Cottage Cheese Pancakes With Indian Spices

We eat these Indian-spiced pancakes for dinner, along with a green salad. They don’t even need a topping. If you do want to top them with something, a cucumber raita or plain yogurt would work well

Quinoa, Lentil Sprout and Arugula Salad

Use lentil or sunflower sprouts, which have a peppery flavor, in this well-textured salad. These sprouts are available in many farmers’ markets but very easy to make yourself (see below). I prefer black or red quinoa in this dish because I like the texture, but regular quinoa works as well.

Brioche Stuffing With Chestnuts and Figs

This luxurious vegetarian stuffing recipe from Daniel Humm, the chef of Eleven Madison Park and NoMad in New York, came to The Times in 2010 when the Well blog published several recipes appropriate for the meat-free Thanksgiving table. Here, vegetarian sausage stands in for traditional pork, and the addition of apple, fennel and chestnuts provide a pleasing combination of flavors and textures. It is a rich and delicious dressing that everyone will love.

Pesto and Pistou

Pesto and Pistou

I use pesto and pistou in many other dishes besides pasta. Pesto is a nutritionally dense condiment; basil is a great source of flavonoids that are believed to have antioxidant and antibacterial properties. It's also an excellent source of vitamin K, and a very good source of iron, calcium and vitamin A. Purists will only use a mortar and pestle for pesto. I like the results I get using a hand blender inside a straight-sided jar. As long as you make the full batch, this is the best machine to use, as it purées the basil much more efficiently than a food processor.

Mache and Endive Salad With Clementines and Walnuts

Mache and Endive Salad With Clementines and Walnuts

Mache, a delicate green with a mild, subtle flavor, packs quite a nutritional punch, as it is high in omega-3s (as are walnuts) and folic acid. The salad is simple to throw together, but its flavors are complex, with sweet juicy mandarin (or tangerine or clementine sections), crunchy bitter endive and walnuts, soft and almost sweet mache, and vibrant fresh herbs. The recipe will serve 4 to 6 but I admit to eating a good half of this salad when I tested it.

Green Goddess Dip

Green Goddess Dip

Fresh herbs give this classic dip, adapted from America's Test Kitchen, its clean, fresh flavor and distinctive color; do not substitute dried herbs. For an accurate measurement of boiling water, bring a full kettle of water to a boil, then measure out the desired amount. Season with additional lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Vegetarian Dagwood

This sandwich takes advantage of late-summer’s bounty, with a pile of vegetables set between two layers of focaccia. It takes about half an hour to prepare. You’ll glaze some sliced onions with garlic, lemon and olive oil, chop and sauté the vegetables you happen to have on hand, and then layer it all with slices of your best tomatoes, some cheese and chopped olives. A smear of mayonnaise helps stick the whole thing together.

Creamy Pasta

Forget boxed macaroni and cheese — what kids really like are noodles bathed in a creamy sauce. This is a fine alternative to the packaged stuff. Instead, make the sauce by blending cottage cheese with milk in a food processor. It’s not yellow, but it has that creamy, cheesy taste. Make sure to blend the sauce well so that it won’t be chalky. This is a good sauce for penne or fusilli (though other kinds of pasta will work). You can add vegetables, like broccoli, which really catches the sauce.

Mâche Salad With Yogurt Dressing

Mâche Salad With Yogurt Dressing

Mâche is a delicate green also known as lamb’s lettuce, and it’s now available in many Whole Foods stores and other supermarkets in the United States. It has a rich nutritional profile: It is very high in vitamin C, beta carotene, omega-3s and iron (it has even more than spinach). I love the contrast here between the mild, subtle mâche and the sharp, pungent garlic-spiked yogurt.

Cornmeal and Oatmeal Polenta With Tomato Sauce and Parmesan

I think I like this combination even more than I like traditional cornmeal polenta, and that's saying a lot. The oatmeal contributes both texture and a wonderful creaminess to the dish. It’s a comforting, satisfying meal.
