Polenta ‘Pizza’ With Pancetta and Spinach
Everything is fair game at breakfast — and long has been, of course — but to most Americans it doesn’t seem appropriate to start making what amounts to dinner at 7 in the morning. This pizza could be considered dinner or lunch fare, but it makes a hearty first meal of the day.

Root Vegetable Gratin
Use turnips, rutabagas, kohlrabi or a mix of these vegetables in this delicate winter gratin.

Red Vanilla Beans

Grilled Plantains

Black Bean Muneta With Fried Plantain Chips

Sunday Beans
This recipe is authentic to the Caribbean larder: beans, garlic, cumin, citrus and meat, bubbling together on the stove. Of course, rice and beans are served across Latin America, in different variations, with different beans, for different reasons. Adding a further delight to the plate would not be in error: some fried pork chops, say, or a dish of fast and flavorful roast chicken, dusted liberally with cumin and served beneath a shower of lime juice, fresh chopped cilantro and garlic.

Refrigerator Corn Relish
This colorful, mildly spicy relish is sweet, but not as sweet by a long shot as many corn relish recipes I’ve seen and tasted. It goes well with everything from burgers to tofu sandwiches. You can add more chiles to the recipe if you want a spicier relish.

Yogurt and Bean Dressing With Cilantro and Lime
One of my favorite variations on Lisa Feldman’s bean and yogurt dressing base is her cilantro-lime dressing. Blend cilantro into just about any dressing, purée, sauce or soup, and I’ll be there with a spoon. I use a little more cilantro and lime juice than Lisa calls for, to achieve a pale speckled-green mixture that is slightly zingy; add a small green chile if you want a bit more spice.

Basil Broth

Snow Pea Salad

Tostadas With Smashed Black Beans or Vaqueros
Refried heirloom vaquero beans add a special touch to these tostadas, but black beans work, too. I have always had a weakness for black bean tostadas. These are not unlike Oaxacan tlayudas, though this recipe doesn’t call for that dish’s signature extra-large corn tortillas. I used luxurious black and white vaqueros from Rancho Gordo for these, but black beans will also work well. Cook them yourself (don’t use canned), because you’ll need the delicious broth. I don’t refry them for as long as I normally would because I like them moist, and vaqueros are starchier than black beans.

Summer Squash Refrigerator Pickles
With its spongy texture, summer squash will soak up the spicy flavors in this mix. Experiment with other spices if you wish. I like to use a mix of yellow squash and zucchini. Add the pickled squash to salads, use it as a relish or as a condiment with grains, meat or fish.

Creamy ‘Ranch’ Dressing
Lisa Feldman, the director of culinary services at the schools division of the food services company Sodexo, understands that where there is ranch dressing, there are kids who will eat vegetables. Lisa is working to devise menus for schools that meet or exceed the Department of Agriculture’s Healthier US Schools Challenge requirements. With a deep understanding of the ingredients that school lunch programs have to work with, she developed a white bean and yogurt salad dressing base. The mixture will make a dressing that has much more nutritional value, considerably less sodium, and none of the additives in the long ingredient list on a bottle of commercial ranch dressing. Lisa credits the chef and cookbook author Joyce Goldstein for the idea. This is an adaptation of the ranch that Lisa developed for schools. It can be used as a dip, but also as a salad dressing for crisp salads. Adding the ice cube to the food processor helps to break down the fiber in the bean skins so that the dressing is less grainy.

Pickled Watermelon Rind

Quail Stuffed With Pomegranate

Spaghetti Squash Topped With Smoked Oyster and Watercress Ragout

Pickled Peaches With Sweet Spices
I love the balance of sweet, sour and spice in this recipe. These are refrigerator pickles, meant to be kept in the refrigerator, where they will keep for up to two months; so you could pull them out for Thanksgiving, though I doubt you will be able to resist them for that long. Although this recipe calls for a lot of sugar, you will not be consuming the syrup so don’t be alarmed by it.

Yogurt and Bean Dressing With Thai Flavors
This version of Lisa Feldman’s yogurt and bean dressing is based on her slightly sweet Thai ginger dressing. Sriracha sauce, I’ve noticed, has become the go-to condiment for many chefs. It contributes just enough spice and pungency to the mix (you can add more if you want more heat). I like to serve this with grains, and as a dip or a dressing for crispy salads.

Pickled Green Beans
In the South these are sometimes called “dilly beans” because of the dill that goes into the jars with the beans. My only reservation about making pickles out of green beans is that it is impossible for the beans to retain their wonderful green color. But I forget about this regret when I taste them, redolent as they are with coriander seeds and dill. You can serve them as an aperitif, garnish or side, or cut them up and add them to salads.

Marinated Fresh Anchovies

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.

Yogurt Parfaits With Cherries and Pistachios
Yogurt parfaits are easy to make, and they make great desserts and snacks.

Watermelon or Cantaloupe Agua Fresca
Agua fresca is a light fruit drink popular throughout Mexico. It’s simply made by blending fruit with water, a bit of sugar and a little lime juice. Begin with sweet, juicy melon, or your agua fresca won’t have much flavor.
