Fresh Mozzarella, Heirloom Tomato, and Basil Pizza

Credit: Photo: Justin Walker
View Recipe: Fresh Mozzarella, Heirloom Tomato, and Basil Pizza

Simple cooking brings real pleasure from a few good things. These summer-inspired recipes use only five fresh ingredients and a couple of pantry staples to create fantastically simple and simply fantastic entreés.

This is how the simple cook rolls: store-made dough, thin, with sweet tomatoes and chewy-melty mozzarella. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature before rolling it out. If it still shrinks back when you start to work with the dough, let it rest for another 10 minutes, and then try again. For a pretty finishing touch, save a few small basil leaves to sprinkle over the top after it cooks.

Pantry Checklist:

  • Refrigerated fresh pizza dough
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Garlic cloves
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese
  • Heirloom tomatoes

Hands-on: 22 minutes
Total: 55 minutes

Be sure to buy fresh, never-frozen fish, summer corn on the cob and in the husks, and your favorite bacon. Applewood-smoked bacon is more subtle than hickory or mesquite and won't clobber all of the other ingredients. Just a spritz of fresh lime juice brings the flavors into perfect balance.

Wasabi Pea Tofu with Red Cabbage Leeks

Credit: Photo: Brian Woodcock
View Recipe: Wasabi Pea Tofu with Red Cabbage Leeks

This dish is spectacular, as wasabi peas make a delicious breading for tofu. Surprisingly, they lose their bite when cooked but provide intriguing flavor and crunch in the slightly sweet, salty crust. Look for cans of the peas in the Asian food section of your supermarket or in the bulk bin of some large grocery stores. A few crushed peas get sprinkled on top of the finished dish for added crunch and a pop of pungency.

Pantry Checklist

  • Tofu
  • Cabbage
  • Leeks
  • Wasabi Peas
  • Egg

Credit: Photo: Brian Woodcock
View Recipe: Roasted Shrimp with Mushrooms, Broccolini, and Foaming Chive Butter Sauce

This dish is simplicity itself: Everything cooks on a roasting pan in a very hot oven in stages for just 12 minutes, and the foaming chive butter sauce takes only 2 minutes on the stovetop. Be sure to add the minced chives at the last moment after the pot comes off the heat; cooking will turn the chives bitter.

Pantry Checklist:

  • Broccolini
  • Shiitake Mushroom Caps
  • Shrimp
  • Chives
  • Unsalted Butter
