1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups wild rice
2 cups low-salt chicken or turkey broth
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
3/4 cup (3 ounces) pecans
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup (about 3 ounces) dried apricots, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup (about 2 1/2 ounces) golden raisins

Season rice to taste with salt and pepper. Fold pecans, sliced cranberries, and sliced celery into mixture. Garnish with celery leaves.
Apple-Walnut-Ginger Galette

Ingredients:
3 large apples (Pink Lady or Gala), peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
"1 trans-fat-free piecrust (such as Whole Foods or homemade

Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; place pie crust on sheet. (It's OK if the pie crust hangs over the sides.) Arrange apple slices in one layer to form a circle about 3 inches from edge of pie crust; fill in circle with more slices. Scrape any remaining walnuts and ginger from bowl onto apples. Gently fold edges of pie crust over outer edge of apple filling to form a thick crust. Spray outer rim of crust with cooking spray; sprinkle crust with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar. Bake until crust is golden brown and apples are soft, 35 minutes. Cut into 8 slices and serve.
Kabocha Purée with Ginger

Ingredients:
1 2 - 2 1/2-pound kabocha squash, halved, seeded

The Fluffiest Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
4 pounds russet potatoes
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 whole black peppercorns
3 sprigs thyme or 1 sprig rosemary
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup (1 stick) cubed, chilled unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
Fill a large pot halfway with cold water. Peel 4 pounds russet and 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes and cut into 2" pieces, adding to pot as they are cut. Add cold water to cover by 1" if needed. Stir in 3 tablespoons kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer until tender, 10-15 minutes. Drain potatoes and transfer to a baking sheet. Let dry, 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 8 whole black peppercorns, 3 sprigs thyme or 1 sprig rosemary, and 2 bay leaves in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is very hot but not boiling, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let mixture infuse for 20 minutes; strain. This will add herbal flavor without coloring the liquid.
Pass potatoes through the smallest disk of a food mill along with 1/2 cup (1 stick) cubed, chilled unsalted butter into a large bowl. Stir in the hot cream mixture. Season generously to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Shrimp and Grits Cakes

Ingredients:
2 cups regular grits
6 cups plus 2/3 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock (amount may vary, depending on grits package directions), divided
Parchment paper
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound large local shrimp, shelled and deveined
Juice of 1 lemon
Hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut in 1/2-inch dice
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry white wine or additional stock
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:
Cook grits as directed on package, using about 6 cups stock instead of water. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; coat paper with cooking spray. Stir Parmesan and butter into grits; season with salt and black pepper. Pour grits onto sheet; smooth into an even layer. Cover and refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 1/2 hours or overnight. Use a 2-inch biscuit or round cookie cutter to cut out 16 cakes; cover cakes and refrigerate. A half hour before serving, heat oven to 300°. In a bowl, toss shrimp with juice and a few shakes of hot pepper sauce. In a large skillet, sauté bacon and bell pepper over medium heat until bacon is light brown but not crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove all but 2 teaspoons bacon fat from pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; add scallions and toss to coat. Sprinkle in flour; sauté, stirring frequently with a wooden spatula, until light brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Add remaining 2/3 cup stock and wine; cook, stirring, until sauce thickens. Season with salt, black pepper and more hot pepper sauce. Add shrimp and any liquid; sauté until just opaque, 2 to 5 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Just prior to serving, transfer grits cakes to a baking sheet; bake until warm through, about 6 minutes. Spoon a bit of sauce and 1 shrimp over each cake; garnish with parsley. Do AHEAD: The grits-cake base of these nibbles needs to firm up in the fridge for at least 2 1/2 hours—and more time is fine. Prep it the night before your party.
Holiday Apple-Raisin Challah

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons dry yeast
1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup (155 g) granulated sugar
5 large eggs
3/4 cup (180 ml) vegetable oil, such as canola or safflower
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 cups (870 g) all-purpose flour
1 large firm-tart apple (about 8 ounces), peeled, cored, and cut into small cubes
1/2 cup (65 g) raisins
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg yolk

