Cooking Method: Roasting
Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce
My friend Mitch, who is an incredible cook, (brother of the stellar woodworker, note the phenomenal cutting board!) is in town and he made this Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce for his mother for dinner. It's a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe from his Plenty cookbook. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to taste it, but I have been wanting to make this for some time. Sprinkle za'atar and plenty of pomegranate seeds on top and garnish with lemon thyme. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

Honey Chicken with Yams, Cranberries and Pecans
I realized after I made it that this Honey Chicken with Yams, Cranberries and Pecans is rather Autumnal. I went to the market with no idea what to make and this is what I came with. The nice thing is that it's all done in one pan, from the stovetop to the oven.

Crunchy Chickpeas 3 Ways
To me, snacks are all about texture and crunch. This is a very healthy, yet satisfying snack. You could slip these in among the chicken wings at your party. I have done in 3 ways. Please note that the chickpeas I used were very small and cooked much faster than 40 minutes. Watch them carefully after 30 minutes in the oven.
