Haricot Vert Salad with Quail Eggs and Shrimp

Go to Recipe

Christophe Emé says this is the kind of food his mother, Maryvonne, used to make when he was growing up in the Loire valley. Everything came from their backyard: the beans, the shallots, the laitue (similar to Boston lettuce), the eggs. His mother even made vinegar for the dressing. Emé refines and updates the recipe by using quail eggs instead of hen eggs and substituting arugula for the lettuce. Maryvonne used peanut oil in the dressing, as is traditional in the Loire, but Emé opts for olive oil instead.

Poached Eggs with Parmesan and Smoked Salmon Toasts

Go to Recipe

Dipping a crispy toast finger (the French call it a mouillette) in a soft egg yolk has to be one of life's great pleasures. "When I was a kid, I loved it," says Jean-Georges Vongerichten. In this adult version, he wraps smoked salmon around half of the toasts and sprinkles the rest with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, so it melts and forms a salty crust when baked.

Shrimp Fried Rice

Go to Recipe

Rice is a staple at every Malaysian meal, so there are always plenty of leftovers—which are, in fact, what you want when you're making fried rice. This rice dish is seasoned with belacan (shrimp paste), oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper, but it's the pickled mustard greens that provide a memorably tangy punch.
