QUINCE TURNOVERS
Browning the butter before cooking the quince adds a layer of flavor to these pastries without obscuring the fruit. If you have some cinnamon on hand, stir in a pinch when you add the sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to brown. Add the quince and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and nicely browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and 1/4 cup water, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is syrupy and the quince is tender, 4 to 5 minutes more. Stir in the salt. Transfer the mixture to a metal bowl and refrigerate to cool, about 10 minutes.
- Fill a small bowl with water. Dice the remaining 4 tablespoons cold butter into bits and fold it into the fruit. Dust a cutting board with flour and roll out the puff pastry to a 12-inch square. Cut into 4 6-inch squares.
- Brush the edges of one of the pastry squares with water. Spoon 1/2 cup of the filling into the center of the square and spread it out a bit towards 2 opposite corners. Fold the dough diagonally over the filling to make a triangle and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and filling. Arrange the turnovers 2-inches apart. Make 2 or 3 vents in the top of each turnover with a sharp knife, using the tip to open the vents to expose the fruit (this will prevent the vents from closing in the oven). If your kitchen is very hot, pop each turnover in the freezer while you work and cut vents them when they are chilled. You can fill and freeze the turnovers for up to 5 days before baking; add an additional 5 minutes to the baking time.
- Bake the turnovers until deep golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes. Place the pan on a rack and let the turnovers cool for 5 minutes before serving. The turnovers can also be served at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When it begins to foam, add the mushrooms, leeks and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the curry powder, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring. Add the cauliflower, tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir, scraping up the spice paste from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce has thickened and the cauliflower is tender, about 4 minutes. Remove the lid and, if necessary, continue to cook until the sauce is a thick, almost paste-like consistency and coats the vegetables, about 1 minute more. Transfer the filling to a medium bowl, and let cool completely. Stir in the peas.
- Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface, and roll it out into a 12-inch square.
- Quarter the dough to make 4 equal squares. Put a quarter of the filling in the center of each square. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Cheddar on the top of each mound. Brush the edges of each square with the beaten egg, then fold 1 corner on top of the opposite corner, making a triangle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Press along the edges with the back of a fork to create a pattern and seal the turnover. Brush each turnover with egg, and make 3 small slits on the top. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of the remaining Cheddar.
- Bake until the turnovers are golden brown and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve hot with mango chutney if using.

SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY
Many Thai dishes are not unlike what we call curries, but although they may contain curry powder, they are more often based on a combination of herbs and aromatic vegetables, rather than dried spices. A typical curry might feature a mixture of garlic, shallots, chiles, lime leaf, sugar and galangal (or ginger). This simplified version leaves out the lime leaf and sugar, but benefits from the addition of a couple spoonfuls of fish sauce at the end of cooking. It is brightly flavored, but blessedly easy to toss together on a weeknight.

EASY CURRIED SHRIMP
This is my mom's recipe - it's very quick to make. I used to make this in college every Friday during Lent. You can make the curry start to finish in the time it takes the rice to cook. The amount of curry and ginger is the starting amount; I use up to twice that much, but adjust it to taste.

Steps:
- Use scissors to cut down the back of the shrimp, through the shell, to remove the vein. Gently loosen the shell around the shrimp, but keep it in place. Set aside. In a mortar, pound the garlic and chilies to a coarse paste (or use a mini food processor or chop to a paste with a knife). Add the sugar and salt and pound or chop to a finer paste. Stir in the coriander, curry and oil.
- Gently pull open the shell of each shrimp and, dividing the coriander paste evenly, push some of it down the back of the shrimp where the vein was and under the shell a bit. Close up the shell around the shrimp. Marinate at room temperature at least 2 hours or, covered, in the refrigerator up to 4 hours.
- Preheat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil the shrimp until the shells are charred on one side and the shrimp is cooked halfway through, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side for 1 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately with the rice.

Tips:
- For the perfect flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening in the dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking to prevent the butter from melting and making the dough tough.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even pieces, this will help prevent the edges from tearing.
- Fill the turnovers generously with the shrimp mixture, but not so much that they burst open during baking.
- Brush the tops of the turnovers with an egg wash before baking to give them a golden brown color.
- Serve the turnovers warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or sriracha.
