Chinese Fried Rice With Shrimp and Peas
This is a more subdued version of fried rice than the spicier Thai fried rice. It’s a great dish to make if you have cooked rice on hand and a great vehicle for whatever vegetables may be in your refrigerator. Feel free to add other cooked vegetables, meat or seafood.
Olive Oil Granola With Dried Apricots and Pistachios
The secret weapon in this addictive granola is, yes, olive oil, which gives the oats and coconut chips a wonderful crispy bite. Make sure to add the fruit after baking (putting it in the oven will dry it out), and feel free to improvise: swap out the apricots for dried cherries, the pistachios for walnuts, the cardamom for a little nutmeg. But double the batch. You won’t want to run out.
Mexican Chicken Soup With Chick Peas, Avocado and Chipotles
This is inspired by a traditional Mexican soup called sopa tlalpeño. The chipotles, added shortly before serving, infuse the soup with a smoky, picante flavor. Cook the chicken breasts a day ahead, and use the broth for the soup. Once the chicken is cooked, the soup is quickly thrown together.
West African Peanut Soup With Chicken
This West African soup is about as different from a traditional European chicken-in-a-pot soup as you can get, flavored with ginger, garlic and chiles (sounds Chinese, yes?), and incorporating vegetables like sweet potatoes and kale. Then of course there are the peanuts. When it comes to the peanut butter, “natural” peanut butter, made from peanuts and salt and nothing else, works best. Chunky or creamy? It doesn’t matter much. Finally, it’s nice to time the cooking so that the sweet potatoes do not quite fall apart.
Thai Laab Gai (Chicken With Lime, Chili and Fresh Herbs)
Laab gai is a dish of browned ground chicken, mint, basil and red onions dressed with lime juice and ground red chiles that's popular in Laos and Isan, neighboring rural sections of Thailand. (The dish is sometimes spelled larb, lob or lop.) It's perfect hot weather food: spicy, crunchy and light, but rich in flavors and contrasts. Traditionally, this dish is made with a roasted rice powder that's prepared by toasting raw rice in a wok, then grounding it to a powder, but you can find premade roasted rice powder at Asian markets. Whatever you do, don't skip it — it adds a nuttiness that's essential to the authentic flavor of the dish.
Southeast Asian Mussel Salad
Guacamole With Toasted Cumin
Everybody loves guacamole, and everyone has an opinion as to what an authentic guacamole should be. I leave it up to you whether to add onion and chile — but please don’t make it in a food processor. Guacamole should have texture; use a fork or a mortar and pestle to mash the avocados.
Soft Tacos With Scrambled Tofu and Tomatoes
Soft tofu makes a wonderful stand-in for scrambled eggs. Serve these savory tacos for a great Mexican and vegan breakfast.
Spring Lamb and Flageolets With Fay’s Relish
Fergus Henderson’s Trotter Gear
Trotter gear? The British chef Fergus Henderson calls it that – an unctuous and shockingly delicious jellied broth made from pigs’ feet, vegetables and Madeira that imparts an intensely flavorful, lip-sticking quality to any stew or soup to which it is added. He gave The Times the recipe in 2009. It is project cooking at its most exciting and slightly ridiculous – a four- or five-hour process that yields 6 or so cups of glory to punch up any recipe for beans that you have on hand, elevate a beef-and-Guinness pie to extraordinary heights, make fantastic an otherwise benign casserole of baked chicken thighs. Friends and family will ask: What’s the secret ingredient? Say nothing until well after all the plates are cleared.
Chickpeas With Baby Spinach
This is mostly a pantry dish, very quick to put together. You can serve it on its own, with couscous or pasta, or over a thick slice of toasted bread rubbed with garlic.
Green Pipian
This classic Mexican pumpkin seed sauce, also known as green mole, is tangy, herbal and spicy all at the same time. Serve it with poached or pan-cooked chicken breasts, fish (it’s very pretty with salmon), or shrimp. You can bathe grilled vegetables with it, or serve it with white beans and steamed or poached vegetables. Hulled untoasted pumpkin seeds are available in many whole foods stores and Mexican markets.
Malaysian Stir-Fried Noodles With Shrimp
These spicy noodles are based on a classic Malaysian noodle dish, Mee Goreng, but I’ve reduced the number of ingredients. With origins in North India, the dish lends itself well to the Indian Papadini bean flour noodles, which have more protein, ounce for ounce, than steak. If you can’t find this type of noodle, use wide dried rice noodles: soak them for 20 minutes in warm water, then cook 1 minute in boiling water, drain and toss with 1 tablespoon oil as directed.
Octopus, Galician Style
Grilled Chicken Wings With Provençal Flavors
Like most chicken parts, wings are best grilled in two stages. Start them over indirect heat, away from the hottest part of the grill. Cook them there, more or less undisturbed, until most of their fat is rendered and they’re just about cooked through. This takes only 10 or 15 minutes, especially if you cut the wings into sections first (more on this in a second). At this point they’ll be pale and not especially appetizing, but move them over to the hot part of the grill, brown them under a watchful eye, and they’ll turn gorgeous.

Eggplant and Chickpea Stew
Beef Stew With Sweet and Hot Paprika
After a tasting session focusing on Priorat wines back in 2005, Florence Fabricant was looking for a meal pairing that could stand up to the wines’ heft. She found what she was looking for in a beef stew featured in "Italian Slow and Savory" by Joyce Goldstein. She adapted it by swapping the stew meat for short ribs, and cooking it in a Dutch oven or heavy casserole, but if a tagine is available to you, that also works. “If you use a tagine for the recipe, it must be a large one, about 17 inches in diameter,” Florence writes. “For a smaller one, 12 to 14 inches, you can make the dish to serve four, reducing the quantities of ingredients by one-third.”
Tamarind and Pomegranate Granitas
Scallop-and-Halibut Ceviche Salad
This recipe came to The Times from Fanny Singer, the daughter of Alice Waters, the chef and food activist. It’s inspired by Ms. Singer’s favorite street food. Ceviche is almost always so astringent that the fish loses identity, but the freshness of the ingredients and softness of the lime marinade here are neither confrontational nor eye-squinching. It’s simple stuff: avocado, grapefruit, prickly chile, cilantro, lime and an absolutely fresh sea creature. Making the dish takes a bit of work, but it’s the perfect recipe for when you don’t want to turn on the stove.
