Former prez George H.W. Bush may not mourn the end of broccoli season in the Northeast, but I do. California will always keep us supplied, of course, but the deep green heads we've been pulling out of the garden and finding at farmers markets will be missed until next season.

Time to do the vegetable proud with an elegant soup, courtesy of a recipe from blogger latartinegourmande that has Thai flavors of coconut milk and galangal, and is topped with glistening salmon roe. Want broccoli soup that's creamy and traditional and served with croutons and not fish eggs? Try this Kitchen Daily recipe.

Hearty ChiliPhoto: Brown Eyed Baker, Flickr


Is it too early to switch kitchen talk from cool green salads to warm, hearty stews? Never, when it comes to chili. Whether you like a classic chili con carne; a steak-rich smokin' Texas chili; a pork-cannelini bean-and lime juice-based white chili, or a three-bean vegetarian chili, this is the low-cooked, slow-cooked food that seems just right as the leaves start putting on their autumn display.

Blogger browneyedbaker is a chili con carne fan, who, in this recipe, uses cornmeal to thicken the pot. Chef Marcus Samuelsson gives chipotles their moment in the sun in his recipe.

And visit Kitchen Daily for dozens of other chili recipes that are bound to spice up your table.

Put a little green in your chili. No, not green peppers but greens like Swiss chard. Rich, succulent chard adds texture, deep flavor, and, a healthy dose of Vitamins A and C to the mix. This easy recipe comes from blogger veggiefrog, who also piles on the white beans and garlic. (See yesterday's post for more on chili,)

Swiss chard comes in a rainbow of varieties and colors, and a couple of my favorites are 'Rhubarb' and 'Ruby Red'. Its perfect in its simplest form, braised with olive oil and garlic, as in this recipe from Kitchen Daily contributor Alexis Touchet. And if you want to include it in an absolutely delicious one-dish dinner, try contributor Ruth Cousineau's Nutty Swiss Chard, Squash, and Cannelini Bake.

Sweet Potato Black Bean ChiliPhoto: flyzipper, Flickr


Chili with a sweet side? Bring it on. Blogger flyzipper (which, we assume, has nothing to do with food, but let's just stop there) turns up the heat in this vegetarian chili with jalapeños and hot banana peppers, but balances it with sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, and adzuki beans (as well as black beans). Adzuki are the mellow-flavored red beans used well in Asian foods, such as the sweet and sticky daifuku mochi (rice cakes stuffed with red-bean paste).

With pizza in a cone trying to elbow a good old pie out of the way, it's nice to see someone is still heating up the stone and slipping a sausage, broccoli, and cheese pizza into the oven. It's not that I'm anti-cone. It's more that I'm pro-pie.

That said, you can still take the pizza to plenty of places that don't include pepperoni. When you've got a salt jones, try a Canadian bacon and sauerkraut pie, and if you're craving big meat and big cheese try this superquick roast-beef-and-blue-cheese number.

Most of us who belong to a community-supported-agriculture group (CSA), have had the vaguely disappointing experience of opening our share for the week and seeing a big mound of cabbage (or zucchini, or whatever happens to be harvested that week). And what can we do with 6 cabbages? But it's the whimsy of the harvest and you have to get creative.

Blogger everybodylikes sandwiches made her cabbage share into a dinner-worthy salad with red peppers, broccoli, radishes, onion, walnuts, and raisins, and served it with a buttermilk dressing (get her recipe here).

I happen to be a cabbage lover, and so is chef Marcus Samuelsson, who offers up an earthy shiitake mushroom salad that also features Savoy cabbage. And this warm cabbage-and-apple salad with shredded pork is a one-dish meal that tastes of early fall.

The galette is loosey-goosey when it comes to the formality of a tart crust, nicely fluted and symmetrical. Rustic is the word for a galette, which is buttery, flakey, and fruity-everything you want in a tart without the fussiness. Blogger dessertfirst goes two ways with her plum galette, above: one more traditional, with almond frangipane; and the second with a cocoa-kissed crust and a touch of star anise.

