Winter Fruit Chutney from Epicurious: This cinnamon-and coriander-spiced chutney combines wine, raisins and citrus. Yummy!
Winter Greens & Goat Cheese from Williams – Sanoma: This refreshing salad combines three members of the chicory family (frisée, radicchio and Belgian endive), which have a pleasantly bitter taste. Oranges add a note of sweetness, while goat cheese lends a creamy texture.
