Scallop-and-Halibut Ceviche Salad
This recipe came to The Times from Fanny Singer, the daughter of Alice Waters, the chef and food activist. It’s inspired by Ms. Singer’s favorite street food. Ceviche is almost always so astringent that the fish loses identity, but the freshness of the ingredients and softness of the lime marinade here are neither confrontational nor eye-squinching. It’s simple stuff: avocado, grapefruit, prickly chile, cilantro, lime and an absolutely fresh sea creature. Making the dish takes a bit of work, but it’s the perfect recipe for when you don’t want to turn on the stove.

Blackberry Martinis
One of the most exquisite exploitations of the blackberry is accomplished by teaming it with a little booze and presenting it in a sugar-rimmed martini glass, making what might be called a blacktini. The original recipe, from ''The Berry Bible,'' suggests vodka, but I find the complexity of the drink enhanced by the gin's juniper-berry accent. I think vodka is dull, actually, but if you like it (most of America seems to), go with God.
Chicken La Tulipe
Jonathan Reynolds brought this recipe to The Times in 2000, from the New York restaurant La Tulipe. He thought it a perfect dish for a man to cook for a woman. (Whether that is also true for men cooking for men and women cooking for women, he said he didn’t know, so we tested it out: It does.) The morels and Cognac are wildly sophisticated additions to what otherwise might be a plain roasted chicken, making the dish an easy, stylish win for newish cooks interested in making an impression on a sweetheart or someone who might become one. Make the cooking “appear effortless,” Mr. Reynolds wrote. “Pour things from a great height. Think Fred Astaire, not one of those grunting tennis players.”
Banana-Walnut Bread Pudding
This unapologetically rich special-occasion dessert is adapted from one served at the Blue Ribbon Bakery and Cafe, a working bakery in Greenwich Village known for its eclectic American cuisine. It counts four cups of heavy cream and 11 egg yolks among its list of ingredients, but we promise you won't regret the indulgence. In his 2003 article accompanying the recipe, Jonathan Reynolds said, “The banana-walnut bread pudding with banana caramel sauce puts most bread puddings out of the game, and I've had roughly 10,000 bread puddings.” Did we mention that's it's a cinch to put together? It is, and it's perfect for a crowd. (Here are some ideas for what to make with all of those leftover egg whites.)
Lucas Schoormans’s Lemon Tart
Lucas Schoorman, a Chelsea art dealer and hobbyist baker, introduced this elegant lemon tart to the Times in 2004. It's a showstopper dessert featuring two distinct, delicious layers: one of frangipani, an almond-rich custard, and another of shimmering lemon confit scattered with slices of lemon. It is mellow and barely sweet, rich and deep, with none of the attack of so many lemon desserts. Begin steeping the lemon slices the night before you're planning on baking the tart. This softens the rinds and coaxes out their bitterness.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
I've had plenty of bad pieces of pineapple upside-down cake — usually because the dough is too heavy or dry, and sometimes the overly shrill sweetness makes you want to quit living, at least for the length of time you are eating it. But properly prepared, this guilty pleasure is most welcomely retro, and in the recipe here, the cake, while not exactly dietetic, is not life-threatening either.
