November is a great month for cooks: Thanksgiving’s on the horizon, the weather’s turning colder, and the markets are full of hearty winter vegetables. Here are 17 dishes we’re looking forward to cooking this month, from rich, tender lamb roast to dark walnut pie with sour whipped cream.

"Spelt

Spelt Risotto with Beets and Horseradish

Heston Blumenthal, chef at the Fat Duck in Bray, England, was inspired by his trip to Transylvania in this dish. Blumenthal substitutes spelt, a wheat berry found in most supermarkets, for the more common short-grain rice to give the risotto a nutty and wholesome flavor.
"Soy-Braised

Soy-Braised Kabocha Squash

Braising—with a healthy dose of soy—is one of our favorite ways to bring out the texture and flavor of winter squash.

Roasted Parsnips with Horseradish Mayonnaise

Horseradish is a staple of many Passover seder tables. In this dish from cookbook author Leah Koenig, it gets mixed with mayonnaise and fresh rosemary in a piquant dip for roasted parsnips. See the recipe for Roasted Parsnips with Horseradish Mayonnaise »

This concentrated apple butter makes a stellar apple pie, but is also a natural accompaniment to toast.
