Almost-From-Scratch Corn Tortillas

Here is a relatively easy project that can deliver what may be the best tortillas you’ve ever had: Masa harina mixed with water and a little fat, left to rest for a while, then pressed and griddled. The recipe makes 12 to 16, enough for a taco party.

Chipotle Gazpacho

Chipotle contributes heat and smoke to this beautiful blender gazpacho.I love the smoky heat of chipotles in this gazpacho. Cucumber and avocado are garnishes that are both cooling and soothing.

Parmesan Crackers

These are dainty little cheese crackers with a pungent, meaty, Parmesan edge. It is that extra step of browning the crackers in a hot oven that lends them so much character. It caramelizes the cheese, giving it an earthy, almost porcinilike intensity. That and using good Parmigiano-Reggiano are the secrets to success. The technique, no rolling pin necessary, is child's play. The result is resolutely adult -- especially when you serve them with wine.

Summer Squash, Tahini and Yogurt Dip

Just when I thought I would never find anything new to do with the two small summer squash that were lingering in my refrigerator I came across this dish in Paula Wolfert’s book “The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean.” A simple combination of cooked squash, drained yogurt, garlic and tahini, it’s another example of how you can make yogurt dips with just about any vegetable.

Creamed-Mushroom Bruschetta With Caramelized Onions

Start by making the caramelized onions. These take a great deal of time. The onions here, barely slicked with neutral oil, surrounded by sweet wine, can take up to 30 minutes to achieve the excellence you are looking for. You stir and stir and stir.

Blender Gazpacho With Celery, Carrot, Cucumber and Red Pepper

Blender Gazpacho With Celery, Carrot, Cucumber and Red Pepper

In a classic gazpacho all of these vegetables except the tomatoes are cut into fine dice and served as accompaniments to the puréed tomato base. In this version, I blend everything together into what is essentially a tangy, pungent vegetable smoothie. You can serve this in glasses or in bowls. I like the tarragon garnish.

Gazpacho sans Bread

The base for this gazpacho is almost classic. It differs from traditional Andalusian gazpacho only in that it contains no bread, which is what gives the authentic dish its unique texture. But the flavor is the same – ripe tomato blended with vinegar, onion, garlic, and olive oil. Keep it in a pitcher in the refrigerator and enjoy a few days of soup.
