Warm Passion Fruit Gratin With Raspberries
White Asparagus Soup With Morels
Artichoke Velouté
Passion Fruit Fool
There is something about the fragrant astringency of passion fruit, which when mixed with the bland, soft thickness of whipped heavy cream, makes one feel about as near to sensation heaven as it's possible to get at lunchtime.

Soft-Shell Crab Crostini With Arugula Butter
For easy weeknight meals, I dry my cleaned crabs thoroughly so they don’t steam, then sauté them in plenty of butter or oil. You could use a breading like flour or cornmeal to augment the crunch factor, but it also impedes the sweetness of the meat. And good crabs don’t really need it. The trick is to know when to take them off the heat. As soon as they turn from gray-brown to rust and white, the texture goes from soft to taut and they are ready. Soft-shell crabs don’t need much adornment; a squirt of citrus and some freshly ground black pepper offset the funky sea flavor beautifully. But a little garlic and something green and sprightly (here, a combination of arugula and chives) can make them even better.
Shrimp With Creamed Corn and Feta
Fresh summer corn kernels, simmered with feta cheese and a little cream, make a buttery bed for shrimp sautéed in a tomato and bell pepper sauce. Think of it as a lighter, sweeter and wholly inauthentic take on shrimp and grits. If you crave this out of corn season, feel free to use frozen kernels instead.
Fish With Toasted Almonds
This is an easy dish that you can put on the table when you have friends coming around after a long day's work. The soft-fleshed cod (or any other meaty white fish) is offset by the crunchy almonds. Serve alongside a pile of fresh green beans, cooked until just tender, but still bright.
1958: Eggnog
This recipe appeared in The Times in an article by Craig Claiborne. As Freeman pointed out, ''It's important to get good farm-fresh eggs, with really orange yolks and really thick cream; these are the main constituents of the drink.'' Halve the recipe for a smaller gathering.
Brown Butter Cornbread With Farmer Cheese and Thyme
This skillet cornbread is one of the richest-tasting breads you’ll encounter, thanks to the addition of fragrant brown butter and farmer cheese.
Halibut With Brown Butter, Lemon and Sage
This is a simple method for cooking firm, white-fleshed fish on the stovetop from start to finish. If halibut is not available, use thick flounder fillets, snapper, grouper or large sea scallops. The flavor of sage permeates the quick, easy pan sauce and the buttery bread crumbs provide crunchy texture.
Rum-Raisin Cake
Chicken Curry With Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Milk
I used to think the only reason to buy a whole chicken was to actually cook it whole. Why buy one for a recipe calling for parts when the supermarket will cut up the bird for you? Then one day my mother set me straight. It’s one thing to buy a package of thighs or drumsticks when you need a specific part, but you might as well cut up your own bird if you need a variety. You can use your cut-up chicken to make this ginger-and-lime-scented curry with coconut milk, sweet potatoes and chiles. Or substitute your favorite part, be it wings or legs or bone-in breasts. The bright, spicy and gently sweet flavors work well with any pieces of fowl in the pot. When the chicken in this recipe is nearly done braising, you can fry up the liver, then coat it in some of the luscious sauce. If your mother is anything like mine, she’d be proud.
Cucumber and Radish Salad With Yogurt and Cumin
This is based on a recipe from Mark Peel’s “New Classic Family Dinners.” Slice the cucumbers and radishes as thin as you can. I use an inexpensive plastic Japanese mandolin for this. (Make sure to use the guard so you don’t cut your fingertips!) I eat this as a salad and also as a delicious bruschetta or crostini topping.
Asparagus With Brown Butter
Writing in 1991, Jacques Pépin talked of his love of asparagus, stemming back to his childhood in France. His approach to the vegetable is as uncomplicated as it gets. “It is best when cooked in just enough water to steam it,” he wrote. “It is ready — tender but still a bit firm to the bite — after a few minutes.” Topped with a brown butter sauce, it’s a perfect accompaniment to meat, poultry or fish, but also just as at home with some white rice, part of a simple weeknight meal.
