Tis the season of comfort food and it doesn’t get more comfortable than this Smoked Haddock Pie. This dish features a rich and creamy béchamel sauce studded with chunks of smoked haddock, tender green peas, shallots, and a host of herbs baked under a lid of buttery mashed potatoes. I piped the potatoes into rosettes and studded them with peas for a little festive flair. This step is technically optional, but if you’re anything like me, it really isn’t. I can’t say no to a little retro charm. So let’s dive right in!

During the holidays even veggies get a little festive fair. Green beans aren’t a dish that typically inspires fandom but these Green Beans with Gorgonzola Aioli just might. This dish features green beans blanched to tender but crisp perfection dressed in a rich Gorgonzola aioli and topped with coarsely chopped pecans and fresh mint leaves. Did I mention the beans are served in a bowl lined with gem lettuce leaves? Because, at this time of year, even beans deserve a nice bit of gift wrap. This recipe is super simple to make and hard to forget, so let’s dive right in!

Holiday meals are so epic that individual dishes tend to get lost. It’s an endless parade of decadence. No matter how special they may be, it will always be hard for soups, sprouts, and sides to steal the show. But despite all this indulgent noise, we still have to put effort into each dish. That’s because a low note in a sea of high notes is bound to be the most memorable. Sad but true. So while it may be tempting to phone it in on the soup course (if you’re even bothering with a soup course) I’m here to tell you it’s not worth it. But I get it, when you’re elbow-deep in a turkey, soup may seem like a low priority. The solution? This Silky Acorn Squash Soup! It’s tasty, festive, and nearly effortless to put together.

Cinnamon Miso Delicata Galette

Sometimes I dream up recipes to fulfill a defined, single purpose. A roast recipe for a celebration, the perfect snack for a movie night, or a warming sip for an aprés ski. But sometimes a recipe wanders into my head and I don’t have a clue what to do with it. And that is the case with today’s Cinnamon Miso Delicata Galette. This flaky beauty features tender slices of delicata squash packed into a golden whole wheat pastry slathered with cinnamon miso butter. The pie is finished with a sprinkling of rosemary, coarsely chopped pecans, and pomegranate arils. It is equal parts sweet and savory, and I think it would be right at home at the beginning or the end of the meal. Sure, this tart may have a bit of an identity crisis going on but at least it’s a delicious one. So let’s dive right in!
