Chilies, lime juice and mint enhance the flavor of our Thai Summer Rolls .

The trick to this tasty combo is slicing the tomatoes ultra-thin. For added ease, buy presliced salmon at the supermarket.

Pulse the food processor on and off a few times to give this spread the right texture.

Be sure to cook the beef just to rare or medium-rare. This way, the meat won't overcook or dry out when you use the leftovers in the other recipes.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Delicious after dinner with coffee.

This pretty side dish (the onions open up like flowers) would be great alongside steak or roast chicken.

The Italian answer to a French gratin: a dish baked with a crispy cheese (as in this recipe) or breadcrumb topping.

These fried cheese crisps are fun to make, so enlist a few guests to help if you decide to make them at the last minute.

Blood oranges have a thinner and less bitter peel than navel oranges, so it's okay to eat—as in this dessert.

The marmalade can also be served with a cheese plate or simply spread on toast.

For a lemony twist, reduce the vanilla extract to 3/4 teaspoon and add 1 1/4 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel.

Basic is best when it comes to piecrust. There's no need to fiddle with this multipurpose flaky pastry.

Don't let the much-touted health benefits of this fluffy grain put you off—it also happens to be absolutely delicious. The light, lemony taste of this version makes it a great accompaniment to a whole host of dishes, and it pairs particularly well with the Spicy Calamari with Bacon and Scallions.

Sautéing the squid in the bacon fat adds tons of flavor to the seafood itself. Fried calamari with marinara sauce will be but a distant memory once you try this.

Here's an idea: Save a few of the toasted pumpkin seeds to use as a garnish. That little bit of extra crunch will complement the sweet, succulent squash beautifully.
