Bolzano Apple Cake
A classic northern Italian peasant cake, this dish's fabulous flavors belie its simplicity.
Pistachio Sauce For Strawberries
Sicilian Stuffed Tomatoes
This is an easy stuffed tomato recipe, based on one in Carlo Middione’s book "The Food of Southern Italy." If salt isn’t an issue for you and you want an even more robust flavor, use more anchovies.
Striped Bass all’Amatriciana
The robust amatriciana sauce that so beautifully complements the baked fish in this dish is never made with fresh tomatoes; using canned tomatoes greatly simplifies the recipe and reduces the cooking time. The bright flavors of striped bass make it especially nice for summer entertaining, but prepare it with any firm white fish you prefer, and use parsley when basil is out of season.
Pan-Fried Baby Artichokes With Gremolata
Here is an appetizer course to beat the band. Baby artichokes dipped in seasoned flour, fried and served with a gremolata of parsley, garlic, lemon zest, orange zest and capers. Snap off a few of the tough, dark exterior leaves of the little artichokes until the pale green centers are visible. Then cut a half-inch or so off the tops of each artichoke and trim the stem end with a paring knife. Cut them lengthwise into halves or quarters and put them in a bowl of water with a good squeeze of lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown. This can be done an hour or two before cooking. Use olive oil to fry them if you’re feeling extravagant, or a frugal combination of olive and vegetable oils.

Orange Jelly
Sam Bompas and Harry Parr call what they do “contemporary food design,” among other things. Their projects include building painstakingly correct models of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London and a Madrid airport terminal out of jelly. This recipe was used as part of the pair’s first job in the United States. It was paired with Campari jelly, and the dessert they made for a 2009 dinner in New York tasted something like a Campari and soda in jelly form.
Potato, Sage and Lemon Zest Focaccia
There are a lot of focaccia styles out there. There are thick and fluffy ones, loaded with toppings, and crispy, oily ones with a minimalist sprinkle of salt. Then there’s everything in between. I decided to stick to this middle ground and bake up something that had crisp edges while still being light and soft in the center. Baking the focaccia in a cake pan, a trick I learned from the Los Angeles chef Nancy Silverton, does just that. It encourages the exterior of the loaf to turn crunchy as it absorbs heat from the sides of the pan, while allowing the dough to rise nicely in the middle. A cake pan also made for a nice-looking, gently domed loaf, more evenly shaped than the flatter, hand-pressed focaccias I’ve made in the past.
Smoked Ricotta
At Quince in San Francisco, Michael Tusk, the chef, smokes fresh ricotta over fruitwood and spices until it's lightly browned and crumbly. If you have a stove-top smoker, this is the time to use it, but you can improvise using a wok, a round baking rack and a vegetable steamer. (Fruitwood chips are available at barbecuewood.com.)
