Roasted Portobello And Potato Gratin
"People dismiss gratins as being old- fashioned, but that's exactly what I like about them," the chef Eric Ripert told The Times in 2002. "They're not fancy but they can be rich, and best of all, at home they're put on the table to share." This recipe layers potatoes with meaty portobello mushrooms and tops that with bread crumbs and cream, but no cheese.

Roasted Broccolini and Lemon With Parmesan
Dumping cheese onto something, roasting it and calling it genius isn't the most original thought, but it’s worth mentioning how wonderful this recipe is. Maybe it’s the caramelized, jammy slices of lemon or maybe it’s the almost burnt, crisp, frilly ends of tender broccolini. Whatever it is, a version of this is worthy of every dinner party. While there is something special about the broccolini here (nothing compares to the tender stalks and those wispy ends), this technique also works with root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and parsnips, as well as other brassicas like cauliflower and brussels sprouts.

Polenta With Italian Peppers and Mushrooms

Edna Lewis’s Corn Muffins
After reading that Edna Lewis preferred extra-fine cornmeal, I adapted her recipe to use corn flour. (Be sure to get corn flour, not pure white cornstarch.) These muffins have great corn flavor, and they have a very tender, creamy texture when hot and stay moist when cool. If you’re using regular cornmeal, the muffins are still delicious, especially warm; just reduce the buttermilk to 2 cups.

Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms With Swiss Chard
Portabella (a.k.a. portobello) mushrooms are just grown-up cremini mushrooms. Huge portabellas are great for grilling, and the smaller ones are perfect for stuffing. You’ll be amazed by how much filling you can pack into a medium-size portabella. Serve these as a starter or a side dish.

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.

Corn Fritters
Corn is the One True Vegetable of American summer. Vine-ripened tomatoes are thrilling, but not ours alone. And zucchini, while pleasant, does not make anyone’s toes curl. But the crunch and suck of ripe local corn on the cob is, so far, confined to the Here and Now. Once you’ve tired of piled-high platters of cobs, turn to corn fritters, which are always greeted with surprise — joy, even. And they are forgiving, because they can be made with fresh, or leftover cooked, kernels. Frying on a hot day isn’t anyone’s idea of fun, so my recipe has evolved into a hybrid of fritter and pancake, cooked in shallow oil. It goes with everything on the August table and, with maple syrup, peaches and bacon, is an ideal breakfast for dinner.
