Mustard And Chive Butter Garnish With Asparagus
Banana-Infused Pumpkin Pie
I love taking decadent treats and turning them into healthy nutritional powerhouses that allow you to enjoy your dessert without the guilt. Here is my favorite dessert: pumpkin pie. Over the years, I have experimented with many different recipes, and this maple-sweetened, banana-infused version with a graham cracker coconut crust, which takes minutes to prepare, is always a crowd pleaser. Simply place all the ingredients in a blender to purée, and pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Since this recipe is full of foods like pumpkin, banana, eggs and cinnamon, you, or your guests, won’t feel guilty about having seconds.
Sautéed Cauliflower with Apples and Sherry
Three Sisters Squash
The sisters in this recipe are the Native American staples beans, corn and squash, which together offer a delicious main course for vegan diners. It comes from Maria Marlowe, a Times reader in New York, who said that she used the dish to help convince her family that eating vegan didn't have to mean sacrificing flavor.

Yogurt Sauce
Roasted Grapefruit
In 2010, Sam Sifton, who was then The New York Times restaurant critic, made a list of the 15 best things he ate in New York City that year. For breakfast, he chose a dish from Pulino’s in SoHo, which is now closed. This quick-cooked grapefruit is not so much a dish as a magic trick, the fruit covered with a caramel of muscovado sugar and mint that transforms it into ambrosia.
Zucchini Bread
Buranee Banjan
Alice Waters’s Grapefruit and Avocado Salad
This simple, refreshing salad from Alice Waters, the founder and owner of Chez Panisse, the legendary Berkeley restaurant, can be served as a first course or to revive the palate between the main course and dessert. It came to The Times in 2010 when the Well blog featured a number of recipes from “The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival Cookbook: Recipes and Behind-the-Scenes Stories from America’s Hottest Chefs."
Spinach-and-Artichoke Casserole
Spiced Figs in Port
Christmas Fruitcake
Though some people love it and other people hate it, fruitcake is the ultimate homemade Christmas food gift. Since it is nothing more than fruits and nuts in an egg-flour-butter batter, you can vary the proportions to suit your taste.
Roasted Tomatoes and Whipped Feta on Toast
I love putting roasted tomatoes on toast with whipped feta, and it’s the easiest thing in the world. If you want to make it fancy for guests, try this recipe. I like to amaze them and cut the bread lengthwise into 1/2-inch slabs rather than across. Creative cutting will take you a long way in this world. A word about the cheese: Make sure you press the feta or it’ll have too much liquid in it to set up properly. If you’re really strapped for time, you can substitute fresh ricotta for the feta, but it’s not going to make your tomatoes pop quite as much.

Plum, Almond and Orange Galette
The galette is a free-form French tart that is effortlessly chic, the kind of dish whose imperfections can render it that much more perfect. It makes an exceptionally good showcase for fruit at the height of the season, as with the plums of late August and early September. Orange zest adds wonderful perfume. Typically, buttery doughs are used in galettes, but this recipe calls for a yeasted dough that is not too heavy or rich, a mixture of white and whole-wheat flour (add almond flour for nutty flavor), with significantly less butter. You can use another dough recipe if you like, though, and just heap on this plum filling.
Three Sisters Bean Patties With Raspberry Aioli
The Three Sisters — corn, beans and squash — are foundational foods of the Haudenosaunee people. This recipe is an Indigenous-inspired twist on falafel that brings together the sweetness of squash with savory red beans and cornmeal. Combined with an easy raspberry aioli, these nutritious patties can be eaten alone, tossed in salads or tucked into sandwiches.
Tomato, Spelt and Herb Salad
Tomatoes are very rich source of vitamin A and vitamin C, not to mention lycopenes, phytonutrients that some scientists believe may have antioxidant properties. I am heading out to my garden to reap this summer’s bounty. This is a light summer chopped salad with chewy and crunchy textures. Give it time to marinate for the best flavor.
Puree de poireaux (Leeks puree)
Blood Orange, Grapefruit and Pomegranate Compote
This recipe was inspired by a blood-orange compote with caramel-citrus syrup developed by Deborah Madison, the author of “Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.” Here, the same caramel technique is used with the added benefit of a splash of port. It’s a brightly-flavored, refreshing dessert, and it keeps well for a couple of days.
Olive Oil Plum Cake
I’ve always been intrigued by olive oil cakes and decided to switch out half the butter in the original recipe for this plum cake for olive oil. I spread the batter in a 10-inch tart pan and topped it with delicious pluots from the farmers’ market. You can serve this as a dessert, a coffee cake, or a sweet snack.
