Spicy Spanish Mussels
Of all of the mussel recipes I tested this week, this was the hands-down favorite. Inspired by a spicy mussel dish I enjoyed at Bar Pilar, a tapas bar in Valencia, years ago, this dish is made special by the crunchy almond and hazelnut picada added after the mussels are steamed.

Razor Clam Ceviche
In 2011, razor clams were showing up on menus all over New York City. Some chefs steamed them, some served them with pasta, others decided they would be great in ceviches, as here. A shopping tip for razor clams: the thinner the better. Though the shells usually gape a bit, they should nearly close when touched. Razor clams are much more perishable than hard clams, but their shelf life can be extended by steaming them for use in salads later. Shaunna Sargent, the chef at Corsino restaurant in Manhattan, is among the chefs who froze the clams for a few hours to make the meat easier to remove and more tender. Regardless of whether they are raw or frozen, a paring knife is all that is needed to shuck them. Be sure to scrub the shells first in running water to remove any sand or grit.

Bitter chocolate ice cream

Crispy Rice Crepe Napoleons With Raspberry Red-Chili-Pepper Sorbet

Caramel Ice Cream

Roasted Grapefruit
In 2010, Sam Sifton, who was then The New York Times restaurant critic, made a list of the 15 best things he ate in New York City that year. For breakfast, he chose a dish from Pulino’s in SoHo, which is now closed. This quick-cooked grapefruit is not so much a dish as a magic trick, the fruit covered with a caramel of muscovado sugar and mint that transforms it into ambrosia.

Grapefruit Granité

Alice Waters’s Grapefruit and Avocado Salad
This simple, refreshing salad from Alice Waters, the founder and owner of Chez Panisse, the legendary Berkeley restaurant, can be served as a first course or to revive the palate between the main course and dessert. It came to The Times in 2010 when the Well blog featured a number of recipes from “The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival Cookbook: Recipes and Behind-the-Scenes Stories from America’s Hottest Chefs."

Lemon and Blood Orange Gelée Parfaits
Inspired by a wonderful dessert in the pastry chef Sherry Yard’s “Desserts by the Yard,” this is a beautifully layered jello. First make the lemon gelée – even better if you have Meyer lemons at your disposal – and let it set in the glasses (this will take about an hour, so plan accordingly). Then make the blood orange jelly and pour on top of the lemon layer. The lemon layer is thinner than the blood orange layer.

Mixed Berry Terrine

Flan De Cafe (Coffee Caramel Custard)

Blood Orange, Grapefruit and Pomegranate Compote
This recipe was inspired by a blood-orange compote with caramel-citrus syrup developed by Deborah Madison, the author of “Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.” Here, the same caramel technique is used with the added benefit of a splash of port. It’s a brightly-flavored, refreshing dessert, and it keeps well for a couple of days.

Classic Cranberry Sauce
Nothing beats the puckery-sweet jolt of cranberry sauce. It's a sharp knife that cuts through all the starchy food on the menu. This recipe is for the traditionalists.

Pumpkin Caramel Mousse
This is essentially a great pumpkin pie, with no crust, piped into glasses and topped with hazelnuts. There is whipped cream folded into the mousse, but you could make extra so that you could have some on top, too. It makes for a shockingly impressive dessert.

Plum Sorbet or Granita
Use ripe, juicy red plums for this spicy, wine-infused sorbet or granita.

Chocolate-Rum Mousse
Chocolate-rum mousse, which ran in The Times in 1966, was a remarkably efficient recipe in two distinct ways. First, it invoked nearly every food trend of its moment: chocolate desserts were an exotic new fix; any respectable grown-up dessert contained rum; mousse suggested that you understood French cooking, or at least pretended to; two cups of cream was de rigueur; and the recipe assumed you owned one of the kitchen’s latest appliances, the home blender. Second, the newfangled blender actually did make the recipe a wonder of efficiency: all you had to do was layer the ingredients and blend, and a dinner-party mousse was yours.

Scallop-and-Plum Ceviche
Ceviche is a perfect summer appetizer: light, refreshing and cooking-free. Citrus — sometimes lemon or bitter orange, but in this case lime — does the “cooking” for you. It doesn’t get much simpler than this: a few minutes of chopping, a few seconds of stirring and a quarter of an hour of doing absolutely nothing.

Shun Lee's Lobster Cantonese
Here is an adaptation of the lobster Cantonese served at the eminent Shun Lee West restaurant in New York, which Alex Witchel captured for us in 2009. “Nostalgia deluxe,” she called the dish, totally accurately. It seems complicated to prepare. It is not. Set up all your ingredients beforehand, and the process moves quickly and is not at all difficult.

Raw Butternut Squash Salad With Cranberry Dressing
People aren’t accustomed to eating raw butternut squash, but when it’s grated, it has a wonderful, crunchy quality, and it’s also very pretty. Here, a jumble of grated squash is tossed with a dressing made out of fresh cranberries, honey, orange juice and fresh ginger. It's a lively, fresh twist on the traditional mashed and heavily-buttered treatment.
