Whole Wheat Focaccia with Cherry Tomatoes and Olives
Even in mid-September, you can find sweet cherry tomatoes, and they look beautiful in abundance on the top of this focaccia. I combined them with black olives for a bread that transports me to Provençe.
Onion Soup Gratinée With Cider
Tacos With Summer Squash, Tomatoes and Beans
Beans such as pintos, even out of a can, add substance to this summery taco filling. Goat cheese provides a creamy, rich finish.
Chocolate Straws
Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi
You think you know what gnocchi are: small, fork-tine-indented potato dumplings served with pesto or tomato sauce. They’re starchy, thick and filling, and rarely made well enough at home to justify the work. But gnocchi don’t have to be only that. “Gnocco” translates literally as “lump” (nice, huh?) and is a colloquial word for dumpling; gnocchi can be made out of semolina, cornmeal, spinach, even bread crumbs. One of my favorites: ricotta gnocchi, which is just as authentic as its potato relative, but lighter in texture and much easier to make.
Whole Wheat Focaccia with Peppers and Eggplant
I first made this because I had a festival of leftovers in my refrigerator – sautéed peppers with tomato and onion, and roasted eggplant. The combination made a delicious, typically Mediterranean topping. The peppers would suffice, but it’s even better with the eggplant. You can use one type of bell pepper or a mix, and if you want some heat, add a hot one.
Focaccia With Cauliflower and Sage
I love to roast cauliflower on its own, so I decided to roast it, along with fresh sage leaves, on top of focaccia.

Moroccan Carrot Dip
This vegan dip from America's Test Kitchen has a bright, spiced flavor that goes beautifully with pita chips. To retain the appealing, brilliant orange color, be careful not to brown the carrots when cooking them.
Tiger Shrimp With Pineapple and Smoked Bacon
Risotto With Broccoli
Sometimes I get bored with broccoli — but then I use it in a risotto, and it’s like a completely new vegetable. The diced stems retain a nice texture that contrasts with the tender flowers. Make sure to slice the flowers thin for the most delicate results.

Pâte à Choux for Cheese Puffs and Cream Puffs
Making pâte à choux is not difficult at all. It is simply a matter of bringing water and butter to a boil, then dumping in flour and stirring it until a mass forms, which takes only a minute or two. You let the steaming dough cool for a moment, then beat in a few eggs, one at a time. That’s it.
