Red Snapper Ceviche

Go to Recipe

Allen Susser prefers to use firm white-fleshed fish like red snapper and grouper, as well as conch and rock shrimp, for ceviches, because they keep their shape well. "Dice the fish into uniform pieces, so they cook evenly in the citrus juice," he advises.

Braised Chicken Legs with Green Olives

Go to Recipe

In his book Braise, Daniel Boulud braises duck legs for several hours until they are meltingly tender and incredibly flavorful. A shortcut: Braising chicken in a liquid that combines onions, carrots, bacon and olives creates complex flavor relatively quickly.

Vegetable Ragout with Fresh Herbs

Go to Recipe

Jeremiah Tower began his cooking career at Chez Panisse in 1972, and in 1984 opened San Francisco's once-celebrated Stars. By the mid-1980s he had become one of America's first celebrity chefs—posing for a Dewar's ad and pausing for autographs. If you don't have time to prepare all of the vegetables called for in Tower's ragout recipe, select at least three, making sure to use a variety of colors.
