Middle Eastern-Inspired Lamb Pizza
The crust for this savory pizza is grilled on both sides: this allows it to cook through and get just enough char without burning. The crispy crust is the perfect vehicle for a topping of savory lamb cooked with aromatic spices and finished with a sprinkling of feta and sumac. The pizza works equally well cut in smaller appetizer portions or to serve four for a main course.

Tomato Tarte Tatin with Anchovy Mayonnaise
While we usually think of tarte tatin as a sweet skillet-roasted dessert, this wonderfully savory version was inspired by late summer tomatoes. The tomatoes are cooked in an intriguing sherry vinegar-based caramel, topped with a classic piecrust dough, (puff pastry makes a great stand in) and baked until the tomatoes burst with flavor and the crust turns golden. The tart is then inverted on to a platter and served with a dollop of umami-rich creamy anchovy mayonnaise.

Mussels in Coconut Chile Broth
Like so many cooks, we learned key fundamental cooking techniques—like how to steam mussels — from Jacques Pepin’s books and television shows. While we may vary the flavorful broth ingredients, we rely on his simple no-fail method to result in tender, flavorful mussels every time.

Fennel Gratin with Gruyere and Lemon
You braise the fennel wedges in chicken stock and melted butter (it would entirely appropriate to replace some of the stock with wine, should you have a bottle open), and once they easily yield to the tip of a paring knife, you top them with a topping made from breadcrumbs, grated cheese, and lemon. Baked up in the useful and beautiful umber stoneware dish from Anolon, the finished dish is outrageously fragrant, lovely enough to share with company, and quite delicious.

Savory Mushroom, Bacon, and Gruyere Bread Pudding
This savory bread pudding is a great winter dish for a crowd. You can even make it vegetarian friendly by omit the bacon, use 1 tablespoon of olive oil to sauté the vegetables and add an additional 1/2 cup of smoked Gouda cheese to the filling. If you can’t find Gruyere cheese, feel free to substitute Jarlsberg or Swiss.

Cola and Brown Sugar Glazed Ham
The caramelized sugars in the cola make an irresistible sweet glaze for your holiday ham. Be sure to get a ham big enough for leftovers—it is nearly as good sliced up for sandwiches or fried with eggs as it is when presented in its full glory just out of the oven.
