Warm Corn Salad With Bacon
Crunchy Burmese Ginger Salad
Many Burmese dishes carry the scents and flavors of neighboring India and China. In this salad, the dried shrimp of Yunnan, the part of China that borders Myanmar, mingle with crisped shallots, tangy lime and crunchy roasted peanuts for wild contrast and crunch.

Warm Lamb and New Potato Salad
Fast Vietnamese Caramel Bluefish
The first bluefish catch marks the beginning of summer in the Northeast, where the rich-tasting fish are plentiful, inexpensive and sustainable. Bluefish are best enjoyed very fresh, so make sure to get yours from a reliable source. Eaten within a day or two of catching, the flesh is sweet and flaky, with a deep ocean flavor. In this recipe, fillets are simmered in a brown sugar, ginger and soy sauce mixture that mimics the peppery flavors of a classic Vietnamese caramel fish, but without having to make caramel. The result is complex, tangy, slightly sweet and comes together in under 30 minutes. And if you can’t get bluefish, other full-flavored fillets can be substituted. And if you can’t find lemongrass, use strips of lemon or lime zest instead.
Pork Tenderloin With Apples
Lavash Pizza With Smoked Salmon
This is inspired by Wolfgang Puck’s signature smoked salmon pizza, and it’s a great way to work more salmon, rich in omega-3 fats, into your diet. The trick here is to bake the lavash just until the edges are crisp, but not so long that it’s too crisp all the way through to cut easily.
Petits Pois A La Francaise (Small Peas With Shredded Lettuce)
Chana Dal, New Delhi-Style
Julie Sahni, an Indian cooking teacher, cookbook author and chef, says that in much of Indian cooking, the less you fuss with beans, the better they cook. This recipe, for spiced split chickpeas, calls for a mathani, a sort of hand blender, but if you don’t have one and don’t want to buy one, a potato masher will do the trick.
Garlic Roast Pork Loin
Lavash Pizza With Onions and Anchovies
This is inspired by the Provençal onion pizza called pissaladière. Omit the anchovies if you’re watching your sodium intake or you’re just not a fan.
Lavash Pizza With Zucchini and Goat Cheese Topping
Certain dishes are perfect for zucchini, and this is one of them. It looks beautiful here, and the goat cheese and mint are perfect partners.
Spiced Shrimp Salad
Roast Guinea Hen with Grilled Radicchio
Roasted Turkey Drumsticks With Star Anise and Soy Sauce
Back in 2011, Melissa Clark revisited the turkey. “Just because we don’t think to make it the star of a meal in May doesn’t mean turkey won’t taste as good as it did in November,” she wrote. She took several approaches: cooking the parts separately, then braising them slowly; simmering ground turkey with pancetta for a ragù; and this one, where turkey drumsticks are coated in a mixture featuring soy sauce, honey and star anise, then cooked in a 400-degree oven. It’s a worthy weekend meal, or one for a weekday when work gets out early. Pair it with white rice, to sop up the reserved marinade.
Easy Chicken Curry
Weeknight cooking doesn't get any easier than this endlessly adaptable five-ingredient, 30-minute curry from Mark Bittman. Sauté a pile of chopped onions in a little oil, then stir in curry powder (or red curry paste for Thai flavors). Pour in a can of coconut milk and swirl to combine. Add chicken, simmer until it's cooked through and finish with some chopped tomatoes. And dinner is served! This recipe lends itself to experimentation, so change it up. Be generous with spices. Toss in chopped bell pepper or carrots with the onions. Add a can of drained chickpeas or a generous handful of fresh spinach with the tomatoes. Instead of chicken, try shrimp, duck, turkey, firm fish, tofu, lump crab meat or beef. Just watch the cooking time: Fish, shrimp and crab cook faster than other meats. Also, don't forget to season as you go with salt and pepper.
Shaved Fennel And Parmesan Salad
Pork Chops With Rye-Bread Stuffing
Bosnian Bread
In 2011, John T. Edge wrote an article about the growing popularity of Bosnian bakeries in St. Louis. This recipe for a simple white bread ran alongside it and came from his wife, Blair Hobbs. She adapted it from Jubilee Partners, an organization in Comer, Ga. that hosts refugees new to the United States, and other sources.

Toasted Irish Oatmeal With Apple Cider
Rainbow Beef
In this version of a stir-fry classic I am using less beef than a typical recipe would call for and adding in some shiitake mushrooms and extra peppers.
