Chicken and Celery Pot Stickers
Traditional pot stickers, complete with fresh dough and the requisite number of pleats, are best saved for a special occasion. This version, made with store-bought wonton wrappers, is easy enough for a weeknight meal.
Pizza Margherita
The secret to a great pizza Margherita is to use the best ingredients you can find—and to approach them with restraint. (Just because a little cheese is good doesn’t mean a lot will be better!)
Indian Shrimp Curry
You can tell this recipe hails from a tropical environment because of the way the first bite of chiles causes a light sweat to break out on your brow.
Bean and Prosciutto “Negimaki”
It looks like a Japanese roll—but it’s not! Green beans stand in for the traditional scallion; thin slices of prosciutto replace beef.
Asian Noodles with Chicken and Scallions
Take a tip from Asian home cooks and use bottled sauces to your advantage in this sweet and spicy take on a favorite takeout dish.
Stir-Fried Pork with Long Beans
Pounding the spice paste with a mortar and pestle is hard work, but Prasan (“Pip”) Fargrajang insists that’s what brings out all the nuanced flavors.
Pizza with Fontina, Prosciutto, and Arugula
No time to heat up a pizza stone? This easy alternative method yields a crisp crust in just minutes. Good-quality cheese, olive oil, and prosciutto go a long way toward making the pie truly memorable.
Beef Pot Stickers
Garlic chives smell more pungent than they taste and are wonderful when cooked. (Keep them wrapped well in your refrigerator.)
Thai-Style Chicken Soup with Basil
This soup has many layers of complexity, but the overall effect is of cleanness and freshness—in short, well worth a trip to an Asian market.
Arugula and Ricotta Calzones
Using prepared pizza dough, you can make these homemade cheese-filled calzones just as fast as your favorite pizzeria could deliver them.
Carrot-Beef “Sushi” with Caper-Basil Mustard
Trompe l’oeil as much as hors d’oeuvres, these rolls use carrot where nori would usually be at a sushi bar and boneless beef top loin instead of tuna. 
Jamaican Beef Dumplings
Bring the oil to a boil with a deep-fried take on dumplings starring ground beef spiced with curry powder, thyme, and hot sauce.
Ginger Carrot Dip with Crudités
This faintly sweet, gingery dip, reminiscent of that addictive Japanese-restaurant salad dressing, is made mostly from carrots, so you’ll be delighted by the compulsive dipping and crunching that’s bound to ensue when you put it out.
