Chifferi Pilaf
Rustic Tomato Toast
This traditional Spanish snack couldn’t be easier to make. Aside from good toasted bread, it requires very few ingredients: a garlic clove, a ripe tomato, some olive oil and flaky sea salt. In fact, the ingredient list is actually the recipe in shorthand. If you want a slightly more elaborate toast, garnish with anchovy fillets, slices of avocado or grilled shrimp. But even in its simplest form, this rustic toast is always satisfying.
Fresh Sturgeon With Spring Vegetables
Yearly Surplus
Gish Jen, the author of “Mona in the Promised Land,” shared this recipe with The Times in the late 1990s. Growing up in Scarsdale, N.Y., she was “suspicious” of her mother’s cooking. “I mean, I never ate the kind of Chinese food they serve in restaurants.” But she came to love her mother’s family-style Shanghai cooking. This dish is an adaptation of a dish served at the traditional Chinese New Year feast (her mother made it with steamed carp), along with Step-by-Step Higher (rice and cabbage), High Achievement (pork and hard-boiled eggs) and Safety in All Seasons (chicken with chestnuts and ginger). To derive the maximum benefit from the feast, the author said, you have to eat absolutely everything — the sweet and the sour.
Tagliatelle Bolognese
Chef Chan's Ma Paul Tofu With Minced Pork
At Wu Liang Ye in Manhattan, the Ma Paul Tofu is zippy with flavor, and yet its braised cubes melt creamily. With a little ground pork and leek for texture, the dish is simple to make, once the shopping is done, and comes together quickly. Take care not to overcook the tofu.
Stuffed Saddle of Lamb With Champagne Sauce

Onion Phyllo Pie
Wheat Berry and Tomato Salad
Whole wheat berries lend themselves to both summer and winter dishes. Much of the flavor in this salad comes from the tangy juice of chopped tomatoes, almost like a marinade for the chewy wheat. The salad is all about texture, with crunchy celery (or cucumber) and soft feta contrasting with wheat.
Shanghai Chicken In Wine Sauce
Morning Couscous With Oranges and Dates
This is a delicious way to enjoy couscous. You can reconstitute the couscous the night before and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. All it will need in the morning is a steam in the microwave and the addition of the oranges.
Vegetable Hash With Poached Egg
This is a clean-out-the-refrigerator sort of hash. I used red onion, red pepper, carrot, celery, kohlrabi and parsnip, all lingering in the produce drawer of my refrigerator. I like the texture of the root vegetables, and because they brown in the pan and there’s ketchup involved, this dish tastes like traditional hash to me.
Crevettes au Vermouth (Shrimp with vermouth)
Chicken with Champagne Sauce (Poulet Zaza)
Pan-Roasted Shrimp With Mezcal, Tomatoes and Arbol Chiles
Shrimp are like cotton balls, absorbing the flavor of whatever they bathe in. Whitney Otawka developed this dish for Cinco y Diez in Athens, Ga. The shrimp takes on the smoky notes of the tequila and roasted tomatoes and the deep heat of dried arbol chilies. Cooking the shrimp with the heads adds flavor to the sauce. The adventurous can break off the heads and suck in the juices. Make sure you have all the ingredients assembled next to the stove before hand. The cooking goes quickly.
Chickpeas in Star Anise and Date Masala
This recipe, adapted from Meeru Dhalwala of Vij’s Restaurant, in Vancouver, British Columbia, came to The Times in 2010, part of a Sam Sifton piece about vegetarian meals for meat-lovers. The dish, he writes, is a “simple chickpea curry that Dhalwala cooks with star anise and chopped dates, which combine into an autumnal darkness that lingers on the tongue.” Coming together quickly, it’s a great choice for a weeknight meal or a lazy winter weekend.
