Honey-Pecan Tart with Chocolate GlazeMatthew Hranek

We've made one of America's most famous holiday desserts — pecan pie—even more delicious by adding an unctuous layer of moist caramel, a touch of bittersweet chocolate (to cut the sweetness), and some finely shaved nuts on top.

Cooks' notes:

•Filling can be made 4 days ahead and cooled completely, then chilled, covered.

•Tart can be baked (but not glazed) 1 day ahead and cooled to room temperature, uncovered, then kept, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature. Glaze and garnish before serving.

Recipe notes

Caramelized Onion Pasta

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.

Cod With Lemon Butter Sauce

A flurry of fresh tarragon makes this speedy weeknight dish of seared cod and luscious, sun-colored pan sauce feel restaurant worthy.

Vodka Gochujang Pasta

This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.

Smashed Broccoli Pasta

A feel-good dinner designed to cram a ton of veg in each serving.

White Bean Turkey Chili

A dash of cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the broth of this easy turkey chili.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup

Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.

Lemon, Lime, and Bitters

Add a few dashes of Angostura bitters to the top of this lemon-lime-ade for a dreamy ombré look.

Golden Mushroom Soup With Orzo & a Pat of Butter

This is the type of soup that, at first glance, might seem a little…unexciting. But you’re underestimating the power of mushrooms, which do the heavy lifting.
