Juicy Orange Cake
This is delicious made with fresh juice, but even with supermarket O.J., it always tastes swell. Do not think about skipping the glaze; it is not a mere finish for the top, but the juicy essence that soaks in to create a moist cake.

White Asparagus With Cashew Cream Sauce

Freekeh With Chicken, Almonds and Yogurt
Freekeh is unbelievably delicious. Just a bowl of it with a dab of yogurt would suffice, but for the full effect it should be topped with a savory stew of chicken or lamb. Freekeh is made from wheat that is harvested when the berries are still green and then burned to remove the chaff. It is often described as roasted, but when I say smoky, it really is. Use cracked freekeh as the whole-grain version takes longer to cook.

Schmaltz Latkes
Frying latkes in schmaltz — rendered poultry fat — is the traditional Ashkenazi method, what Central and Eastern European Jews typically did before assimilating in America. It makes for an exceptional latke: crisp-edged and deeply flavored, with a nutty, rich flavor that’s much more complex than if you fry them in flavorless vegetable oil. For the best results, make the batter for these just before frying and serve immediately. Also keep in mind that serving these with the optional sour cream or yogurt makes them unsuitable to anyone keeping kosher. If you’re making schmaltz from scratch for this recipe, do use the onion; it adds a lovely caramelized sweetness to the mix. The gribenes, which are the crispy bits of chicken skin that fry in the rendered fat, make an excellent garnish. (They are usually strained out of store-bought schmaltz; if you don’t have them, just omit them here.)

Lemon Grass Spicy Vegetables

Southern Buttermilk Salad Dressing
This recipe comes from a spring holiday dinner party that Mark Bittman and Sam Sifton prepared in Charleston, S.C. They used this dressing on a blend of kale, mustard greens and collards for a springtime salad.

Galangal Ice Cream

Green Goddess Dip
Fresh herbs give this classic dip, adapted from America's Test Kitchen, its clean, fresh flavor and distinctive color; do not substitute dried herbs. For an accurate measurement of boiling water, bring a full kettle of water to a boil, then measure out the desired amount. Season with additional lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Buttered Snow Peas

Mâche Salad With Yogurt Dressing
Mâche is a delicate green also known as lamb’s lettuce, and it’s now available in many Whole Foods stores and other supermarkets in the United States. It has a rich nutritional profile: It is very high in vitamin C, beta carotene, omega-3s and iron (it has even more than spinach). I love the contrast here between the mild, subtle mâche and the sharp, pungent garlic-spiked yogurt.

No-Fuss Grits
This recipe comes from a feast by Mark Bittman and Sam Sifton. They traveled to Charleston, S.C. to show you how to create a spring holiday dinner party. The folks at Husk, an excellent restaurant in town, told them to buy Geechie Boy grits, which they picked up at the Piggly Wiggly.

Zucchini and Grits Custard

German Oven Pancake
Cooking with children requires patience and a deep tolerance for mess. It rewards magic tricks — true transformation of ingredients into something delicious. This recipe delivers, and how, with a pancake that puffs up beautifully as it cooks. You can top as suggested with warm applesauce, jam or maple syrup, or try fresh fruit and whipped cream instead. It’s a child-friendly recipe that will last for decades.
