In the holiday issue of Bon App\u00e9tit,<\/em> you\u2019ll find ways to celebrate the season: gifts for merrymaking<\/a>, eye-catching b\u00fbches de no\u00ebl made by bakers and artists<\/a>, and luxurious winter white wines to add to your shopping list<\/a>. We\u2019re also sharing a festive lineup of recipes to add to your repertoire.<\/p>\n Start with weeknight dinners, specifically cold-weather comforts like this Butternut Squash Orzo With Fried Sage<\/a>. The recipe relies on canned butternut squash pur\u00e9e to add body, sweetness, and warmth. Then make this bitter winter greens steakhouse salad<\/a> with a creamy black pepper dressing.<\/p>\n In need of a showstopping holiday morning breakfast? Try this ham-and-cheese croissant casserole<\/a> or Babka French Toast Bake<\/a>. Both can be assembled the night before and baked off in the morning for stress-free hosting.<\/p>\n And, of course, it wouldn\u2019t be December without cookies. This year, we\u2019re sharing six festive treats to transport you home for the holidays. Try Masala Tea Creme Pies<\/a>, evoking an afternoon tea in Chennai, India, or Peppermint Black-and-White Cookies<\/a>, a spin on the cakey offering found in many NYC bakeries and Jewish delis. All are great inspiration for your annual cookie swap. Keep reading for all the recipes from our holiday issue.<\/p>\n Not a subscriber yet?
