Spiced Lamb Loaf

Stir-Fried Lettuce With Seared Tofu and Red Pepper
Stir-frying is a great way to use up your overabundance of lettuce. This recipe calls for romaine, but you can try it with whatever you have on hand, as long as it’s sturdy enough to stand up to some heat. In China, where lettuce symbolizes prosperity and wealth, a simpler dish made with the lettuce only is served at New Year’s.

Cinnamon Curry Rice

Bok-Choy-and-Radish Coleslaw

Cole Slaw

Allergy-Friendly Cookies
For a family with a child with allergies to milk, eggs and nuts, having a go-to recipe for a safe treat is especially important. These cookies allow the writer Curtis Sittenfeld and her family to feel a sense of control over what they eat together. And they look like regular chocolate chip cookies – an advantage for kids frustrated by needing to have special foods.

Broccoli Stem and Red Pepper Slaw
I never throw out broccoli stems. If I don’t use them for pickles or stir-fries, I’ll shred them and use them in a delicious slaw like this one.

Shredded Beet and Radish Slaw With Rice Noodles
I intended this mixture as a filling for spring rolls, and you can certainly use it this way (though it’s a bit moist). But having mixed it together I tasted it and it was so good, I just wanted to sit down and eat it for dinner, which is what I did – and for lunch the following day. If you do want to wrap this salad, I suggest wrapping it in romaine lettuce leaves.

Ruby Coleslaw

Cellophane Noodle Salad With Cabbage
This incredibly refreshing salad is loosely based on a recipe for a Thai cellophane noodle salad in Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid’s “Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet.” The authentic recipe includes more garlic and chiles as well as dried shrimp. Make sure to cut up the noodles before you try to toss them with the other ingredients.

Curry Coleslaw

Easy Roast Duck
Duck is so difficult to roast badly that all experienced cooks seem to claim their procedure is the best. Having tried many methods, I can say that the results are all about the same. So I chose the one presented here, which is the easiest way to guarantee a succulent but beautifully browned bird.

Crunchy Vietnamese Cabbage Salad With Pan-Seared Tofu
Cabbages are the quintessential storage vegetable. You can cut a cabbage in quarters or thirds and use one piece at a time. The other hunks will keep, wrapped well in the vegetable crisper, for at least two weeks, and potentially a lot longer if you mist them with water every once in a while. That means you can buy one large cabbage and use it several times for different recipes, experiencing the deceptively versatile vegetable many ways. Fried tofu turns this Vietnamese-inspired slaw into more of a meal.

Fried Winter Squash With Mint
In Sicily this dish, which I find to be irresistible as a side dish and a snack, is served both hot and at room temperature. If you make it for Thanksgiving and don’t want to be in the kitchen frying squash at the last minute, opt for the room-temperature version. Or fry the squash ahead of time and warm in a low oven. The recipe works equally well with butternut and starchier squash like kabocha.

Pork Chops Smothered With Fennel And Garlic

Lamb With Sichuan Pepper And Orange

Zarela Martinez's Ropa Vieja
Sometimes the most humble ingredients make for the finest of meals, as Regina Schrambling wrote in 1988. Growing up in a tiny Arizona town among many Mexican neighbors, Ms. Schrambling learned early on of the rich flavors that can be coaxed from the simplest food. This ropa vieja, from the chef Zarela Martinez, embodies that philosophy. Garlic and peppercorns infuse a flank steak with flavor, which is then cooked shortly with a mixture of sautéed garlic, onions and poblano peppers. Hot, tucked into a tortilla, it’s a testament to the power of a long cook.

Spicy Celery With Garlic

Roast Loin Of Pork With Southwestern Sauce

Dark Chocolate Mint Sorbet
When I dream about the decade-plus I spent living in Paris, there’s often a dessert involved. Specifically, it’s the luxurious chocolate mint sorbet that I used to order every time I splurged on one of my favorite restaurants, the Michelin-starred Au Trou Gascon. It has the thrill and depth of any dark chocolate dessert, but with a light, refreshing quality. This is my version, and it couldn’t be simpler.

Pasta With Smoked Mussels And Tomatoes

Spaghettini With Spicy Lentil Sauce

Shrimp Gumbo with Andouille Sausage
Most cooks agree that gumbos must have the vegetable trinity of chopped bell pepper, onion and celery, and that they should be highly seasoned. Some gumbos do contain sausage, shrimp and chicken, but there are humbler ones that are made with only salt pork, onions and greens. Finally, there is the filé powder camp. These cooks use copious amounts of the stuff, which is made from finely powdered sassafras leaves. Added at the last minute, it thickens the soup while imparting a flavor that’s earthy and herbal. I confess to using all three — a roux, okra and filé powder — in my own gumbo, which I hope is not sacrilegious. Not having grown up in gumbo territory, I based mine on a number of visits to New Orleans.
