C
old weather signals the time when customers are in the mood for hearty
soups, chili, and stews. Robust flavors and varied textures satisfy cravings
for stick-to-the-ribs fare to stave off winter's chill. Cookbook author Joanna
Pruess shares three recipes that live up to the season's demands while add-
ing a touch of flair. Offering plenty of visual drama, roasted beet soup with
dukkah, yogurt, and red currant drizzle swaps out sour cream for Greek-style
yogurt. Provencal lamb stew, featuring a medley of vegetables, comes to
life with southern French seasonings, Nicoise
olives, and herbs. And a vegetarian chili (pic-
tured) adds appeal with Cotija cheese, avocado,
pumpkin seeds, and cilantro. Find the recipes at
