Eggs Kejriwal
This spicy egg-and-cheese on toast has its roots in the social-club circuit of Mumbai, though chefs in London, New York and Oakland have riffed on it recently, too. The dish is quick and simple, ideal for breakfast or a hearty snack between meals, and can be customized with a variety of cheeses and toppings. To make this updated Eggs Kejriwal, toast good bread and smear it with mustard, then pile on some grated cheese mixed up with chopped up green chiles, red onion and cilantro leaves. Once the cheese is bubbling under the broiler, just slide on a fried egg.
Roasted Carrot Salad With Arugula and Pomegranate
This composed, bright salad of roasted carrots, thinly sliced fennel and arugula gains a fruity depth from a splash of pomegranate molasses in the dressing. You can find pomegranate molasses in Middle Eastern groceries and specialty food shops, and it’s worth seeking out for its complex, sweet-tart acidity. Once opened, it will last for years in your pantry. This salad makes a delightful side dish or light main course, especially if you include the optional toasted walnuts or pita chips, which add a satisfying crunch. If you can find multicolored carrots, this already striking salad becomes even prettier.
Kohlrabi Fritters with Meadow Parsley
The sweetness of kohlrabi goes well with the bitter onion-parsley and flavour of the meadow parsley in this fritters recipe. Use potatoes and eggs, too.
Classic Tiramisù
Done correctly, a classic tiramisù can be transcendent. A creamy dessert of espresso-soaked ladyfingers surrounded by lightly sweetened whipped cream and a rich mascarpone, tiramisù relies heavily on the quality of its ingredients. If you don’t have a barista setup at home, pick up the espresso at a local coffee shop, or use strongly brewed coffee. As for the ladyfingers, make your own or buy them, but keep in mind that store-bought varieties can range from soft and spongy (like angel food cake) to hard and crunchy (like biscotti). Both kinds will work here, but if you're using the softer variety, stick to a light brushing of espresso, instead of a deep dip.
Spring Salad with Citrus and Roasted Asparagus
As signs of spring approach, the citrus season is almost over, but grilling season steps up the pace. Four ingredients that provide varying textures and flavors combine to offer a refreshing salad that is dressed in lemony goodness. The great thing about this salad is you can use any citrus, and experiment with other roasted vegetables
Mario Batali's Snappy Celery and White Bean Salad
This White Bean Celery Salad recipe is not groundbreaking or experimental. But it’s healthy and available in most bodegas. Serve salad at room temperature.
Baked Oatmeal With Berries and Almonds
A fruit-filled take on an Amish recipe, this homey baked oatmeal is crunchy from chopped almonds but still soft and comforting from the buttery egg custard that suffuses the oats. You can use any fruit here instead of — or in combination with — the berries. Cubed apples or pears, bananas, pineapple or even mango will add a sweet juiciness to the mix. And for something even richer, serve this doused in heavy cream.
Cacio e Pepe Brussels Sprouts
With only five ingredients, this cacio e pepe brussels sprouts recipe is simple and stunning show stoppers. —Elizabeth Stoltz
Spicy Feta Dip
One of my favorite kind of mezze is spicy feta dip. The savory little appetizer was one of my favorite menu items at local greek restaurants in Astoria, Queens such as Elias Corner. Perhaps the best version came from a now closed gourmet shop on the Upper East Side which I believe was called litsitakos(sp?). They had great produce, prepared foods, cheese, salumi and made THE best pastistsio, moussaka, and spreads, in particular this feta dip. The people that worked there did so for over 20 years and were all phenomenal people from Greece, bangladesh and Ecuador. I never got the recipe but I knew it had jalapeño, feta and a little oregano. After trying out a bunch of different combinations, I came up with the closest possible version! Love this with fresh pita, baguette, crackers or crudite! It's hands down the most loved snack over the many years I had people over to my apt.

Ratatouille
In this classic Provençal dish, summer vegetables, like eggplant, onions, peppers, tomatoes and zucchini, are covered in olive oil and roasted separately, then all together, until they become a soft, harmonious stew. This recipe calls for seeding and peeling the tomatoes, which is a bit of work. But it’s worth it for the intensity of flavor and the velvety texture. Ratatouille takes some time to make, and tastes better the next day, so plan ahead. The upside is that it’s a perfect make-ahead dish for a party. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, then gently reheat it, or bring it to room temperature before serving.

Omelet
This recipe is for a basic French omelet with three eggs: enough for a hearty breakfast or brunch, or a light supper for one. The key to mastering this recipe is controlling the heat so the eggs do not brown, and whisking the eggs in the skillet so they set on the exterior but remain fluffy inside. A good nonstick or well-seasoned carbon-steel skillet is central to cooking the ideal omelet, which should be tender and slightly runny. Once you’ve got the technique down, you can play around with your seasonings, adding minced herbs, grated cheese, diced ham or sautéed vegetables.

Cabbage melted in butter and cumin
Cabbage has become my favorite winter vegetable: It's earthy, filling and a bargain. I started making cabbage this way a few years ago. I got the idea from an Indian friend, who one holiday quickly sauteed cabbage in butter and black mustard seeds for a last-minute side dish. Here, I opt for slower cooking to yield more umami flavor and silkier results. Plus, the transformation of a heaping pile of raw shards into something manageable and yummy requires mindless attention. It's a good meditation, tending the cabbage as it melts. If you can't get to yoga, get out the butter and a sharp knife and try this.
