Meat pies are a beloved snack all over the world, from pasty to hujiao bing to tourtière and everything in between. These Nigerian pies boast a flaky crust and delicious savory filling with beef, vegetables, and chili peppers. They’re similar to empanadas but have fewer variations in the flavors and ingredients, though various meats may be used. Nigerian meat pies make a great accompaniment to a picnic or summer cookout. They can be prepared earlier in the day and brought to a gathering or potluck.
Spanakopita is a traditional Greek spinach pie wrapped in phyllo dough, giving it a flaky, crisp, golden crust. The spinach pairs wonderfully with the feta cheese, and adding gruyere cheese adds a nutty flavor. Spanakopita makes a wonderful appetizer or side dish.
This vegan eggplant dish comes from Hunan, a landlocked province in southern China in the middle reaches of the Yangtze watershed. Their cuisine is known for its spicy flavors and fresh aromas. You can’t ask for a better compliment to eggplants’ mild and water-rich flavors than the warm, spicy sauce packed with umami. It’s very satisfying as an appetizer, side, or with rice to make a main dish.
Shumai are traditional dumplings often served as part of dim sum. They’re part of Cantonese cuisine from the Guangdong province of China, a southeastern coastal region. There are many variations of shumai, both in China and around the world. This version uses a combination of pork and shrimp, as well as shiitake mushrooms, water chestnuts, scallions, and seasoning. You can buy dumpling wrappers or make your own, as this recipe instructs. Making wrappers might seem intimidating, but it’s actually pretty easy and satisfying. This recipe makes 24 shumai.

Rice pilaf is a traditional rice cooking method where the grains are sautéed with other ingredients and cooked with broth. Wild rice is a grain that is a close cousin to domesticated rice, but not the same thing. It comes from four types of grass that grow in shallow water. Traditionally, they were harvested by indigenous people in North America and, to a lesser extent, in China. The grain is very similar to long-grain rice in texture, but it has a vegetal flavor that pairs well with mushrooms and other fall favorites.
This delicious potato dish is just as creamy as the traditional version but entirely plant-based. The cream sauce is made with roasted leeks, imparting a delightful flavor that perfectly complements the potatoes.

This summer salad incorporates many of the season’s best flavors, with sweet corn and strawberries, savory basil, fresh tomatoes, and arugula for a little kick. The queso fresco is a mild but salty cheese, almost like a combination of feta and mozzarella. You can also use cotija cheese for a slightly more robust flavor.
Mayak eggs are an effortless Korean dish that packs a flavor punch! Sweet, salty, and a little spicy, they go especially well with a bowl of hot rice. The eggs are soft-boiled, so they have a wonderful jammy texture. This recipe is an easy weeknight dinner if you put the marinade together in the morning and leave them to finish while you’re away at work.

Muhammara is a delicious sweet, savory, and slightly spicy dip from Syria. Similar to hummus, this is a wonderful vegan starter, especially paired with flatbread or veggies.
This delicious oyster and sausage stuffing will be the bell of your next holiday feast. We used andouille sausage, which kicked up the spiciness nicely. But, if you prefer a milder alternative, you can use Italian sausage.
This kale salad combines all the best autumn flavors. The crispy cheddar and sweet apples are a classic combination and the light cider dressing is perfection.
Macaroni and cheese may not sound like a traditional Thanksgiving side if you hail from New England. But in the South, it’s a staple! This recipe has an autumnal twist, using butternut squash in the sauce and roasted squash mixed in. We used zucca pasta, which both looks like pumpkins and has a habit of filling up with sauce! However, if you want something more traditional, you can use macaroni.
Even Brussels sprouts naysayers will love this side. The cream sauce complements the sprouts’ mild sweetness, and the crispy gruyere top gives it a nutty finish.
This may be the easiest side dish at your holiday feast, but also one of the prettiest!

When prepared as patties, they’re called frikadellen, the original hamburgers! This recipe also includes schnittlauchbrot, open-faced chive sandwiches.
Halloumi is a very special cheese from Cyprus. It has a salty flavor, reminiscent of feta but less intense. What makes it particularly interesting is that halloumi cheese doesn’t melt, giving it a versatility that is pretty rare in the cheese world. It can be roasted, sautéed, fried, and even thrown on the drill! These kebabs are delicious, with the orange marinade complementing the salty cheese to perfection!
