Warm Brioche Berry Shortcake

Savory Mini-Madeleines
A basket of warm mini-madeleines ends the meal at Rôtisserie Georgette in Manhattan. But in the summer of 2017, the owner Georgette Farkas challenged one of her chefs, Stephanie Abrams, to come up with a savory version to pair with a predinner drink. They’re easily made at home; the recipe produces a generous quantity. But they freeze beautifully and can be defrosted and warmed for about 20 minutes in a 325 degree oven.

Tunisian Brik

Brioche Bread Pudding

Toasted Brioche Shortcakes With Strawberries

Chorba Soup With Lamb

Chicken Liver Tacos With Rhubarb Salsa
Tart rhubarb meets earthy chicken livers in this unlikely savory pairing. The chicken livers cook quickly, in minutes, in fact. Keep an eye on them to make sure the insides stay pink, then tuck them into warm corn tortillas. Serve with a fresh red like a Lagrein to round out a sophisticated, bold meal you can make on a hot day or a weeknight when you’re looking to impress guests.

Baked Stuffed Artichokes

Artichokes With Eggs

Melissa Kelly's Rubbed Rack of Lamb

Magret With Rhubarb and Blood Oranges
Magret is fattened duck breast. I like to serve it on a round plate, with the slices fanned out and the thick, chutney-like sauce piled in the center. The rhubarb plays off rosy meat and the orange contributes more acid.

Lamb Braised With White Beans and Turnips
Bordeaux is more distinctive for wines than food, though its vinously sauced dishes are famous, as is its lamb from Pauillac. Indeed, while tasting, it struck me that succulent lamb, with slightly gamy fat, would best unpin the tight embrace of the 2008 vintage from the Médoc. I braised chunks of lamb shoulder in wine, gave the dish an edge with lemon zest and white turnips, and added buttery white beans, a classic partner for lamb. If you like canned beans, rinse and drain them, and add in place of the cooked beans, with the turnips, during final simmering.

Rice With Rabbit
Memorable dishes sometimes come out of nowhere. One recent evening in Tarragona, just south of Barcelona, I wandered past a number of cafes and tapas bars. Txantxangorri, a Basque place serving rice dishes — not paellas — was the only one that had seats. The rice with rabbit, served in a terra cotta casserole, was simple, satisfying and, unlike the Michelin-starred dishes I had elsewhere in Spain, something I could try at home. With reds from Roussillon, a region that is practically in Catalonia anyway, I had my chance.If you do not have an earthenware casserole, you can make the whole thing, from stovetop to oven, in enameled cast iron.

Beef With Mushrooms and Capers

Pork Braised With Turnips and Marjoram
In assembling this rather straightforward pork ragout, my main question was how to produce a sauce with substantial consistency, considering I had not planned to use any flour or other thickener. I thought that finely diced apple, which would melt into the sauce, might do the trick. It did, though also mincing the shallots meant that they, too, would add body. Pork shoulder, called butt for some reason, is the best cut for slow-cooking. It will have fat, which is to its advantage in terms of flavor and texture, and is a component that can be trimmed and put to practical use to start the cooking.

Watercress Barlotto

South Coast Portuguese Fish Chowder

Cold Thai Daikon And Shrimp Soup

Seafood Choucroute
Bold, bracing sour beers like gueuze, kriek and lambic will slice right through a meal from aperitif to cheese, stymied only at dessert. They’ll stand up to fat, juicy pork and will welcome all sorts of seafood, like clams and oysters, smoked salmon, grilled bass, and skate in a saline caper butter. You also cannot go wrong with the Alsatian sauerkraut classic, choucroute garnie. But consider making that dish a clever showcase for fresh and smoked fish, with the typical pork at a minimum. Years ago, I loved the fish choucroute at Au Crocodile in Strasbourg, France, with a dry riesling. Back then, who knew from sour beer?
