Bitoks of Beef
Beet Green, Rice and Ricotta Blinis
The idea for this comes from Deborah Madison’s Chard, Ricotta and Saffron Cakes, from her amazing and wonderful new book, “Vegetable Literacy,” which explores vegetables from 12 families of the vegetable kingdom. Ms. Madison is always inspiring, and I think this is her best book to date. These are chunkier than pancakes because of all the rice, but they are more cake than fritter. Let them rise on the griddle – don’t press them down – and allow them to cook for 3 minutes on each side. I like to serve them with a dollop of tomato sauce. You can make smaller cakes to serve as hors d’oeuvres or snacks.
Fancy Meatloaf
“I was invited to cook dinner for Nora Ephron.” As was wont to happen at one point in New York. Back in 2009, Sam Sifton was invited to a potluck in which “guests were meant to bring food inspired by Ephron’s career or by the woman herself.” He drew meatloaf, a dish she was known for. Here, in this recipe adapted from Gourmet, he pairs beef, veal, pancetta and Parmesan. The end result, he described, as “luxurious.” And what did Ms. Ephron think? She called it “remarkable.”
Chicken Breast Milanese With Green Olive-Celery Relish
A breaded chicken breast, gently fried in olive oil, can be sublime accompanied by a bright citrusy relish of green olives and celery. I like to marinate the chicken in buttermilk for an hour or longer, which adds sweetness and helps keep the meat moist. But if you are pressed for time, it’s fine to skip this step.
Fillet of Beef In Red Wine Sauce
Pla Goong (Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad)
This dish is somewhere between a shrimp salad and a ceviche – just-cooked shrimp dressed with a sour-savory-sweet mixture of lime, fish sauce, and sweet chile paste, then showered with herbs and chiles. In classic Thai fashion, it’s combination of many tastes, each moment on your palate different from the next. It’s a favorite of Pornpong Kanittanon, the Consul General of Thailand in New York, and the recipe is adapted from his wife, Jaisamarn.
Feijoada
The mix of meats is personal to each cook. Have your butcher cut the feet and tails for you; they’re highly recommended for their rich gelatin and ‘‘piggy’’ flavor, but if you prefer, you can use more sausage, fresh pork belly or other cuts instead. Don’t be tempted to use too many smoked meats, though; the feijoada’s flavor should be beany and porky, not smoky.
Curried Grilled Jumbo Shrimp
Sauteed Striped Bass With Wild Mushrooms
Utica Greens
This dish was popularized by Joe Morelle in the late 1980s at the Chesterfield Restaurant in Utica, N.Y., where it is on the menu as greens Morelle. More widely known as Utica greens, it has become commonplace, in modified versions, in Italian restaurants throughout central New York, and even migrated to New York City, Las Vegas and Florida. This version of the dish is fairly spicy. Use fewer cherry peppers if you prefer it less hot. You will have leftover oreganato, the topping of bread crumbs and cheese; use it for another greens dish or add it to baked chicken or shrimp. Typically served in restaurants as an appetizer, Utica greens makes a great main course at home with some crusty bread and a glass of red wine.

Black Sea Bass Fillets Provencal Style
Smoked Duck Salad Sandwich With Grapes and Jicama
Sausage With Chard and Rhubarb
This quick sausage dish is perfect for spring. The dark green chard adds freshness, while the rhubarb lends a citrus-like sour note that cuts through the richness of the sausages. If you don’t have any mustard seeds on hand, leave them out. While they do add a pleasant heat and gentle crunch, you won’t miss them if you didn’t know they were supposed to be there. Use any kind of sausage you like here: pork, duck, lamb or turkey all work well with the rhubarb and greens.
Salt-Packed Cold Roast Beef With Bread-Crumb Salsa
When you cook a large piece of meat or a whole fish in a thick crust of salt, the crust provides both gentle heat and even seasoning. For beef tenderloin, a relatively bland cut, salt-baking is easy and ensures a particularly tasty dish. Serving the perfectly plain, perfectly cooked beef alongside a riotous crunchy salad of fried croutons, tomatoes, lemon segments and scallions makes for a lively main course. This recipe – reproduced verbatim from "Prune," the first cookbook by the New York chef Gabrielle Hamilton – isn't like other recipes. (This makes sense, because Ms. Hamilton isn't like other chefs – self-taught, with a quirky menu that reflects her American childhood, French parentage and global palate.) It reflects the book, which is written more like a kitchen manual for Prune's sous chefs than a cookbook for a home kitchen. The recipe may seem long, but with her helpful detail and entertaining language, cooking becomes a pleasure.
