Autumn dishes for entertaining

Throw a party or a get-together with friends—when the weather starts to get chilly, that's exactly what autumn calls for.

Butternut Squash Hummus

Try this autumnal hummus variation, which combines chickpeas with sweet roasted butternut squash, tangy sauce, and Greek yogurt. The dip is smooth, velvety, and rich in flavor, sure to please everyone. Before blending the roasted butternut squash, be sure to set aside a few chunks for garnish.

Homemade Non-Alcoholic Apple Cider

You can brew a delicious and invigorating non-alcoholic apple cider at home and enjoy it year-round, chilled in summer and warmed in winter. It's best to brew cider using several apple varieties, both tart and sweet, for a fuller and more pronounced flavor. To further enhance the apples' flavor, add a few oranges, cinnamon, and cloves. The spices can be added whole or ground. Place whole cinnamon sticks and cloves in a cheesecloth bag to avoid having to fish them out of the pot later. Brew the cider in a saucepan or slow cooker, strain, add sugar to taste, and enjoy.

Chili with beef tenderloin

This meaty dish has a Southwestern American flair thanks to jalapeños and chili powder. Best of all, it only takes 15 minutes to prepare.

Braised roast beef with vegetables

For convenience, Tyler makes the dish in one pot. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper, and caramelize it for added flavor. Add rosemary, celery, and carrots for a flavorful and colorful dish perfect for entertaining.

Penne pasta with butternut squash and goat cheese

Giada spoons the pasta directly onto the goat cheese, turning it into a delicate sauce—the cheese melts beneath the hot pasta. If desired, the sauce can be thinned with the pasta cooking water. The soft texture of the roasted butternut squash is balanced by the crunch of toasted walnuts.

Boeuf Bourguignon - a classic recipe

Natural cutlet fried in batter with pear chutney

Pizza with minced lamb

Excellent boiled black beans

For this side dish, you need to calculate the time in advance: the beans should be pre-soaked in water overnight.



We recommend

Pulled beef and caramelized onions on buns

Ree shares her secret ingredient: a jar of pepperoncini peppers, which make sandwiches extra special. Simmer the beef in a slow cooker or Dutch oven until very tender. You can then shred it immediately, or refrigerate it overnight to easily skim off the fat the next day.

Sandwich bacon and cornbread stuffing between seared pork steaks, then top the festive meal with cream cheese mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas.

Pork medallions

Trisha's Asian-inspired dish is made with teriyaki sauce, apple cider vinegar, ginger sauce, and orange juice. Coat the pork tenderloin with the sauce and marinate for up to 24 hours before grilling.

Meatballs braised in marinara sauce

Cook Alex's delicious meatballs to medium, similar to burger patties. They should be tender when you add your favorite tomato sauce.

Braised Beef Rib Tacos

Caramelize and brown the ribs before placing them in the slow cooker. Add a sweet and sour sauce made with ancho chiles and brown sugar and cook until tender. Fill warm tortillas with the shredded meat and top with sour cream.

Panini with smoked bacon

Ina's sandwich is more than just a grilled cheese. She dips each slice of bread in a mixture of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan, then tops it with bacon, aged Gruyere cheese, and sharp cheddar. Press the sandwich down and cook until the cheese melts.

Roasted Garlic Chicken Sandwich with Rosemary Sauce

Flavorful chicken with garlic and rosemary is served on slices of sourdough bread, just like the famous dish from Zuni Cafe in San Francisco. The bread soaks up the delicious juices from the meat and vinaigrette.
