"Josiah Citrin, chef at Mélisse in Santa Monica, makes his mom’s yam soufflé with brown butter pecan crust for Thanksgiving. It’s the perfect complement for fall dishes such as turkey, venison, or wild game; the soft, sweet, custardy texture of the yam in combination with the nutty crunch of the pecans makes one of them all." - Jillian Dara
