the risotto a nutty and wholesome flavor.
Soy-Braised Kabocha Squash
Braising—with a healthy dose of soy—is one of our favorite ways to bring out the texture and flavor of winter squash.
Roasted Parsnips with Horseradish Mayonnaise
Horseradish is a staple of many Passover seder tables. In this dish from cookbook author Leah Koenig, it gets mixed with mayonnaise and fresh rosemary in a piquant dip for roasted parsnips. See the recipe for Roasted Parsnips with Horseradish Mayonnaise »
Bouchon's Apple Butter
This concentrated apple butter makes a stellar apple pie, but is also a natural accompaniment to toast.

Brown Butter Walnut Pie with Sour Whipped Cream
Browned butter accentuates the flavor of earthy walnuts and a sour cream topping offsets the richness of the filling for a balanced, delectable dessert.
Roasted Beets with Orange and Crème Fraîche
A cool and tangy crème fraîche dressing adorns roasted beets for a simple, colorful side dish. We like to use a combination of red and golden beets for presentation. Get the recipe for Roasted Beets with Orange and Crème Fraîche »
Onion and Bacon Tart
The custardy batter for this dish, a cousin of Yorkshire pudding, puffs like an enormous popover in the oven. See the recipe for Onion and Bacon Tart »
