Summer Minestrone al Pesto

Some vegetable soups are complex and long-simmered. This light, brothy one brims with full-flavored summer vegetables for a minestrone that comes together in a half an hour or so. If you don't have a vegetable garden, look to the farmers' market for the freshest, sweetest produce. For a warm-weather lunch or supper, the simplicity of this soup is very appealing.

Eggplant, Bulgur and Tomato Casserole with Yogurt Topping

This is a vegetarian moussaka, with bulgur standing in for meat. The tangy Balkan-style yogurt and egg topping has a wonderful pillowy texture, much lighter than béchamel. I like to begin this dish by making the tomato sauce, which I often prepare a day ahead.

Charred Lamb and Eggplant With Date-Yogurt Chutney

You can marinate the meat ahead of time or, in a pinch, make it while the eggplant roasts. Use half the marinade to slather the meat and to the rest, add almonds, dates and cilantro, and spread that over the finished cubes of eggplant. Then roast and broil the lamb to char the surface and keep the meat juicy and rare. Nice dinner!

Red-Cooked Fish With Tangerine Peel

"Red cooking'' means braising with a strong sauce, one that incidentally is reddish in color. The technique is usually applied to meat but it works well with any firm white fish. If carp is unavailable, a similar fresh fish may be substituted.

Manhattan Clam Chowder

The word chowder is said to derive from chaudière, the French word for caldron and the vessel in which the French who migrated to America from their coastal regions cooked fish soups and stews. In 1984, Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey explored a hundred or more variations on the preparation of chowder and alighted upon what they deemed the “ultimate” Manhattan clam chowder. This is their recipe.
