Semifreddo, Many Ways - The Bittman Project

Semifreddo, Many Ways

Semifreddo (“half frozen” in Italian) is basically whipped cream mixed with beaten egg yolks and beaten egg whites and then frozen in a loaf pan — what you get is akin to ice cream, rich and velvety, with no need for an ice cream machine.

Crispy-Skin Salmon, Grilled or Broiled, with Gingery Greens - The Bittman Project

Crispy-Skin Salmon, Grilled or Broiled, with Gingery Greens

Still one of my all-time favorite recipes, with the rich flavor of salmon cut by sharp greens and bright ginger. You have some choices when it comes to the vegetable: Substitute green beans, asparagus, any kind of peas, or even grated sweet potato for the greens if you like; add a minute or two to the cooking time as necessary.

Chicken Escabeche

Cooks in Spain, the Caribbean, and some South American countries have this excellent technique of marinating food after cooking. If you’re not in a huge hurry, you can hold off on the garnish and refrigerate this Chicken Escabeche for as little as 1 hour or up to 24 hours, but even 10 minutes of marinating in the tangy, slightly hot dressing will be noticeable.

The Best Toast You'll Ever Eat

Grilled Paneer Masala

Traditionally the cheese in this Indian dish would be pan-fried, then added to the vegetable sauce. The grill changes everything. Look for paneer in natural food stores or Indian markets. If you can’t find it, substitute halloumi or queso fresco, which also won’t lose their shape when grilled directly over the fire. Serve this with basmati rice, chapati, or naan.

Funnel Cake

This state fair favorite gets its name and its distinctive swirled shape because it’s poured into the oil through a funnel (although the job can be done with a pastry bag, zipper bag, or squeeze bottle). It’s fun to eat and could hardly be simpler to make.
