Lattice-Top Strawberry Pie
Here is a classic American strawberry pie. The filling is super simple – just strawberries, sugar, a bit of flour and butter – and the crosshatched crust is spectacular. If the thought of weaving together a lattice-top makes you quiver, check out our pie guide for a how-to video, or use a round biscuit cutter to cut out circles and lay them on top, like Melissa Clark did on this sour cherry pie.

Chilled Rhubarb Soup and Vanilla Ice Cream

Raspberry And Oatmeal Swirls
I make no apology for using frozen raspberries in the oatmeal yogurt swirls. At this time of year, what really is the option? Besides, I love these breakfast sundaes best when the berries are still frozen and tasting like a tart sorbet against the smooth creaminess of the yogurt and the sweet crunch of the cookie crumbs. I often find it easier to make these, too, the night before. The raspberries thaw and the yogurt stiffens somewhat, and yes, the cookie crumbs in the middle lose their crunch, but everything melds together gloriously. A last-minute sprinkling of cookie crumbs on top is all they need.

Banana Chocolate-Chip Tea Cake

Savory Brown Butter Consommé
Gelatin filtration is a way to make sparklingly clear liquids that are intensely flavored with … well, whatever you like: meats, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, breads, any and all combinations of ingredients. This is just flavor in fluid form, which you can use in the same way you might use a soup or sauce.

Sautéed Scallops
Sea scallops and bay scallops differ in size and sweetness. They also cook a little differently. I love a good hard sear on a sea scallop, a little crust and a splash of wine in the butter at the end to provide a silky acidity against the sweet of the meat. For the tiny, sweet bay scallop, though, I prefer a gentle butter bath. Whichever you cook, be very careful not to overcook. Indeed, there is almost no such thing as an undercooked scallop.

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Shell-shaped Dacquoise

Gooey Pumpkin Chocolate Swirl Bars
These soft-centered, marbled bars have all the hallmarks of a winning autumnal treat — spiced pumpkin, rich dark chocolate, toasty pecans and a splash of bourbon. It's worth the extra effort to brown the butter; its warm toffee notes bring out the best of everything.

Master Shortbread Recipe
If you use half a pound of butter in a batch of cookies, it becomes “short” — because “short” means, historically, pastry with a high percentage of fat. Thus shortbread cookies are — when correctly made — rich, crumbly and impossible to resist. In their simplest form, they taste mostly of sweet and sweetened butter, so the best butter you can lay your hands on will make a difference here. I like that side-of-the-tongue tingling presence of saltiness, and so I tend to use a little more salt than is strictly necessary, hence the range in the recipe.

Radish Sandwiches With Butter and Salt
Steven Satterfield, the chef at Miller Union in Atlanta, included this very French picnic recipe in his cookbook, "Root to Leaf." As he points out, the key is to use a lot of butter, a lot of radishes and plenty of salt. The recipe yields four sturdy desk- or school-lunch sandwiches, or you can divide them further, into a dozen little bites for hors d’oeuvres.
