Grapefruit Crumb Cake
Tiny bursts of juicy, tart grapefruit mitigate the richness of this moist crumb cake, topped with almond and brown sugar. You can substitute oranges, tangerines or other tangy fruit for the grapefruit; you’re looking for 1 1/2 cup fruit total. Just avoid anything too sweet (like blueberries, peaches and bing cherries). You need the acidity to balance out the sugary crumb topping. (If substituting other fruit, skip the sprinkling of salt.) If you don’t have a springform pan, use a regular 10-inch cake pan that’s at least 1 1/2-inches deep, then serve cake directly out of the pan instead of unmolding.
Razor Clam Ceviche
In 2011, razor clams were showing up on menus all over New York City. Some chefs steamed them, some served them with pasta, others decided they would be great in ceviches, as here. A shopping tip for razor clams: the thinner the better. Though the shells usually gape a bit, they should nearly close when touched. Razor clams are much more perishable than hard clams, but their shelf life can be extended by steaming them for use in salads later. Shaunna Sargent, the chef at Corsino restaurant in Manhattan, is among the chefs who froze the clams for a few hours to make the meat easier to remove and more tender. Regardless of whether they are raw or frozen, a paring knife is all that is needed to shuck them. Be sure to scrub the shells first in running water to remove any sand or grit.
Confit of Citrus Fruits
Roasted Grapefruit
In 2010, Sam Sifton, who was then The New York Times restaurant critic, made a list of the 15 best things he ate in New York City that year. For breakfast, he chose a dish from Pulino’s in SoHo, which is now closed. This quick-cooked grapefruit is not so much a dish as a magic trick, the fruit covered with a caramel of muscovado sugar and mint that transforms it into ambrosia.
Sicilian-Style Citrus Salad
Winter is the season when many kinds of citrus fruits suddenly appear. For this savory fruit salad, a mixture of navel, blood and Cara Cara oranges and a small grapefruit make a colorful display. It’s fine to use just one kind of orange, blood oranges being the classic example. Thinly sliced fennel, celery and red onion add a tasty bit of crunch. The salad is dressed assertively with oil and vinegar, and scattered with olives and flaky sea salt.
Grapefruit Granité
Alice Waters’s Grapefruit and Avocado Salad
This simple, refreshing salad from Alice Waters, the founder and owner of Chez Panisse, the legendary Berkeley restaurant, can be served as a first course or to revive the palate between the main course and dessert. It came to The Times in 2010 when the Well blog featured a number of recipes from “The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival Cookbook: Recipes and Behind-the-Scenes Stories from America’s Hottest Chefs."
Lemon and Blood Orange Gelée Parfaits
Inspired by a wonderful dessert in the pastry chef Sherry Yard’s “Desserts by the Yard,” this is a beautifully layered jello. First make the lemon gelée – even better if you have Meyer lemons at your disposal – and let it set in the glasses (this will take about an hour, so plan accordingly). Then make the blood orange jelly and pour on top of the lemon layer. The lemon layer is thinner than the blood orange layer.
Sautéed Fluke With Grapefruit Vinaigrette
Roasted Tomatoes and Whipped Feta on Toast
I love putting roasted tomatoes on toast with whipped feta, and it’s the easiest thing in the world. If you want to make it fancy for guests, try this recipe. I like to amaze them and cut the bread lengthwise into 1/2-inch slabs rather than across. Creative cutting will take you a long way in this world. A word about the cheese: Make sure you press the feta or it’ll have too much liquid in it to set up properly. If you’re really strapped for time, you can substitute fresh ricotta for the feta, but it’s not going to make your tomatoes pop quite as much.

Grapefruit Tart
Moroccan Semolina and Almond Cookies
Semolina flour gives these rather plain-looking but delicious cookies, adapted from "Dorie's Cookies" by Dorie Greenspan, a delightfully sandy texture. Almond flour makes them moist and rich, adding a gentle flavor and scent. If you don’t have almond flour, make your own by pulsing blanched almond slices in a food processor until they're finely ground. Just don’t over-process, or you’ll wind up with almond butter. And if you’re not a fan of orange blossom water, you can leave it out, or substitute rose water.
Citrus Salad With Peanuts and Avocado
There’s really no need for leafy greens in a big, meaty citrus salad. The first step is to acquire a range of fruit — citrus of different colors, sizes and shapes, with varied levels of acidity and sweetness. Cutting the fruit so you don’t lose too much juice is key: Cut the pith and peel with a knife, then slice the fruit horizontally with a sharp knife that doesn’t crush and squeeze. A simple dressing of fish sauce, sweetened with a little brown sugar, works well, especially when it’s offset with some fatty pieces of avocado and some fresh herbs.
Blood Orange, Grapefruit and Pomegranate Compote
This recipe was inspired by a blood-orange compote with caramel-citrus syrup developed by Deborah Madison, the author of “Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.” Here, the same caramel technique is used with the added benefit of a splash of port. It’s a brightly-flavored, refreshing dessert, and it keeps well for a couple of days.

Thin and Crisp Apple Tart
This French-style apple tart is topped with nothing but fruit and a squeeze of lemon juice. Make it with homemade rough puff pastry, or a store-bought sheet of puff pastry, and use a mandolin or a sharp knife to slice the apples finely, so they're almost see-through, then crowd the slices on the tart as closely as you can. Don't skip buttering and sugaring the parchment paper in the beginning, which gives the crust a touch of smoky caramel all along the bottom.