Instructions:
1. Combine 1/2 cup warm water, the yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a small bowl. Stir until the yeast dissolves. Let it activate for 10 minutes—the mixture should look foamy.
2. In the large bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment or with a hand-held mixer, beat the eggs at medium speed until blended. Add the oil, salt, and remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Beat until pale in color, about 4 minutes. Beat in 2/3 cup water, then add the yeast mixture. Beat in the flour 1 cup at a time.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 2 minutes (or use the dough hook on your mixer for 1 minute at low speed). Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and put in a warm corner of your kitchen to rise. I like to use my (unheated) oven with the lightbulb on. You want the dough to double in size, which takes just about an hour.
4. Punch down the dough, rewrap with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let the dough rise for 30 minutes. It won't quite double in this time, but it will puff up.
5. Meanwhile, make the filling: In a small bowl, toss the apples with the raisins, lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon. Let sit for 20 minutes, then drain any liquid.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Divide each half into three equal parts, for a total of six pieces. Roll out each piece to form a 12-inch strand, then pat each strand down into a flat rectangle shape. Spoon a bit of apple mixture down the center of each rectangle, then fold dough over the filling, roll into a 15-inch rope, and pinch the ends tight.
7. Form the loaves: Put three of the apple-filled "ropes" on each baking sheet. Braid the ropes together (fold right rope over center, then fold left rope over center, repeat). Pinch at bottom. Repeat with the other loaf. Cover the loaves with kitchen towels, and let rise for 45 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack to the middle position. Whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water and brush over the tops of the loaves. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake until the crusts are browned and the bread is puffed and light, 30 minutes more. Transfer the loaves to a rack and let cool for 30 minutes before serving.

1 fresh egg white, 2 ounces Navan vanilla liqueur, 1/2 ounce fresh-brewed espresso, at room temperature, 3/4 ounce Mandarine Napoléon orange liqueur, Ice cubes, Hawthorn strainer, 2 cocktail shakers, cocktail, orange twist

Instructions:
Put the spring from a Hawthorn strainer and the egg white in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until soft peaks form, about 30 seconds; set aside. In a separate cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla liqueur, espresso, and orange liqueur with ice and shake well. Add this mixture to the egg white (with the shaker spring still inside) and quickly shake to combine. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with the orange twist.
Rittenhouse Inn Wassail Punch

12 whole cloves, 6 whole allspice, 1/2 inch fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced, 3 cinnamon sticks, 12 whole white peppercorns, 1 gallon fresh apple cider, 6 ounces cranberry juice, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed, 10-12 ounces bourbon, cheesecloth, kitchen string, large pot, mugs, ground nutmeg and 1 cinnamon stick per drink

Instructions:
To make the wassail, wrap the cloves, allspice, ginger, cinnamon sticks, and peppercorns in cheesecloth and tie with kitchen string. Combine the cider, cranberry juice, brown sugar, and spice bag in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
For each serving, put one ounce of the bourbon into a mug and fill it with hot Wassail. Garnish with a dusting of nutmeg and a cinnamon stick.
Grilled Veal Chops with Caper and Sage Sauce

Ingredients:
4 veal rib chops trimmed of excess fat (about 10 ounces each), and 1 inch thick
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup diced (1/4-inch) red onion
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons julienned lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons homemade chicken stock or low-salt canned chicken broth

Instructions:
Heat a grill until it is very hot. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
Rub the chops with the oil and sprinkle them with the salt and pepper. Put the chops on the clean grill rack and cook for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer them to the oven and let them rest and finish cooking for at least 10 minutes (the chops can be kept in the oven for up to 30 minutes).
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
At serving time, place a chop on each of four plates and coat with the sauce.
Raspberry Velvet

Ingredients:
1 12-ounce package IQF frozen unsweetened raspberries, defrosted, or 12 ounces fresh raspberries
1/3 cup seedless black raspberry preserves
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
4 fresh mint sprigs

Instructions:
Push the raspberries and preserves through a food mill, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer set over a stainless steel bowl to eliminate any remaining seeds. Or puree the berries with the preserves in a food processor, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Add the water and mix well. (You should have about 2 cups.)
Place the bowl in the freezer and freeze, stirring every hour or so, until it is half frozen and velvety.
Meanwhile, pour the lime juice into one small saucer and put the sugar in another. Dip the rims of four stemmed glasses (preferably tulip champagne glasses) into the lime juice and then into the sugar, to create a border. Place the glasses in the freezer or refrigerator until serving time.
At serving time, divide the raspberry velvet among the prepared glasses and decorate each with a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
