Alice Waters’s Grapefruit and Avocado Salad
This simple, refreshing salad from Alice Waters, the founder and owner of Chez Panisse, the legendary Berkeley restaurant, can be served as a first course or to revive the palate between the main course and dessert. It came to The Times in 2010 when the Well blog featured a number of recipes from “The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival Cookbook: Recipes and Behind-the-Scenes Stories from America’s Hottest Chefs."
Lemon and Blood Orange Gelée Parfaits
Inspired by a wonderful dessert in the pastry chef Sherry Yard’s “Desserts by the Yard,” this is a beautifully layered jello. First make the lemon gelée – even better if you have Meyer lemons at your disposal – and let it set in the glasses (this will take about an hour, so plan accordingly). Then make the blood orange jelly and pour on top of the lemon layer. The lemon layer is thinner than the blood orange layer.

Blood Orange, Grapefruit and Pomegranate Compote
This recipe was inspired by a blood-orange compote with caramel-citrus syrup developed by Deborah Madison, the author of “Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.” Here, the same caramel technique is used with the added benefit of a splash of port. It’s a brightly-flavored, refreshing dessert, and it keeps well for a couple of days.

Honey Spice Bread
If you go to a French honey stand or shop, or one of the many honey fairs that occur during the summer in Provence, pain d’épices – spice bread – will always be one of the items for sale along with the honey, as honey is a key an ingredient in these breads. This recipe is based on one by French Pastry School founder Jacquy Pfeiffer. His recipe, which does not contain any butter or oil, results in a very moist bread. You will need a small loaf pan, no bigger than 4 x 8 inches, or you can make mini-muffins.

Raw Butternut Squash Salad With Cranberry Dressing
People aren’t accustomed to eating raw butternut squash, but when it’s grated, it has a wonderful, crunchy quality, and it’s also very pretty. Here, a jumble of grated squash is tossed with a dressing made out of fresh cranberries, honey, orange juice and fresh ginger. It's a lively, fresh twist on the traditional mashed and heavily-buttered treatment.

Spiced Pumpkin Creme Brulee With Ginger-Dusted Churros
This recipe came to The Times from Bruno Davaillon, the executive chef of the celebrated Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek restaurant in Dallas. When this combination of cold crème brulee and hot churros (deep-fried pastries dusted with cinnamon sugar) appeared on the Mansion menu, it “took off right away,’’ says Mr. Davaillon. Use a star-shaped piping tool to make the churros about three to four inches long and up to a ½ inch in diameter. They can be piped out a day early and fried at the last minute before serving.
