Peeled Asparagus Salad With Radish and Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
With farm-fresh asparagus, no cooking is needed. If the stalks are fat, slice them lengthwise with a simple kitchen peeler; if they’re skinny, just chop everything up fine. Add radishes, fresh herbs, pea tendrils (if available), toasted pumpkin seeds, and you have an easy, incredibly vibrant salad. Add Parmesan or cut-up hard-boiled eggs if you like. Finish with olive oil and lemon juice.

Spiced Pumpkin Oatmeal
Good oatmeal can be a revelation, with grains that are tender and plump but that retain their toothsomeness and shape. And of course, it is good for you, being high in calcium, iron, protein and fiber and low in salt and calories. This version is a homey, not-too-sweet nod to the pumpkin spice trend.

Delicious on its own or as the base for a stuffing, this rich, moist cornbread is inspired by a Basque recipe that's been altered to resemble American cornbread. The pumpkin flavor is very subtle, and honey provides a hint of sweetness.
Radish Gazpacho
A La Cote Saint-Jacques's Gazpacho With Shrimp And Zucchini Mousse
Baked Acorn Squash Stuffed With Wild Rice and Kale Risotto
The filling here is a Greco-Italian fusion, with a little American (wild rice) thrown in. I’m usually not a fusion sort of cook, but I wanted something creamy like risotto to fill these squash. Look for small acorn squash so that each person can have one. They’ll be like miniature vegetarian (or vegan) turkeys
Summer Squash, Tahini and Yogurt Dip
Just when I thought I would never find anything new to do with the two small summer squash that were lingering in my refrigerator I came across this dish in Paula Wolfert’s book “The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean.” A simple combination of cooked squash, drained yogurt, garlic and tahini, it’s another example of how you can make yogurt dips with just about any vegetable.
