Soft Tacos With Roasted or Grilled Tomatoes and Squash
If you’ve got the grill fired up you can cook the vegetables in a grill pan. Otherwise roast the tomatoes under the broiler and cook the filling on top of the stove.

Intricate Green Gazpacho

Seared Summer Squash and Egg Tacos
These make great breakfast tacos, but I make them for dinner most often. Make sure to get the pan nice and hot for a delicious seared flavor.

Southwestern Cornbread Stuffing

Sabine’s Stuffed Zucchini Flowers
We found zucchini flowers, just picked that morning, at the market in a little town called Céreste, and we snatched them up. You can use the same filling for stuffed tomatoes. The bread is soaked in milk, so if you have some stale bread lying around, this is a great use for it.

Spicy Cucumber Salad

Dosas With Mustard Greens and Pumpkin-Seed Chutney
Making dosas — those gloriously thin, pleasingly sour South Indian flatbreads — at home requires some advance planning. You may need to hunt down the ingredients (online or at an Indian market), and you’ll definitely have to soak the lentils and then let the batter ferment for at least 8 hours or overnight. But the crisp and flavorful crepes are well worth the effort. Note that the first dosas you fry might not turn out well — spreading the batter thin enough takes practice. This recipe, adapted from the chef Anita Jaisinghani of Pondicheri, calls for filtered water because fluoride can interfere with fermentation.

Melange of Winter Vegetables

Polenta With Zucchini, Peppers and Cheese

Smoked Trout Salad, Cucumber and Roasted Pepper Sandwich
For this sandwich I use canned smoked trout — it’s packed in oil and not dry, so it lends itself to a mixture like tuna salad. I flake it in my mini-processor, then mix it up with a little yogurt and mayonnaise.

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.
