What to Cook This Weekend

In case you're looking for a cooking project this weekend, here are a few ideas.

• Green Tomato Parmesan from Volume 2 (Tomatoes might not be in season yet, but you can satisfy your craving with green tomatoes, which work beautifully when fried and layered into a cheesy casserole.)

• Strawberry Handpies from Volume 3 (Basically, you should be making everything out of Susan Spungen’s ode to Strawberries right now, but we really love this recipe. Make a double batch and freeze the pies (unbaked); you’ll thank us later.)

• Spiced Carrot Cecina from Volume 17 (Haven’t you heard? It's the year of the pulses, and chickpeas, especially chickpea flour, are having a moment in the spotlight. If you've never cooked with chickpea flour before, get started with Victoria Granof’s recipe for a carrot-studded chickpea pancake.)
