Indian-Spiced Sturgeon with Mint Yogurt SauceRomulo Yanes

This piquant Indian marinade adds depth of flavor to the sturgeon's meaty white flesh.

Active time: 40 min Start to finish: 1 3/4 hr

Cooks' note:

If you aren't able to grill outdoors, sturgeon can be grilled in a well-seasoned large ridged grill pan (without crowding) over moderately high heat, turning once, until just cooked through, about 12 minutes total. (Halibut will take 8 to 9 minutes total.)

Round out these autumn greens with tart pomegranate seeds, crunchy pepitas, and a shower of Parmesan.

Dulce de Leche

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

Classic Potato Latkes

Crispy. Golden. Fluffy. Bubbe would approve.
