Mee Goreng (Southeast Asian Fried Noodles)
Mee goreng is a popular fried noodle dish found in hawker centers throughout Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia. If you're seeking a noodle dish that's salty, spicy, tangy and slightly sweet, this version will deliver, and is perfect for impressing guests at a dinner party. The sambal tumis is the true star, adding a kick that marries well with the fresh lime juice and soy sauce. It is traditionally made with yellow wheat noodles, but you can find versions that use dried instant noodles instead. You can also substitute chicken or extra vegetables and tofu for the shrimp.
Tomato Chowder With Mollet Eggs and Croutons
Jonathan Waxman’s Roast Chicken
This unadorned but deeply flavorful roasted chicken is served with a vibrant salsa verde of capers, anchovies, garlic, parsley, arugula, basil, tarragon and sage. The chef Jonathan Waxman created the dish at Barbuto, an Italian restaurant in the West Village, where it became a diner favorite. (Daniel Boulud was a fan.) Serve it with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a hunk of good bread to soak up the juices.
Iranian Herb and Walnut Frittata
This is just one of many versions of a classic Iranian frittata filled with fresh herbs and walnuts. Some versions include dried rose petals, which perfume the frittata. I’ve substituted a drop of rose water, because that is what I had in my pantry.
Beef Rendang
Poached Cod With Lemon-Parsley Sauce
Orecchiette With Basil and Pistachio Pesto and Green and Yellow Beans
The small ear-shaped pasta provides hollows for the delicious sauce to settle into. I’ve combined pasta, pesto and green beans before, but I’ve never used orecchiette, the small ear-shaped pasta. I cut the beans into small lengths so that everything is bite-size. I love the way the pesto settles into the little hollows of the orecchiette.
Spinach Soup With Pasta and Egg
Poached Salmon In Ravigote Sauce
Beef-Kidney Stew
Grilled Shrimp With Wilted Spinach and Peaches
The first principle of Indian spice cookery (and of spices in general) is that spices are best when bought whole and ground fresh, as happens in this recipe. Toasting and then grinding the spices — peppercorns, coriander, mustard seeds and cardamom pods — used for the spice rub helps to even out their flavors so that they blend with the mild flavor of the shrimp. Serve them over fresh ripe peaches and tender spinach wilted by a hot mixture of ginger, vinegar, orange juice and curry powder.
Stir-Fried Bean Sprouts With Sprouted Brown Rice
The sprouts I find most often at the supermarket are mung bean sprouts. But lately I’ve also found pea sprouts, which are more delicate and have a delicious fresh flavor. The stir-fry time is much shorter for pea sprouts, about one to two minutes total.
Fish Stew With Pesto
Three-Greens Gratin
This is a Provençal style gratin, or tian, dense with greens and bound with rice and egg. You can play around with the mix of greens; switch out beet greens for spinach, or some of the chard for kale (kale will require a minute or two more of blanching). I have kept the seasonings to a minimum as you have plenty to prep, but a Provençal cook would probably add chopped parsley and perhaps savory or rosemary. You won’t be using the chard ribs here, but keep them to use in other dishes.
Russian Cornish Hens
Eggplant Ragout
Family Pizza
“The Batali Brothers Cookbook,” published in 2013, includes recipes from Benno and Leo Batali, whose father, Mario, also contributed to the book, editing some of his classic dishes into simpler, weeknight-dinner versions. The Batali family pizza recipe is highly practical: small rounds cooked on a stove, no pizza oven or grill required. Yes, there are a number of steps to making the dough, but the plain parbaked crusts last for days, and need only be topped and broiled when it’s time to eat.

Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Wild Mushrooms
Corn Soup With Red Pepper Swirl
Late summer is when corn and ripe peppers collide in the market. A well-seasoned purée of roasted red pepper swirled into this luscious soup makes a dramatic contrast to the corn’s sweetness.
Beet Greens Bruschetta With Poached Egg and Fontina
You’d think I’d get tired of greens. But this week while I was buying a nice bunch of beets at the market and another customer asked the vendor to cut off the greens from her beets, I jumped at the chance to get two bunches of free greens. I brought them home, stemmed and cleaned them thoroughly, then blanched them for a minute in salted boiling water. I enjoyed them all week. I made this bruschetta for dinner one night when I was home alone.
