Lemon Bundt Cake With Poppy Seeds
Because this is made with whole wheat flour and honey it doesn’t look like most white fluffy poppy seed cakes; it’s dark and golden, with a wonderful moist texture plus the slight crunch of the poppy seeds (which are another good luck food, at least in Poland). The formula is much the same as the one I used for my walnut apricot Bundt cake modeled on Peter Reinhart’s formulas for quick breads and muffins, with ricotta standing in for some of the buttermilk.
Sesame Braised Chicken With Scallions, Daikon and Mushrooms
On a search for a nontraditional take on chicken in a pot in 2012, Melissa Clark was hoping for something that avoided the flavors and “seasonings inherent in Continental cuisine” — white wine, leeks, bacon. She found an answer in this recipe, which relies on dry sherry, soy sauce and star-anise-infused sesame oil as its braising liquid. Daikon and shiitake mushrooms soak up the liquid and soften under its weight. Be sure to brown the bird, too. It won't crisp the skin, but it does add depth of flavor.

Paella With Shrimp and Fava Beans
“Sometimes the simplest paellas can be the most satisfying,” David Tanis wrote in 2012, when bringing this recipe to The Times. Here, fresh, wild-caught shrimp are peeled and deveined, the shells saved for a broth to flavor the rice (though a chicken broth can also be used, if you’re short on time). The shrimp is then marinated, and cooked separately, layered over a bed of rice, fava beans and chorizo.
Fish Martinique
Muddle
Muddle is one of the oldest dishes of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and this version is from the chef Bill Neal of Crook’s Corner in Chapel Hill, N.C. “Muddle,” he told The Times in 1985, “originated with the first settlers, and the name means ‘a mass of fish.’”
Chicken With Ginger
Jook
I first encountered jook, also known as congee, in Hong Kong at dawn after a very long night. I was steered to an anonymous little place, where, I am quite sure, I was not the only person with a headache. It was there that I discovered that this savory Chinese rice porridge was among the world's best breakfasts, especially after a night of indulgence. It is transcendent stuff. You might think of it as Chinese risotto, though infinitely less pretentious. It is delightfully creamy, forgiving in its preparation and variable beyond belief.
Chickpeas and Pita Casserole
There are a number of Middle Eastern preparations made with stale pita or flat bread, also known as fatta. They are comforting dishes, especially this layered casserole made with pita, chickpeas and broth, and garlicky thickened yogurt.
Grilled Shrimp and Eggplant With Fish Sauce and Mint
The nuoc mam brings out the saline character of the shrimp and seems to heighten the sweetness of the eggplant, while the garlic adds its sharp bite, and the mint a cool freshness.
Fluke in Lemon Brodetto With Scallops and Squash
“The Babbo Cookbook,” by Mario Batali, was published in 2002. Within two years I had made every recipe in it at least once, and by 2005 or so I was adapting the dishes to the ingredients I found at the market, instead of the other way around. Take the restaurant’s black bass served in a lemony capon stock with Hubbard squash and delicate shell-on bay scallops from Taylor Shellfish Farms, in Washington State. There is no need to make the dish with black bass, Hubbard squash or Taylor bay scallops, much less capon broth. I use use fluke but any firm-fleshed white fish will do. Hubbard squash is a dream, but butternut squash works beautifully in its stead. As does chicken stock instead of the capon. And swapping out the farmed bay scallops for the deeper salinity of wild ones, or for small ocean scallops, is no crime. The most important thing is to locate thin-skinned lemons for the brodetto, since the thick ones impart a bitterness to the sauce that is not magical. If all you have is thick-skinned lemons, take a moment to cut out the white pith beneath the skin, which is the bitter culprit.
Paupiettes Of Sole With Spinach And Mushroom Stuffing
Warm White Bean and Shrimp Salad With Lime Vinaigrette
Avocado Fattoush With Mint Vinaigrette
The crunchy, juicy salad known in the Middle East as fattoush is just one of the region’s many thrifty and tasty uses for day-old or dried-out bread. Stale bread is better than fresh for some dishes because it will absorb more liquid, such as the juices from a ripe tomato or — in this recipe — a lively dressing with mint leaves, lemon juice and a bit of honey to smooth out the flavors. The Israeli-American chef Einat Admony, who created this rewrite of the classic, took the radical step of leaving out the tomato and adding avocado, a very American ingredient. To make the bread shards very crisp, toast and let cool before breaking. To make them more luxurious, tear up the bread and toast it in a hot skillet with a few tablespoons of olive oil, butter, or both.
