Grilled Chicken With Tomatillo Sauce
Winter Squash and Wild Mushroom Curry
This is comfort food, Indian-style, adapted from a recipe by Madhur Jaffrey. It’s also vegan, and perfect for a fall evening. Use a mixture of cultivated mushrooms; they come in all shapes and sizes. Look for royal trumpets, a large, meaty type of oyster mushroom; shiitakes, and small portobellos. Use some wild mushrooms too, if you can, like golden chanterelles, lobster or hen of the woods. You can make this as spicy as you wish, but be sure to include some cayenne and green chile, to complement and play off the creamy coconut milk sauce. Serve with basmati rice, rice noodles or mashed potatoes.
Fried Fish With Fried Ginger
Arugula Salad With Peaches, Goat Cheese and Basil
This simple, quintessential summer salad is a reminder that seasonal ingredients at their very best don’t need much fussing (or much cooking at all, in this case). Here, peppery arugula and earthy goat cheese get brightened with juicy summer peaches, but the recipe can be tweaked to suit all seasons: If you can’t find ripe peaches, you can use cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries or even cherry tomatoes in their place.
Igor's Tuscan Grilled Chicken
Korean Chilled Buckwheat Noodles With Chilled Broth and Kimchi
This recipe is inspired by the signature Korean summer noodle dish, naeng myung. The traditional dish is made with a strong beef broth. I’m using a vegetarian broth I make with dried mushrooms and kelp, adapted from a recipe in Deborah Madison’s “Vegetarian Cooking for Everybody.” You could also use chicken stock. The dish can include chicken or meat, or it can be vegetarian, as this version is, with tofu standing in for chicken. It can also be vegan if you omit the boiled eggs. Make the broth a day ahead so that it will be nice and cold.
Mushrooms on Toast
Beloved by British and other Anglophone cooks, mushrooms on toast is a hearty savory dish that can be made quickly. It’s cheap and delicious if you use ordinary cultivated mushrooms, and suitable for any time of day: breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner or late snack. One pound of mushrooms is just right for two servings.
Grilled Chicken Thighs With Sauce Au Chien
Roast Chicken Vermentino
This rich, delicious roast uses the broth from rehydrated mushrooms for extra flavor. Porcinis aren’t a necessity, but pick some up if you can. You’ll be glad you did. Pair this with a nice salad and the leftover wine for an excellent evening.
BBQ Chicken and Mushroom Tostadas
This recipe offers a novel way to create chips. When corn tortillas are toasted in the oven, they get hard, not crispy. When they are toasted in the microwave, they get that crispy snap. This method requires a little patience: Zap a tortilla for a minute and it will be soggy, even wet, on the bottom. Flip it over and zap it again, and all the moisture will be gone. Sometimes it takes a few turns, as every microwave is different. Watch closely, though, as they tortillas burn quickly once dry.
Chicken Breast With Sweet-And-Sour Sherry Sauce
Cod and Kimchi Stew
Kimchi is a seriously versatile kitchen staple because it’s packed with so many flavors and textures. It’s great chopped and folded into mayonnaise, cooked with your favorite taco filling or stirred in to sauces and soups. In this recipe, which is inspired by kimchi jjigae, kimchi takes center stage as the base for an umami-rich broth. Once cooked, the kimchi is tender and provides a counterpoint to perfectly poached cod. For a heartier meal, serve it over steamed rice and top it with a fried egg.
Georgian Chicken in Pomegranate and Tamarind Sauce
This dish, adapted from "The Essential Book of Jewish Festival Cooking," brings an unusual sweet flavor to the Rosh Hashana table. Tamarind paste and pomegranate seeds are readily available at larger supermarkets, and always online.
Snapper Fillets Provencal Style
Pastel (Israeli Spiced Meat Pie)
This gently spiced beef pie, adapted from the “Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking” by the chef Michael Solomonov, is scented with cinnamon, dill and parsley. The recipe calls for purchased puff pastry, which makes it extremely simple to make yet wonderfully rich to eat. Leftovers will last for a few days in the refrigerator. Reheat at 350 degrees before serving.
Tongdak Gui (Whole Roasted Chicken)
This recipe draws inspiration from the old-fashioned rotisserie chickens sold along Seoul’s streets in the 1970s — before Korean fried chicken entered the scene in the next decade. Cornish game hens are an excellent substitute for the smaller, younger birds often used in South Korea for this succulent poultry dish. A simple soy-sauce brine, made even more fragrant with ground white pepper, ensures inimitably juicy, tender meat that, after roasting in the oven for an hour, truly falls off the bone. A nod to pa dak (“scallion chicken”), an early-2000s trend in which shaved scallions were served atop fried chicken to cut the fattiness, this recipe calls for lightly dressed scallions for a verdant counterpoint.
Pesce in Saor (Venetian marinated fish)
Todd Richards’s Grilled Peach Toast With Spicy Pimento Cheese
Pimento cheese is a Southern classic, but the combination of spicy, smoky pimento cheese — spiked with bacon and the adobo that comes in a can of chipotle chiles — and sweet, juicy peaches could only come from the mind of a chef. Todd Richards of Richards’ Southern Fried in Atlanta’s Krog Street Market and the author of “Soul: A Chef’s Culinary Evolution in 150 Recipes” (Oxmoor House, 2018) calls this his ideal summer breakfast, “along with a glass of champagne.” If you don’t want to use a grill, just toast the bread and use the peaches freshly sliced.
Turkish Pumpkin Soup
This is an intriguingly sweet winter squash soup, based on a recipe by Ghillie Basan from her wonderful book, “Classic Turkish Cooking.” The sweetness comes from the squash itself and the allspice and cinnamon, with the addition of only a teaspoon of honey or sugar. The sour and spicy yogurt and chile garnish make a great flavor contrast.
Spaghetti With Clams
For me, spaghetti with clams has to be ''white,'' which is to say without a tomato in sight -- and actually the first time I ate it this way was not in Italy but in one of my favorite Italian restaurants in New York, Da Silvano. This was a very long time ago, and I've been hooked ever since. I have specified amounts for a single portion here, because I feel cooking food you love is never something that should be reserved for company. Besides, this is quick and easy to make, and it's important sometimes to give yourself the treat of the perfect supper alone.
Farro Salad
Farro, an ancient grain, has long been a common ingredient in Italy, but it is now gaining in popularity in the United States. You can use farro to make a type of risotto or in soups, but dressed with a lemony vinaigrette, it makes a lovely grain salad, enhanced by a variety of green vegetables.
Roasted Bacon-Wrapped Rabbit
Burned Toast Soup
The cookbook author Jennifer McLagan developed this recipe for a simple toast soup, a rustic dish that stretches leftover bread into a comforting meal, after tasting an upscale version of it at a restaurant in Paris. She includes it in her 2014 cookbook, "Bitter: A Taste of the World's Most Dangerous Flavor." The recipe requires thorough and severe toasting: The bread should turn black along its edges and deep brown all over. Use thickly sliced bread, so it's not carbonized all the way through, and the ratio of burned bread to deeply toasted bread will work in your favor. Once the bread soaks up the bacon-infused stock and is blitzed with milk and mustard, all of its intense, smoky flavor will mellow.
Mussel Pizza
One bite of this and I’m transported to a seaside town in Italy or Provence. Keep some dough in the freezer and you can make this very quickly.
