I love a classic braise —a long, slow simmer in the oven turns even the toughest cuts into meltingly tender meat.

You may need to make this in 1 or 2 batches depending on the size of your skillet. Serve with a nice summer side, such as corn on the cob or a tomato salad.

A charcoal fire results in the best-tasting fish here.

Nothing beats a Mexican-inspired supper for highlighting homemade pickles.

This fall-fruit and vegetable combination is a lovely filling for a savory Rustic Tart.

This classic combination of cabbage, apples, onions, and gruyère cheese makes a delicious filling for a savory Rustic Tart.

A crisp quesadilla with great fall flavors makes a delicious supper for two with a bowl of soup.

Chef and fish purveyor Mike Holtham cooks his fluke this way at home, and says all that’s needed as an accompaniment is a tomato or leafy green garden salad.

Dress the beans while they’re still slightly warm and serve this salad at room temperature (not cold) for the best flavor. Great for a potluck, this also makes a nice supper with grilled tuna or swordfish.
