Marcella Hazan’s Semifreddo di Cioccolato
Semifreddo, which means "half-cold" in Italian, is a more elegant version of the traditional ice cream cake (think frozen mousse), and it's the ideal dessert for a summer party as it can be done in advance, then sliced and plated at the table. This recipe, an adaptation of one found in Marcella Hazan's "Marcella's Italian Kitchen," is light yet luxurious. It calls for just four ingredients – heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, grated chocolate and egg whites – and it's dead simple to make. Just whip the cream, add the sugar, fold in the beaten egg whites and chocolate, and then freeze. Unmold, slice and serve. To gild the lily, garnish with fresh summer berries.
Rhubarb Oat Shortcakes
Roasting rhubarb with Demarara sugar until the stalks caramelize and soften enough to collapse gives you a heady and intense jamlike compote with a molasses edge. Here, it’s paired with tender, biscuitlike shortcakes made with a little oat flour for complexity and plenty of whipped cream. It’s important to let the rhubarb juices truly caramelize at the edges of the pan; they should turn deep mahogany brown before you pull it from the oven. Then mix those syrupy juices with the rest of the rhubarb for the deepest flavor. You can make the biscuits and rhubarb up to eight hours in advance. Store them at room temperature until ready to serve.

Nectarines and Berries With Flavored Whipped Cream
Macerated desserts are simply fruit steeped in a flavored sugar syrup, wine, liquor, vinegar or citrus juice, usually for a couple of hours or overnight. During the process, the fruit becomes slightly softer, its flavor infused with spices, juices or wine. Fruit can be nicely complemented not only by a simple sugar syrup, but also by orange or lemon juice, wine, liqueurs and vinegar. Any soft fruit, like bananas, mangoes or papayas, should be added at the end. Basil or mint leaves, orange or lemon zest and star anise will also add some zing.
Portuguese Egg Custard Tarts
These diminutive egg tarts — pasteis de nata — a specialty all over Portugal, have a cinnamon flavored custard nestled in a flaky puff pastry crust. The trick here is to bake them in a very hot oven, which causes the custard to puff and the pastry to turn brown and crunchy. You can make the crust and filling ahead, but don’t bake them more than an hour or two before serving. They’re at their best still warm.
Creamy Coconut Popsicles
Cream of coconut, not to be confused with coconut milk or coconut cream, is a thick syrupy confection made by blending coconut and sugar and is most often used in piña coladas. Mixed with cream, coconut milk and shredded coconut, it gives these pops that classic tropical flair. One note: Coconut milk and cream of coconut naturally separate, so be sure to stir well before measuring.
Coconut Ginger Chicken
With a little practice and a little added flavor, a humble chicken breast can be anything you want.
Spy Wednesday Biscuits
Brother Rick Curry shared this Holy Week recipe with The New York Times in 1994. These feathery sconelike biscuits are named for Spy Wednesday -- the day the soldiers spied on Christ.

Frozen Piña Colada
This drink needs no introduction, and it’s a good reason to have coconut cream, pineapple and maraschino cherries in the fridge. Try raising the bar with Italian maraschinos. (The New York Times)
Nectarine Pie
There’s really really nothing better than fresh fruit pie. Though peach pies are de rigeur in the summer, this one uses nectarines (O.K. you can use fresh peaches, too). This pie also takes a turn away from the traditional with a graham-cracker crust.
Thin and Crispy Cornbread
The thick, golden wedges of cornbread served directly from a skillet that you see in glossy food magazines look nothing like the thin and crispy cornbread April McGreger’s Mississippi grandmother used to make. The ratio of crunch to tender middle here errs on the side of crunch, which makes it perfect for soaking up the delicious broth called potlikker, which comes from simmering smoked meat and greens, sometimes cooked with Southern field peas. This cornbread bakes up best in a well-seasoned 12-inch cast-iron skillet, though you can divide the batter between two smaller skillets or even cake pans. A scattering of dry coarse cornmeal in the hot skillet before you pour in the batter makes the cornbread extra crunchy. Flipping it onto a plate or rack also helps the crust stay crisp. Or you could make it thicker and cook it ahead of time, then split the slices and toast them before serving.
Monkey Bread
Back in 1982, a reader wrote in about a friend who had “once seen ‘monkey bread’ on a dinner menu,” asking Craig Claiborne if he'd ever heard of it. Mr. Claiborne, it turns out, hadn’t. “My dictionary informs me that monkey bread is the gourdlike fruit of the baobab tree,” he wrote. A couple of weeks (and “numerous” letters and phone calls) later, he corrected himself, running this recipe from James Beard’s 1973 book “Beard on Bread.” We've retested the recipe, and made a couple of updates. It’s still a little different from many of the pull-apart breads you may find online, and a showstopper. Its crispy, buttery edges are almost like sweeter dinner rolls, giving way to caramelized, gooey bits at the bottom. It makes a ton, so save it for guests — or freeze the leftovers for your next French toast casserole.
