For this carb-on-carb fried rice recipe, you can use anything but boxed stuffing (the texture is too fine and will turn to mush). We chose a cornbread and chorizo stuffing, which can handle being cooked again and tossed in the stir-fry.

This recipe uses mushrooms in place of the more classic Chinese ham for an XO sauce that is salty, spicy, and funky—and a cheeky reference to green bean casseroles.

This roasted carrots recipe makes extra dressing, which is good because you’ll want to use it on your next burger, over broiled salmon, or in a grain salad.

We know, another kale salad recipe! Don’t write this one off. Roasted ginger makes this one extra special.

Yes, you can buy just a turkey breast for this recipe. And when you cook it without the rest of the bird, you eliminate all those whole-bird problems. This goes great with our Cornmeal Bao with Turkey and Black Pepper Sauce.

For this nontraditional okonomiyaki recipe, you need to julienne the potato. Use a mandoline with the shredder attachment, or slice it very thinly into planks and then crosswise into very thin strips. Makes a terrific appetizer!

We tested this pie recipe with canned sweet potatoes, but it just wasn’t as good. Go fresh or go home.

These pillowy steamed buns are delicious in all the same ways as Parker House rolls, with the sweet flavor of cornmeal.

The flavors of apples dipped in peanut butter, all cozied up inside a flaky puff pastry crust. Sold!

Apple and cheddar met on a cheese board, realized they both dreamed of someday turning into a deep-fried doughnut, and ran off to do just that.

The sour tang and bready texture of the yeasted cake dough keep things interesting; heaps of streusel keep the crowds happy.

You can use the same weight in regular apples for this gingerbread cake recipe, but don’t the little lady apples just look so awesome?!

We call this delightful apple and fig custard recipe “dessert for breakfast.”

A thin layer of caramelized sugar on the surface of these apples mimics the crackle of crème brûlée. Finally, a good reason to poach fruit.

This creamy almond dip would be a terrific and unexpected pairing with any vegetable crudité. This recipe is from Lord Stanley, one of the Hot 10, America's Best New Restaurants 2016.

This ingenious way to prepare sweet potatoes will make you take back every bad word you ever said about them. This recipe is from Lord Stanley, one of the Hot 10, America's Best New Restaurants 2016.

Progression of a tomato sandwich: On buttered bread with salt; on bread with mayo and cheddar; seasoned and grilled with cheddar and mayo. They’re all pretty perfect, but we’ll take the advanced version, thanks.

This hoisin BBQ sauce, along with ginger-scallion relish and cucumber spears dipped in gochugaru, helps make up the Ssam Dog.
