Winter Squash, Leek and Farro Gratin With Feta and Mint
A delicious, and simple, winter squash gratin. This tastes like the filling of many Greek winter squash pies I have made, but it is a simpler dish. The squash is roasted, which gives it great depth of flavor. I love the sweetness of the squash against the salty feta, and the chewy farro against the tender squash. Most of the elements for this gratin can be prepared ahead if you want to go about this piecemeal – farro freezes well and keeps for a few days in the refrigerator; roasted squash keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days as well.
Summer Pudding
Lentils With Smoked Trout Rilletes
A new take on surf and turf, with simply cooked lentils topped with smoked trout. This plate of lentils topped with quenelle-shaped spoonfuls of smoked trout rillettes is not your run of the mill surf and turf combo. It is inspired by a wonderful dish I ate at Buvette, a tiny, lively bistro in Paris. I was there in October, less than a week after I had eaten at its equally popular twin in New York, where the menu was almost identical, except this dish wasn’t offered on the New York menu when I was there (instead I enjoyed brandade). The lentils were simply cooked and came topped with a big scoop of the smoked trout rillettes, a great combo. If I were French I would make the rillettes with lots of butter, but this version has more of a Mediterranean sensibility. Use a fork, not a food processor, to mash the smoked trout, as you want the rillettes to have some texture. Any type of lentil will work here.
Red Pepper Pasta Sauce
Arborio and Red Rice Risotto With Baby Broccoli and Red Peppers
Baby broccoli has thinner stems than regular broccoli and long, feathery flowers that cook up nicely in this mixed-rice risotto.
Blackberry Cake
Here is a recipe for a simple, light blackberry cake from the California pastry chef Jim Dodge. The berries are scattered over the batter, which rises and cooks around them. The cake is fairly dry because it is intended to be served with whipped cream or ice cream. It makes a great finale to a barbecue or cookout.

Chicken and Vegetable Wrap
Much of the pleasure of eating this wrap comes from the crunchy textures of the lettuce and the shredded vegetables. If you poach and shred a couple of chicken breasts at the beginning of the week, then these wraps are quickly thrown together.
Coconut Mashed Yams With Currants
These easy, butter-free, dairy-free mashed yams from Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan cookbook author, are gussied up with creamy coconut milk, maple syrup and warm autumn spices.
Southern Black-Eyed Peas and Cauliflower
This sweet and savory black-eyed pea dish, from vegan cookbook author Chloe Coscarelli, calls for canned beans so it comes together in about a half hour. Serve with Ms. Coscarelli's super-easy biscuits. Leftovers, if you have any, can be eaten in a bun, sloppy-Joe style.
Pear Vanilla Sorbet
Pear sorbet has always been a favorite of mine. Wait until your pears are nice and ripe, for maximum flavor. I keep my pears in a brown paper bag with an apple to speed this process along. The pear and vanilla combo is heavenly.
Tunisian Style Baked Cauliflower Frittata
In the authentic version of this frittata there is a lot more olive oil, as well as chopped hard-boiled eggs. This one is lighter and simpler. It is great for lunch or dinner and keeps well in the refrigerator.
Chinese-Style Barbecued Duck
Sweet and Sour Butternut Squash or Pumpkin
This dish from Madhur Jaffrey, the well-known Indian cookbook author, belongs to a category of Bangladeshi foods known as bharats. Part relish and part vegetable dish, they add extra flavor to a meal. “We are beginning to find peeled and seeded butternut squash in our supermarkets now, making this dish a snap to make,” Ms. Jaffrey says. Use mustard oil for an authentic Bengali taste, or substitute olive oil. Mustard oil and other Asian ingredients and seasonings like asafetida and urad dal can be found in Indian food stores and specialty shops.
