Stone Fruit Caprese

A standout caprese starts with great fruit. You need ripe tomatoes to weep juices, which then mingle with grassy olive oil and milky cheese to make your dressing. Basil adds freshness, black pepper and flakes of sea salt add crunch, and that’s it, a perfect combination. But if the stone fruit options are looking better than the tomatoes at the market, you can use them instead. They’re similar in flavor to tomatoes, but need cajoling to relinquish their juices. By letting sliced fruit macerate with salt, sugar and lemon juice, their fruitiness becomes more electric and their juices pool on the plate. Start with fruit you can smell and pair it with equally quality ingredients. Caprese is more about shopping than cooking.

Maple Sweet Potatoes With Crispy Almonds and Sage

Drizzled with maple syrup and roasted until caramelized, these sweet potatoes make an easy autumnal side dish to serve as part of a larger festive spread, and can be served both warm or at room temperature. If getting ahead, make the crunchy, garlicky almond-and-sage topping well in advance to be spooned on top when needed. Be sure not to walk away when frying the garlic, as it can quickly turn bitter if over-fried, so stir often and adjust the heat as necessary.

Mudslide Cookies

Rye flour is the secret to these gooey, super-chocolatey cookies. Because rye is a soft grain that doesn't develop gluten when mixed, these cookies have an unbelievably tender crumb, plus the benefit of a sweet, grassy flavor, also from the rye. Toasted pecans and chocolate chips provide a bit of texture. —Matthew James Duffy in his book, "Bread Etc.: Recipes + Techniques for Baking with Sourdough, Yeasted Dough, Pizza Dough + More"
