Enliven traditional chicken soup with fresh fennel and a dose of green kale. Dill-flecked matzo balls bring the classic to another level.
Like spicy lamb noodles and a rich pumpkin cheesecake.
Like Bombay rolls and roasted eggplant in satay sauce.
Get into the holiday spirit with peppermint meringues, jammy Linzer sandwiches, fruitcake bar cookies, and more.
Like Key lime thumbprint cookies and a spicy cabbage salad.
Like sofrito bolognese, baked butter paneer, and London Fog brownies.
