Cinnamon Rolls
: Kathryn Barnard
1/10
Time to change into your baggiest sweatpants—the ones with the no-longer-elastic waistband. (We can't be the only ones who keep those around, can we?!)
Recipe
Pork Loin Roast
: Yuki Sugiura
2/10
Just like what your grandma would put on the table for Sunday night dinner. (Don't you love how food instantly transports you through time?!)
Recipe
Onion Thyme Tart
: Della Chen
3/10
"Delicate." "Flaky." "Perfect." "I could not stop eating it!" That's what folks are saying about this hors d'oeuvre that's a cinch to make—and devour.

Roast Duck Stuffed with Farro, Figs, and Hazelnuts

Truly impressive and a heck of a lot less fussy than it looks. Tastes pretty darn phenomenal, too. Sign us up.

Brown Butter Winter Squash
: Noel Barnhurst

One taste and you'll forget all about that butter and brown sugar trick your mom taught you long ago. Promise.
Recipe
Chicken with Autumn Vegetables and Madeira
: Christopher Hirsheimer
6/10
A Southern chef's riff on classic French coq au vin. We may have to change our allegiance from France to Frank. (Chef Frank Stitt, that is.)
Recipe
Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Salad
: Maya Visnyei
7/10
Unexpected, easy, eye-catching, and impressive as heck. That's what we think of this lovely autumnal juxtaposition of tastes and textures that's gonna upend the way you think about salads.
Recipe
Apple Coffee Cake
: Leigh Beisch
8/10
Elegant enough for company, simple enough for every day, and versatile enough for breakfast and midnight snack and pretty much every moment in between.
Recipe
Pecan Pie Bread Pudding
: Evan Sung
9/10
When you've got leftover bread, sure, you could make bread crumbs. Or you could make this Southern melding of pie and pudding that's obscenely indulgent. Tough decision, eh?
Recipe
Apple Tart
: Peter Cassidy
10/10
If you took a look at this stunning tart and thought, “I can’t possibly do that!” think again. We suspect you can.
