Grandma Crawford's Meat Loaf For A Crowd

Beet Green, Rice and Ricotta Blinis
The idea for this comes from Deborah Madison’s Chard, Ricotta and Saffron Cakes, from her amazing and wonderful new book, “Vegetable Literacy,” which explores vegetables from 12 families of the vegetable kingdom. Ms. Madison is always inspiring, and I think this is her best book to date. These are chunkier than pancakes because of all the rice, but they are more cake than fritter. Let them rise on the griddle – don’t press them down – and allow them to cook for 3 minutes on each side. I like to serve them with a dollop of tomato sauce. You can make smaller cakes to serve as hors d’oeuvres or snacks.

Provencal Spinach Gratin
There are a few versions of spinach gratin in Provence (there it is called a tian). This one is all about spinach - no eggs or cheese, just spinach and lots of garlic, a bit of flour to absorb moisture and hold everything together, and bread crumbs to make the top nice and crisp.

Spinach and Tofu Wontons in Broth
You can find wonton wrappers in most supermarkets. Sometimes they’re in the produce section in the cooler with the tofu. Use either round or square wrappers for these; make them ahead if it’s more convenient and freeze.

Zucchini-Tomato Tian With Olives

Strawberry Floating Islands

Salmon Chambord (Salmon In Red-Wine Sauce)

Southwestern Chicken Salad With Chipotle Chiles
Chipotles add heat and smokiness to this dish, which can be served as a salad or used to fill corn tortillas for soft tacos. The radishes give a fresh crunch and the avocado gives a cool creaminess.

Chicken Soup With Marrow Balls

Asparagus, Green Beans and Potatoes With Green Mole Sauce
Mole sauce, which is thickened with nuts or seeds, is as wonderful with vegetables as it is with meat or fish, something I was reminded of recently when I had a main dish of mole with vegetables at El Naranjo, the chef Iliana de la Vega’s restaurant in Austin, Tex. Green mole especially lends itself to vegetables. At this time of year I’m buying asparagus and green beans. They should not be too crunchy – five minutes was just the right amount of cooking time.

Shrimp And Ginger Ravioli With Beurre Blanc

Beet and Beet Green Fritters
I’ve modeled these delicious and easy grated beet fritters after traditional Greek zucchini fritters. Make sure to buy beets that have a generous amount of greens attached. Don’t be alarmed by the amount of oil: About half of it will still be in the pan when you’re finished, if you are careful to get it hot enough before you add the fritters.

Whole Wheat Sesame Rings (Simit)
These look like bagels with bigger holes, but the bread is denser and defined by the thick coating of sesame seeds that gives them their delicious flavor. I first encountered simit in Athens, then in Egypt, where they are a popular street food, as they are in Turkey. In the past I have dipped the rings into beaten egg before coating with sesame seeds. But I’ve been looking at various recipes lately and see that many Turkish bakers dip their rings into grape or pomegranate molasses diffused with water before coating. I like this method because it enhances the browning effect during baking and leaves a slightly sweet flavor on the surface of the breads. Turkish bakers also sometimes add a ground mahlab (sour cherry kernels) to their dough for added flavor. One way to ensure that most of the sesame seeds will continue to adhere to the breads after they cool is to brush with egg white when you rotate the pans after 20 minutes of baking. The version I am giving you is made with a combination of semolina, all-purpose and (mostly) whole wheat flour, which is totally inauthentic but nevertheless, delicious. If you want a less dense bread, use half unbleached all purpose flour.