Mix up the fruit in these recipes for a blood-orange galette with salted caramel sauce, or a roasted balsamic pear version. Savory ingredients love the galette as well: Try this mushroom-and-leek variation, or a roasted vegetable galette with olives.

You can make a tagine in a regular cast-iron pot with an enameled bottom, but to use the traditional cone-topped ceramic vessel for which the stew is named is to do your cooking a huge favor. The tagine, a North African casserole dish, traps the steam in the cone while the stew is cooking, and sends it back down to the pot. The result? Moist, tender meat and fragrant fruits and vegetables. Bloggers the bittenword combined classic sweet and savory flavors using chicken, apricots, and olives. Experiment with these recipes for Moroccan chicken and couscous, Moroccan chicken breasts, and a chicken tagine with pomegranates.

Are stuffed peppers something you think Betty Draper would have thrown together on the cook's night off? OK, they can be that-but get beyond the rice-ground beef-and-canned tomato soup Mad Men-era version, and kick it. A roasted pepper can cradle turkey sausage and smoked cheese, or shrimp and ricotta salata. It can overflow with chorizo or bulgur.

Onions, especially sweet ones such as Vidalia, make a terrific stuffed side dish, as in this recipe for mushrooms, wild rice, and hazelnuts. Served with a chilled aquavit, this might be a Sterling Cooper man's dream.

Photo: smitten, Flickr


The chunky, herb-fragrant Provençal summer stew of tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers got a serious makeover years back. The king of lean cuisine, French chef Michel Guérard, gave ratatouille a new name, confit bayaldi, cutting out the frying process, and layering the vegetables before baking them. It's a circle of inspiration with this dish: Guérard played with an eggplant-heavy Turkish dish called Imam Bayaldi. Then chef Thomas Keller came along and added a tomato and pepper sauce as a base, and a vinaigrette sprinkled over the top. Blogger smittenkitchen picked up the torch and gave the fanned assembly a personal treatment, and serves it with couscous and a bit of goat's-milk cheese (get her recipe, a variation on Keller's, here).

Visit Kitchen Daily for more recipes for ratatouille, which, given a little experimentation, you can call anything you like.

Hot dog fans, take this out to the ball game. Next time you're about to slather pickle relish on a perfectly grilled burger or frank, switch it up and top it with this relish of corn, onions, and roasted jalapeños and sweet peppers. It's a fairly simple canning project, as you can simply make the relish and pop it in the refrigerator for up to three months. And when you make a pot of chowder this fall, a dose of this stuff will give it some heft.

How close to "from scratch" are you willing to go? Would you, say, grind your own corn for cornmeal? Buy some artisanal stone-ground meal? Or make these corn-and-pepper muffins starting with a box of muffin mix and add some jalapeño chiles and red and green peppers? One is no more noble than the other; it's the simple act of baking them and handing them to people you like that's the thing.

Someone, somewhere is going to grind that corn, though, and if you decide you want to go back to the essentials, you may want to arm yourself with a Vita-Mix blender or a good coffee mill, according to this how-to story in Mother Earth News. A coarse grind will give you plenty of texture, medium is great for breads, and a fine grind is better for dusting baking pans.

Corny may mean "tiresomely simple and sentimental," if you listen to Webster's dictionary, but in the book of late-summer fields, it means "give us more." In our second corn feature of the week, creamy corn chowder goes creamless with soy milk, soy cheese, and even soy yogurt in a vegan chowder recipe from vegalicious. Jalapeño chiles spice up this mellow soup, made with sweet corn and roasted sweet peppers, and topped with a cilantro-cream(that's where the yogurt comes in). And if you want the full-throttle creamy version, try this jalapeño corn chowder recipe from Kitchen Daily.

The long weekend's over, you're back on the job, and maybe you need some comfort food to take the edge off. Our suggestion, via blogger (cup)cake eater, is to treat yourself to a good old country breakfast, and put a batch of fluffy maple corn fritters on the griddle. Comfort food is the star in Joni Marie Newman's vegan cookbook Cozy Inside, and you can check out her fritters recipe here.

Want more corn? It's the height of the season, and we're going to be featuring corn for the rest of the week in recipes that take it off the cob and into a chowder, a relish, and some very spicy muffins.

