Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Omelet
Sometimes the filling for my omelet is determined by something I find in my pantry. I don’t recall what led me to buy the jar of sun-dried tomatoes that went into this one, but they were very much at home in an omelet.

Chickpea, Quinoa and Celery Salad With Middle Eastern Flavors
It’s the sumac (available in Middle Eastern markets) and the herbs – dill, mint, chives – that give this salad its Middle Eastern accents. I love the texture and flavor of the chickpeas, which make for a substantial and comforting dish. It’s all you need for lunch and makes a delicious light supper. I love abundant, thinly sliced celery in just about any lemony salad; you will appreciate it for its texture as well as its flavor. Of course, you can use canned chickpeas, but if you have the time, try cooking some dried chickpeas to see how good they taste.

Baby Spinach Salad With Dates and Almonds
Sumac, a tart, deep-red spice, is a key ingredient for this recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi, which was featured in a Times article about his cookbook with Sami Tamimi, “Jerusalem.” Procuring the spice may be the most challenging thing about this refreshing, well-balanced salad. The pita and almonds are cooked for a few minutes on the stovetop, but that is the only heat required. As for the sumac, it can be found at Middle Eastern groceries, in a well-stocked spice aisle or, as always, online.

Cheesy Cabbage Tteokbokki
A dish of royalty, tteokbokki consists of chewy Korean rice cakes (tteok) that are stir-fried (bokki) and slicked in a savory-sweet sauce. Sometimes the sauce is soy-sauce-based, as the kings of the Joseon dynasty enjoyed in the royal court dish gungjung tteokbokki. But more commonly today, as it is here, the sauce is gloriously red, spicy and gochujang-based. Traditional versions might include fish cakes and whole hard-boiled eggs, but this one leans into a base of butter-fried shallots and a layer of melted cheese covered in a crunchy blanket of raw cabbage. A parade of halved, molten-centered soft-boiled eggs bedecks the top.

Chanterelles on Toast
Mushrooms are like sponges full of water. When subjected to heat, they release their liquid, and after some of it evaporates, they will suck the rest back up. So in this recipe from the chef Hugh Acheson start by letting the chanterelles hit the hot oil, sizzle and then color a bit. Liquid will exude into the pan, partly evaporate and then return into the mushrooms. Once the pan is pretty much liquid-free, it’s time to reintroduce flavorful liquids, which the mushrooms will also take up.

Farro Broccoli Bowl With Lemony Tahini
A hearty vegetarian dinner-in-a-bowl, farro is dressed in a lemony tahini sauce spiked with garlic, and topped with charred broccoli florets, thin slices of turnip or radish, and a soft-yolked egg. To streamline the cooking process here, the eggs are simmered in the same pot as the farro. But if you want to substitute leftover grains for the farro (brown or white rice, for example), cook the egg separately using the same timing. Or leave off the egg altogether for a vegan variation. The flavors here are mellow enough for kids, but a squirt of chile sauce or a sliced green chile garnish adds a smack of grown-up heat.

Tomato Pie With Pimento Cheese Topping
Tomato pie is just the kind of supper a Southern cook might serve in the summer: savory and rich, but vibrant with super-fresh vegetables and herbs. Virginia Willis, a Georgia native and food writer, had the inspired idea to add a topping of pimento cheese, another Southern classic. There are multiple steps here because of the scratch-made crust, but everything can be baked in the cooler parts of the day, and the pie can be served warm or at room temperature.

Pickled Deviled Eggs
Before they are deviled, these hard-cooked eggs are pickled in rice vinegar, brown sugar and garlic, along with slivered red onions. The pickling brine dyes the egg whites deep pink, and the onions turn pungently sweet and sour, making a terrific garnish for the deviled eggs. And after the eggs are gone, you’ll still be left with plenty of pickled onions that will last for weeks in the refrigerator. Add them to salads, tacos, grilled meats and sandwiches. You won’t be sorry to have them on hand.

Couscous With Thick Tomato Vegetable Sauce

Cauliflower With Oyster Mushrooms and Sherry
This dish of cauliflower and oyster mushrooms in sherry and cream is pan-simmered, though the cauliflower is blanched beforehand in highly salted water to keep it crisp. The addition of sherry to the cream sauce keeps it from being bland, and the mushrooms are seared for a bit of chew.

Mortadella Mousse
With blanc de blancs Champagnes, inspiration comes easily. Pop open a tin of caviar, but also consider fat-rich cured meats and cheeses, like an irresistibly delicate, almost buttery mortadella mousse swirled on toast. I puréed diced mortadella, smoothed it with mascarpone and sharpened it with grated Parmesan. Then I recalled a mortadella spread at Osteria Morini, a SoHo restaurant that specializes in the food of Emilia-Romagna, the home of mortadella. Michael White, the chef and an owner, uses ricotta and heavy cream in his spuma di mortadella. Same idea, but I put my money on my mascarpone. I did add his fragrant touch, a pinch of nutmeg. Canapés can be served as is or, with a dusting of extra Parmesan, lightly browned under the broiler.

Rice Salad With Peanuts and Tofu
With a little advance preparation, this spicy salad can be made in 30 minutes. You can cook the two kinds of rices together if you soak the red rice for an hour first; the antioxidant-rich pigment from the red rice will bleed into the white rice, turning it an attractive pale rusty color, which is nice. The marinade and the rice will keep for about 3 days in the refrigerator. The baked tofu will also keep, in the marinade, for a couple of days.
