California Rolls

The California roll at Yanagi Sushi in Honolulu has individual grains of soft rice; a fresh, fat hunk of perfectly ripe avocado; just a sliver of cucumber for aroma and freshness; and cooked snow crab, a sweet flurry of tender filaments bound by mayonnaise. This recipe, with its pristine proportions, comes from one of Yanagi’s founding sushi chefs, Tsutomu Nakayama, whose brother, Haruo, opened the restaurant in 1978, the same decade the California roll was invented.

Lowcountry Crab Rice

Lowcountry Crab Rice

Crab rice is a prized dish of the Gullah Geechee people of the Carolina Lowcountry, a region of the United States that is synonymous with seafood. “My kids beg for crab rice all the time,” says Sallie Ann Robinson, a Gullah chef and food historian, “and just like my mother did with us girls, I make them help me pick the crabs. We sit out on the porch or around the kitchen table, spread some newspapers, and go to pickin’. The more hands we’ve got, the sooner we’re ready to cook.” Tender lump crab meat gives you sweetness in every bite of rice, mingling with the zesty lemon and the aromatic flavor of onion and celery. Traditional versions of this recipe often include bacon, but this recipe, from my cookbook “The Simple Art of Rice” (Flatiron Books, 2023) calls for smoky Creole seasoning. Carolina Gold rice is the classic choice for this dish: Because of its high starch content, this fluffy rice sticks to the crab and absorbs all the flavors beautifully.

Cranberry Pecan Cookie Bars

Soft and buttery pecans and cranberries are a perfect pair in these low-effort cookie bars. Packed with dark brown sugar and browned butter, they have a depth of flavor that you may not expect at first glance. You could make these bars with untoasted pecans, but it’s worth it to seek out the toasted kind at the store or take the extra time to toast them yourself for deeper flavor. Try popping them in the oven while it preheats until they’re fragrant, for richer results.

Buttery caramelized apples are sandwiched between toasty oat crumble in this warmly spiced cake. The cake is plush and soft, the apples melt into a gorgeously gooey layer, and the crumble adds crispy texture and toasty buttery flavor. Don’t let the ingredient list dissuade you, as each element comes together quickly and easily, without any special equipment or tools. A slice of this cake is equally at home at the brunch table, with a hot cup of coffee, or as dessert, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Use tart, firm apples to ensure they keep a bit of a bite after they’re baked.
