As the days became cooler and shorter, we began to look toward comforting and warm meals while still looking back to bright and refreshing foods we craved months before. We made homemade biscuits with marmalade for breakfast, tomato aspic and pan fried pork chops for dinner, decadent layer cakes for dessert, and paired luscious duck-fat gravy with mashed potatoes. Below were our ten most popular November recipes.