Ice-cold lemonade making glasses sweat on a shady porch, Paul Newman's steamy-as-the-afternoon Quick flirting with JoAnne Woodward's longing-for-love Clara in The Long, Hot Summer; Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant moaning "The Lemon Song." Squeezed lemons may refresh, but they're also hot. Make a pitcher of lemonade and get busy.

Blogger Fakeginger gives us the recipe, courtesy of Rebecca Rather's Pastry Queen cookbook, for a lemonade that is brimming with fruit-luscious watermelon and berries, and slices of lemons, oranges, and limes. And since it's Labor Day, pull up a chair under a shade tree, turn off the cell phone, wrap your hands around a glass of the cold stuff, and take a good breath of what has been a breathtaking summer.

grilled striped bassPhoto: joshbousel, Flickr


Here's a little "striper" trivia: these big boys can reach a weight of 100 pounds (although most never get larger than 50), and can live up to 40 years. It's actually the big girls that pull in the weight -- female striped bass pack on more pounds than the males. I'm not recommending you throw a three-stone-strong fish on the grill, but it's nice to know they're out there, taunting fishermen with their heft.

Blogger Josh at the Meatwave prepares his striped bass steaks with a spice rub, then grills them and serves the fish with a tomato salsa (get the recipe here). Without the rub, though, fresh-caught striped bass are perfect (try this recipe for grilled bass with lemon and herbs). And it's a sustainable choice -- stocks have been managed so that the population is fairly healthy.

Onion rings are the fried-food lover's way to banish remorse. It's a vegetable, and it has anti-inflammatory properties; maybe it even helps fight cholesterol. So what's a little oil among friends? Works for me. Blogger sweetbeetandgreenbean coats the rings with corn meal and herbs instead of flour, which makes for a crisp batter. (Get the recipe here.) And instead of a big pool of ketchup she spices it up with a curried tomato sauce. (Of course, if you want to cut down on the fat, oven-fry the onions, as in this recipe.) Serving them on a bed of red cabbage adds color and fiber, and, for those of us who live in world where onion rings trump the rings of Saturn, that means it's practically a balanced meal. Or so I say as I reach for another crunchy ring.

The subject is buckwheat. No, not Buckwheat from "Little Rascals," and not Buckwheat Zydeco (although I'd listen to his squeezebox on "Hot Tamale Baby" any day). This is buckwheat as in the whole grain that makes nutty, protein-rich soba noodles, the Japanese answer to what's on for Pasta Night.

Forget about the meat. Slice some firm tofu and sauté it with some scallions, ginger, bok choy, snow peas and serrano chile (and sprinkle a few black and white sesame seeds over the top). Toss the mixture with the soba noodles, for a brothy, healthy, dinner (get the recipe from Whole Living magazine). And while you're at it, put some Buckwheat Zydeco tunes on; there may be some dancing after the last noodle is slurped.

Cool custard is what panna cotta is all about. Add a layer of fruit compote, such as the mango version above, and it's a chill summer dessert. There are no eggs in panna cotta, though the custard is made with cream and gelatin. In fact, according to The Gourmet Cookbook, "panna cotta means 'cooked cream' in Italian," and it's a dessert you need to make at least four hours in advance, so it can set. (Here's a Gourmet recipe for vanilla panna cotta with a fresh mango compote.)

Amp up the creaminess by adding yogurt to the cream. This citrusy panna cotta di casa recipe calls for lemon yogurt, lemon curd and mascarpone cheese, and is served with a blueberry sauce.

Fruit + water + sugar = sorbet. It's simple to make, it's nonfat (unless you use a recipe that contains milk) and it's almost Labor Day already. What are you waiting for? Blogger norwichnuts makes a watermelon-and-lime sorbet, above, that's refreshing and ubercool. Melon and citrus are a great team, reprised in this sorbet recipe from Kitchen Daily that invites you to choose from watermelon, cantaloupe or honeydew to mix it up with orange juice.

Using an ice-cream maker is the key to sorbet, as the action of the blades helps to keep ice crystals from becoming too large. No big chunks of ice; just smooth, frosty, fruity goodness.
