Monday's Leftovers: Quick Cioppino
The beginning of the workweek is always on the strenuous side, so keep Monday nights as effortless as possible by selecting a swift dinner recipe that calls for ingredients you've already got on hand.

Sunday Dinner: Halibut With Leeks, Mushrooms, and Clams
There's no better way to really catch Fall fever than to prepare a steamy seafood dish that also incorporates the season's top produce picks.

The resulting meal, which is delicate both in texture and flavor, makes for an enjoyable end to the weekend.
Definition: Branzino
A silver-skinned fish found in European sea and saltwater lakes, branzino goes by many names, including European sea bass, spigola, loup de mer, róbalo, and lubina.
The fish, which ranges in size from one and a half to three pounds, has a firm, white, delicate-flavored flesh and few small bones. It's a prized fish in Italian, Spanish, and Greek cuisines, and is often prepared grilled, baked, poached, steamed, or braised whole.

Sole Inspired by Julia
Whenever I chat with someone about the film Julie & Julia, it seems the famous recipe for beef Borgignonne enters the conversation. However, when I watched the movie it wasn't this dish that stood out in my mind. It was the sole meuniere — the life-changing fish that Julia enjoyed upon her arrival in France — that I long to taste.
