Tropical Fruit Trifle

Clam loaf

Abalone Ceviche
The abalone’s oceanic flavor comes with a uniquely al dente texture — it’s like an oyster crossed with a scallop with a twist of snail. (Only otters can eat it straight from the shell: fresh abalone requires tenderizing to transform its eraserlike consistency.) Long prized in Asian cuisine, it has become an American delicacy as well, served in high-end restaurants like Michel Richard's Citronelle in Washington.

Filet de Boeuf Roti au Jus (Roasted fillet of beef)

Butter-Poached Stone Fruit
Stone fruit is summer in your hand. To me, there isn’t a better unmessed-with food than a good, ripe peach. Still, stone fruit can be fun to play around with, and a recipe for one kind is a recipe for almost all. Peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, mangoes and cherries all respond similarly to sautéing, poaching, macerating, grilling, roasting and drying. And once cooked, stone fruit goes with just about everything. The length of cooking time will vary, depending mostly on the quality and ripeness of the fruit. Peel it if you like, or leave the skin on to retain texture and extra flavor. (Peeled fruit will cook through faster.) To peel, plunge fruit into boiling water for 10 to 20 seconds to loosen the skin, then slip it off. When you pit the fruit — and you will need to remove the stones for each of these recipes — do so over a bowl to catch the juice, and use it instead of water where needed.

Fruit cornucopia

English Roast Fillet of Beef With Two Sauces

Filet d'Alose Veronique (Shad Fillet With Grapes)

Clam sauce with Pernod or Ricard

Crisp Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
Inspired by two recipes in Maida Heatter’s “Book of Great Cookies,” these crisp treats are the best peanut butter cookies I’ve ever tasted.

Oysters With Miso Glaze
These oysters are broiled in a simple, creamy glaze bolstered with just a dollop of red miso paste. Try to find Malpeque, Moonstone or Wellfleet oysters for the recipe, created as a food pairing for Chinon.

Roasted Onions

Bouchon Bakery’s ‘Nutter Butters’
This peanut butter sandwich cookie is a smaller version of the gargantuan homemade Nutter Butters served at Bouchon Bakery, Thomas Keller's restaurant in the Time Warner Center. It is pure peanut sophistication; two crunchy, crisp peanut butter cookies filled with pillowy peanut-butter frosting. These cookies spread a fair amount while baking, so be sure to give them plenty of room on the baking sheet and let them cool and firm up before filling. (After reading through some of the reader comments, we retested the original recipe and decided to make the cookies smaller and double the filling. We've edited the below recipe to reflect those changes.)

Red Onion Preserves

Pasta with clams meridionale

Whelk Chowder

Cold Rice Noodles With Grilled Chicken and Peanut Sauce
Maybe cold pasta makes you think of some mediocre quasi-Italian grab-and-go deli choice in a plastic clamshell. To me, it conjures up images of delicious Southeast Asian street food and warm ocean breezes. There, cool rice noodles are topped with crisp vegetables, sweet herbs, pungent sauces and usually a little savory element, like sizzled fragrant beef or nuggets of fried spring rolls. A bowl of these saladlike noodles is always appealing, and they’re excellent for hot weather wherever you may find yourself, even if you don’t happen to be on a tropical holiday. For a dish that’s not especially labor intensive, it ranks high on the flavor scale and tastes fresh, clean and bright: the kind of home-cooked fast food we can all appreciate.

A Great Malted

Cranberry Ice

Orange-Buttermilk Shakes

Date Shake

Spiced Pumpkin Oatmeal
Good oatmeal can be a revelation, with grains that are tender and plump but that retain their toothsomeness and shape. And of course, it is good for you, being high in calcium, iron, protein and fiber and low in salt and calories. This version is a homey, not-too-sweet nod to the pumpkin spice trend.

Tangerine or Minneola Tart

Potato Bread
Is this potato bread from Copenhagen time-consuming? Yes, but unattended for the most part. There are a few unusual aspects to this recipe that produces a batch of warm, buttery, flaky little breads. With the yogurt and slow-rising, they deliver a pleasing touch of sourness. And the way the dough is shaped, by making many folds, gives the breads an inviting flakiness. Though baking rounds is what the chef suggests, I also prepared it by forming about 15 small balls of dough, placing them next to one another in a buttered layer-cake pan and baking them until golden, without grilling first, to turn them into a batch of Parker House rolls.
