Raspberry Jam with Bitters
Adding a full tablespoon of cocktail bitters toward the end of making this jam does wonders to bring out the berry flavor. Spoon onto toast with ricotta, or enjoy by the spoonful.

Paccheri With Shellfish, Squid, and Tomatoes
Yes, seafood cooks quickly, but sometimes it's worth it to spend some time building layers of flavor into a sauce as you would with a big pot of ragù.

Romano Beans With Mustard Vinaigrette and Walnuts
Romano beans, also known as Italian pole beans, are wide and flat and have a less delicate texture than green beans but share their mild and sweet flavor.

Be sure to roll the meatballs firmly into the millet so that the tiny grains don't fall off during frying.

Tomatoes and Haricots Verts With Anchovies
This time anchovies are not optional. They're an integral ingredient here, and it's worth seeking out quality brands. We love the oil-packed ones from Ortiz, Agostino Recca, and Merro.

Grilled Red Mullet with Charred Onions and Pine Nuts
The textured sweet-and-sour condiment (agrodolce) would also be excellent spooned over vegetables or chicken or tossed with cooked grains.

Grain Salad with Tomatoes and Cucumbers
We call for semi-pearled grains because they cook more quickly and have a roughened-up texture that helps them soak up the dressing. Browning them first deepens their flavor.

Peanut Drinking Snack
This spicy, sour, salty, crunchy mix isn't your typical roasted bar nuts. Fresh lime juice, red onion, chiles, and cilantro give it amazing flavor. It's best served with spoons for scooping into your palm.

Ramp Fritters
These crispy little fritters taste like a three-way cross between onion tempura, blooming onion, and onion rings. If you can't find ramps, use thin scallions.

There's no reason to make this savory fruit salad unless the peaches you have are worth celebrating or you can get your hands on some superb nectarines.
