Herbs & Spices

Cinnamon-Almond Cookies

This recipe makes a lot of dough. If you don't need all of it, freeze the extra. For impromptu entertaining, you can slice the still-frozen dough into cookies and pop them in the oven for a quick dessert.

Lemon Verbena Soda

This refreshing, slightly sweet soda is one of several kinds that Erin O'Shea, sommelier at Clio, in Boston, pairs with chef Ken Oringer's exciting food as part of the restaurant's nonalcoholic drink program.

Cashew-Coconut Tart in Chocolate Crust

There's a layer of chocolate between the cookie-like crust and the rich filling of this sophisticated spin on the traditional pecan pie.

Quince and Currant Chutney

This fresh side is a delicious alternative to cranberry sauce.

Alton's T-Day Gravy

If you aren't making the schmaltz manié ahead of time, there's no need to form the paste into balls. Simply add the paste by teaspoonfuls to the simmering stock until the gravy has reached the desired consistency.

Cornbread Stuffing with Ham, Chestnuts, and Sage

For convenience, make the cornbread one day before preparing the stuffing.

Cider-Brined-and-Glazed Turkey

Unlike most brined turkeys, this one can be stuffed because the apple-cider brine contains less salt than the typical recipe. Begin brining two days ahead.

Kumquat-Cardamom Tea Bread

This would be a crowd-pleasing addition to breakfast or brunch. The iced tea powder adds an intriguing background flavor.

Celery Root Bisque with Thyme Croutons

Celery root (also called celeriac) is one of autumn's most delicious—but least appreciated—vegetables. Here it adds fresh celery flavor to this velvety first-course soup.

Cauliflower Soup with Thyme Croutons

Try this seasonal, six-ingredient wonder as a first course for Thanksgiving dinner.

Plymouth Rock and Roll

An autumnal, herbaceous twist on the Martini.
