Here are our recipe tester's favorite recipes from the past month:
Apple–Fennel Butter
This autumnal condiment from Jonathan Bennett has a way of winding up on anything we're making.
Ham Hock–Tomato Stew
Jose Garces is often seen showing off his bag of culinary tricks on Iron Chef, but this hearty dish, which he'll prepare at his upcoming Beard House dinner, gets its magic from the simple art of the braise.
Savory Cranberry Bread Pudding
While we originally suggested this side for Thanksgiving, it's also a natural for this month's holiday table.
