Leek and Cardamom Fritters
These leek fritters from Yotam Ottolenghi were featured in a Times Magazine article in 2011, and they are absolutely delicious, an easy answer to anyone asking for a vegetarian main dish. They’re somehow both ultratender and wonderfully crisp, sweet from the caramelized leeks and bright and riotously flavorful thanks to the abundance of herbs. You can substitute onions if leeks are unavailable. But try for leeks.

Savory Potato Tart
We all love a rich, creamy French potato gratin, but for a special occasion, or just for fun, make this version, which is encased in buttery flaky pastry so the gratin becomes a savory tart. Serve a small slice alongside roasted meats, or a larger portion for a vegetarian lunch, accompanied by a green salad. If you want to make it a few hours ahead, or even a day before, it reheats beautifully.

Fluke Crudo With Lime, Sea Salt and Olive Oil
Dave Pasternack, the chef at Esca in New York, has a few tips for preparing crudo. Tell your fishmonger that the fish you’re buying is to be served raw. You want fresh-filleted fish, not something that is already cut. Then, once you have your fillet, take it home, chill it and then slice it. When you are ready to serve it, get ready for the easiest recipe on earth. Sprinkle the fish with lime juice, coarse sea salt and the best olive oil you can find. That’s it. You have a sophisticated plate of food that took you no time at all. Pair the dish with a chilled Sancerre and see if you don’t relish in your good fortune.
