Tomato And Tapenade Salad

Michael Romano's Rhubarb Chutney

Seaweed Salad With Cucumber

Roasted Beets With Pine Nuts and Parmesan

Langoustines With Oysters and Seaweed

Grilled Tuna With Herbs and Olives
Here, grilled tuna is smothered with a mixture of flavorful herbs, made more potent by the addition of chopped olives and a little raw garlic. A mix of parsley, basil, chives, chervil and marjoram, for example, would be splendid, as would one of cilantro, mint and basil. (I would rule out only thyme, tarragon and rosemary, unless you use them in minuscule quantities.) If you don't have a grill, many readers have baked it at 425 and been happy with the results.

Roasted-Beet Salad With Goat Cheese and Walnuts

Gin: Tom Collins

Parmesan Cups With Orzo 'risotto'

Penne with Ricotta and Peas

Gin: Southside Fizz
The fizz comes from the soda. The buzz comes from the gin. The cool comes from the muddled mint.

Chicken Kebab, Turkish Style

Ale, Cheddar and Cauliflower Soup

Pumpkin Risotto Con la Zucca

Crustless ‘Quiche’
I suppose crustless quiche is a contradiction in terms, like seared ceviche. But if, like me, you sometimes crave what amounts to savory pie filling without the hassle of making an actual crust, this is the way to go. Once you take the crust out of the quiche you not only radically alter the concept but expand its possibilities. You can produce a “quiche” Lorraine by softening onions (lots) in butter or bacon fat, then adding eggs, cooked bacon and cream or half-and-half, and baking it all as you do in the recipe here.

Fast Late-Summer Jams
These quick jams are not preserves. They don't keep for months. But they don't have to, because they'll be gone long before they begin to spoil. Here are a few fast ways to hold on to the flavors of summer. The fig jam is good spread on toast, but also when served as a kind of chutney beside grilled meats. The peach or nectarine variation will add an ambrosial depth to your toast. And the blueberry jam? Its canvas is ice cream, or hot pancakes. In any case, use your spices sparingly, and let the fruit shine.

Cold Tomato Soup With Rosemary

Turkish Fruit Butter

Ultrafast Avocado Soup
Little or no cooking is one way to keep the kitchen cool in the summer, but if the food you produce is cool (and delicious, of course), that’s a real plus. Cold soups are a common solution. It’s difficult to imagine one simpler than this one, and impossible to imagine one richer and creamier.

Corn and Crab Cakes

Barley ‘Risotto’ With Turkey and Mushrooms

Pasta With Sardines, Bread Crumbs and Capers
This quick and easy version of the classic Sicilian pasta dish comes together in about 20 minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and fridge. You can pick up anything you're missing at the corner deli.

Bok Choy With Shiitakes

Crisp-Braised Duck Legs with Aromatic Vegetables
Crisp braised duck legs with vegetables is a simple, luxurious dish. You brown the duck until the skin is crackly and golden. You cook the vegetables in some of the rendered fat until they start to soften, then you add chicken stock and cook everything together in the oven until the duck is tender and super-crisp and the vegetables are melting and unctuous. Do not feel bound to the carrots, celery and onion called for in the recipe. Any number of root vegetables – infused with the rendered fat – would be incredible here.
