Berry Clafoutis With Crème Fraîche

This is an easy, impressive dessert that will take about 20 minutes to assemble and will make your kitchen smell heavenly. The recipe, adapted from “Inspired by Ingredients” by Bill Telepan and Andrew Friedman, asks you to whisk all your ingredients together in one bowl and then layer the batter with your clean berries in a buttered pan. Bake it for about 25 minutes, and you have a sweet finish to dinner.

Pear Vanilla Sorbet

Pear sorbet has always been a favorite of mine. Wait until your pears are nice and ripe, for maximum flavor. I keep my pears in a brown paper bag with an apple to speed this process along. The pear and vanilla combo is heavenly.

Chocolate-Covered Cherries

Here is a recipe that came to The Times from the kitchen of Laura Cunningham, the novelist and memoir writer. It calls for but two ingredients and 10 minutes of your time, and results in a delicious, romantic and extremely simple grace note to any meal. Be forewarned: the cherries aren’t pitted. It’s like a metaphor -- for dating certainly, and maybe for life.

Pears Poached in Red Wine and Cassis

A classic French dessert with liqueur that adds a deep berry essence. Wine-poached pears make fora classic French dessert. I like to add a little crème de cassis liqueur to the wine, along with honey, vanilla and cinnamon. The cassis, made from black currants,adds a deep berry essence to the syrupy wine. You can serve these pears warm or chilled. The poached pears will keep well for a couple of days in the refrigerator. The pears will continue to soften.

Buttermilk Marble Cake

You get the best of both worlds with this tender and moist cake adapted from a version that was served at the 76th birthday of Edna Lewis, the legendary Southern chef. It is quite simple to put together as far as cakes go, and the cream cheese chocolate frosting is a revelation.

Cherry Bread Pudding

This is inspired by a recipe by the French baker Jacquy Pfeiffer, whose French Pastry School in Chicago is the only school of its kind in the country. Jacquy’s recipe, called a bettelmann, is a traditional Alsatian dish made with day-old brioche. This version, made with regular or whole-wheat bread, is not as rich.
