Grilled cheese is elemental. All you need is the right cheese (I like Gruyere or sharp cheddar), the right bread (I go for a soft sandwich bread), a little butter and a pan, and you’re on the way to a quick, simple, satisfying meal. Or at least the main thrust of one, rounded out by good old tomato soup and/or a salad.

But you don’t need a recipe for a plain grilled cheese sandwich, do you? What you need is a recipe that takes grilled cheese to the next level with just a couple of smart additions, like the ones Raquel Pelzel offers in her terrific new book, Umami Bomb. She focuses on ingredients that can add umami, the delectable fifth taste that’s sometimes called savory. But not just a touch of umami. As you can tell by the title, this is about a real punch of flavor, about vegetarian recipes that, as she says in the subtitle, “explode with flavor.”

The umami-rich ingredients include aged cheeses, soy sauce, tomatoes, mushrooms, smoke, nutritional yeast and, in the case of these sandwiches, caramelized onions and miso.

This super-fresh salad will surely have you seeing green — even though it doesn’t call for any leafy lettuces. We tossed zucchini noodles with a sweet and spicy honey jalapeño lime vinaigrette, added plenty of chopped fresh cilantro, and finished things off with a handful of salted pistachios to create the ultimate vibrant summer side.

It’s exactly the thing to serve alongside burgers, hot dogs, chicken, fish, or just about anything else you’re pulling off the grill this summer.

Summer meals practically require something bright and crisp on the side. Let this zoodle salad be your go-to this year. It’s easy enough to spiralize zucchini yourself, but if you don’t want to bother or don’t own a spiralizer, you can find store-bought zoodles in most grocery stores. Raw zucchini noodles have a nice al dente bite to them, and don’t need much more than a simple vinaigrette to make them shine.

In this recipe, that vinaigrette is a jalapeño number, brought to life with a touch of honey and Dijon, plenty of lime juice, and some fresh cilantro. A final sprinkling of whole pistachios not only add a salty kick to every twirl, but also brings a nice bit of meaty crunch.

If you’re looking for a comforting one-pot meal that will please the whole family, look no further than this creamy chicken and rice stovetop casserole. Tender chicken, onions, and sweet peas cook together with long-grain rice in a creamy cheddar and thyme-scented sauce for a fast and hearty weeknight dinner.

The rice cooks right in the sauce, and everything’s done on the stovetop so that dinner can be on the table in just about 30 minutes, leaving you with an unfussy one-pot meal and maybe, if you’re lucky, leftovers for lunch.

To create the creamy texture in this dish we take advantage of the starch in the uncooked rice. Much like it does in risotto, the starch from the rice helps to thicken this casserole with some occasional stirring. You end up with one less ingredient to add and a creamy rice dish that’s deliciously gluten-free.
