Mushrooms and Dumplings
This hearty vegetarian riff on chicken and dumplings uses meaty fresh mushrooms and concentrated dried mushrooms to quickly build layers of rich flavor. Dried shiitakes, normally rehydrated before using, are grated into a fine powder that dissolves and fortifies the broth with intense mushroom umami. Make the dumpling mixture while the stew cooks and allow it to rest in the fridge for more tender dumplings. Once simmered, they emerge light and spongy on the outside, and slightly chewy on the inside. To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter.
Herb Mayonnaise (Sauce fines herbes)
Kimchi Noodle Cake
This savory pan-fried noodle cake made with rice noodles (or leftover cooked spaghetti) packs a lot of flavor with just a few ingredients, ideal for a quick breakfast or lunch. The mixture can be assembled well in advance. It’s more steamed than fried, but a crisp bottom is revealed when the cake is flipped. Look for the red pepper paste (gochujang) at Korean markets.
Fresh Herb Kuku
Kuku is a traditional Persian egg dish similar to a frittata. This version by the Iranian food writer Najmieh Batmanglij was served at the White House at Michelle Obama's Nowruz celebration on April 6. In it, a variety of fresh green herbs are mixed with fragrant spices, chopped walnuts and just enough eggs to bind everything together. Dried barberries, caramelized with grape molasses or sugar, make a pretty and sweet-tart garnish. If you can’t get barberries, substitute dried cranberries. Kuku can be served warm or at room temperature, and can be made a day in advance. Leftovers make excellent sandwiches when stuffed into lavash or pita with yogurt.

Toasts With Egg and Bacon
Almond Cake With Peaches and Cream
This tender, golden cake, adapted from Lindsey Shere’s “Chez Panisse Desserts,” walks the line between dense and light, with a fine, moist crumb and deep marzipan flavor that comes from a combination of homemade almond paste and a touch of almond extract. Easily made in a food processor, it’s a versatile cake that you can dress up any way you like. Here, it’s topped with peaches and cream, but it’s just as good with berries, nectarines, plums or poached pears. Or leave it plain for a more restrained dessert or afternoon snack. You can vary the nuts for the paste here, too. Substitute unsalted roasted almonds for a toasty, earthy flavor; hazelnuts for woodsy notes; and pistachios plus a dash of orange blossom water for a heady, floral notes. This cake will keep for up to two days well wrapped at room temperature or five days in the fridge.
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.
Hollandaise Sauce
For the longest time I made a classic French hollandaise sauce with two or three egg yolks, until I tasted what happens when you use seven, in keeping with the teachings of the chefs David McMillan and Fred Morin, of the restaurant Joe Beef in Montreal. Their advice carries over to the use of a blender instead of a double boiler to make the sauce. It’s a terrific sauce for asparagus, for broccoli, for steaks, for scallops, for eggs Benedict or for my homage to a Joe Beef dish: scallops with hollandaise sauce and shredded duck.
Pumpkin-Butterscotch Custard With Spiced Whipped Cream
Butterscotch pudding gets an autumnal makeover with the addition of pumpkin purée and a fluffy, spiced whipped cream topping. To make this dish supremely festive, it’s baked in one large dish instead of individual custard cups. And because it needs to be prepared almost entirely in advance, it’s a perfect dinner party dessert. Serve it scooped into bowls, with some crisp cookies on the side.
Pecan-Crusted Chicken Cutlet Triple Decker
Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Omelet
Sometimes the filling for my omelet is determined by something I find in my pantry. I don’t recall what led me to buy the jar of sun-dried tomatoes that went into this one, but they were very much at home in an omelet.
Eggplant Sandwiches With Fontina Cheese And Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pickled Deviled Eggs
Before they are deviled, these hard-cooked eggs are pickled in rice vinegar, brown sugar and garlic, along with slivered red onions. The pickling brine dyes the egg whites deep pink, and the onions turn pungently sweet and sour, making a terrific garnish for the deviled eggs. And after the eggs are gone, you’ll still be left with plenty of pickled onions that will last for weeks in the refrigerator. Add them to salads, tacos, grilled meats and sandwiches. You won’t be sorry to have them on hand.
Farro Broccoli Bowl With Lemony Tahini
A hearty vegetarian dinner-in-a-bowl, farro is dressed in a lemony tahini sauce spiked with garlic, and topped with charred broccoli florets, thin slices of turnip or radish, and a soft-yolked egg. To streamline the cooking process here, the eggs are simmered in the same pot as the farro. But if you want to substitute leftover grains for the farro (brown or white rice, for example), cook the egg separately using the same timing. Or leave off the egg altogether for a vegan variation. The flavors here are mellow enough for kids, but a squirt of chile sauce or a sliced green chile garnish adds a smack of grown-up heat.
Potato Frittata
Millet Polenta With Mushrooms and Broccoli or Broccoli Rabe
I had envisioned serving this savory mix of mushrooms over a bowl of farro, and farro — or brown rice or barley, for that matter — would certainly work well. But I made the mushrooms on the same day that I made the Millet Polenta With Tomato Sauce, Eggplant and Chickpeas and ended up spooning them over the millet, which was so delicious and comforting that I voted on the millet as the accompanying grain. Cornmeal polenta would also work well.
Eggs Poached In Red-Wine Sauce (Les Oeufs Poches Au Vin Rouge)
Broiled Eggplant With Cheese and Tomato Sauce
Morning Bread Pudding
This special occasion breakfast dish is like a cross between a tarte Tatin and a moist, delicate bread pudding. You have to plan ahead – it needs to sit in the refrigerator overnight – and it requires the preparation of a simple caramel sauce, but it's absolutely, 100% worth the effort. Once the sauce is done, swirl it around the bottom of a pie pan, fill it with slices of challah, then saturate it with a slurry of eggs, sugar, mascarpone cheese, milk and a dash of almond extract. Let it rest overnight, bake and invert on a platter. Serve with a dollop of mascarpone or fromage blanc to cut the sweetness.

Mughlai Paratha
Mughlai paratha is a popular street food found in Bangladesh that traces back to the Mughal Empire. It’s a crisp, flaky, pan-fried flatbread that’s stuffed with fluffy eggs and fiery chiles, and gently spiced with earthy turmeric. Paratha is extremely customizable, so you can use what you have; this version is vegetarian, but keema, a spiced ground meat mixture, is often added. Vegetables like diced bell pepper or a handful of baby spinach are untraditional and welcome, but be mindful of the water content of the vegetables you choose or the eggs will weep. The end result is satisfyingly savory and addictive in its contrasting textures.
