Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚. Whisk the eggs, 1/4 cup yogurt, the dill, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in an 8-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Pour in the egg mixture. As the edges start to set, scrape them with a rubber spatula and push the cooked egg toward the middle of the pan. Continue doing this until the eggs are about half cooked, 2 to 3 minutes, then stop stirring and let the edges set, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle the feta on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is set and just a little soft in the middle when pressed, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool in the skillet for a few minutes, then slide out onto a cutting board.
- Meanwhile, slice the cucumbers and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Let sit 5 minutes, then drain off any liquid. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Warm the pitas in the oven, about 3 minutes; tear into quarters. Cut the frittata into wedges and divide among plates along with the cucumber salad and pita. Top the cucumber salad with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the pomegranate seeds.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Add the zucchini. Cook, stirring, until the zucchini begins to wilt, about two minutes. Stir in the garlic. Cook for another minute or until the zucchini has just wilted - it should still be bright green. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl with the goat cheese. Add salt and pepper, and stir in the zucchini and the dill.
- Clean and dry the pan, and return to the burner, set on medium-high. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
- Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that it doesn't burn. The bottom should have a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
- Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, and shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking. Allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

FRITTATA

HERB-AND-OLIVE FRITTATA
In this recipe, herbs are the focus, but to use herbs on a grand scale, it helps to know which ones work in that role and which ones don't. Parsley, obviously, works in abundance: it's clean-tasting, pleasantly grassy and almost never overwhelming. You can add literally a bunch (bunches!) of it to salad, soup, eggs, pasta, grains or beans. The same is largely true of basil, and you can use other mild herbs - chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, shiso - by at least the handful. (Mint is also useful but will easily take over a dish if you add too much of it.) I put most other herbs - epazote, lavender, marjoram and oregano, rosemary, sage, tarragon and thyme - in the category of strong herbs, which must be used more sparingly than mild herbs. You usually don't want to use more than a tablespoon or so of strong herbs in a dish. This frittata uses generous amounts of both parsley and basil and lesser amounts of dill, mint, rosemary or thyme.

Steps:
- Put the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the olives and herbs and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, milk, flour and some salt and pepper.
- Turn heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, using a spoon if necessary to evenly distribute the herbs and olives. Cook, undisturbed, until the eggs are just set, 5 to 10 minutes. (You can set the top further by putting the pan in an oven at 350 for a few minutes or by running it under the broiler for a minute or two.) Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

SALMON AND DILL FRITTATA
Salmon, dill and potatoes are perfect partners in this version of this classic Italian dish, which would be perfect for lunch or a light supper. A frittata is an Italian egg dish, similar in composition to an omelette, but the other ingredients, such as cheese or vegetables, are mixed into the eggs rather than used as a filling. Most variants of the frittata start with a few moments on the stove top until the bottom layer of the egg mixture has solidified, and then are placed under a hot broiler or baked in the oven to finish cooking.

Steps:
- Put the salmon in a medium saucepan with the bay leaf and peppercorns, cover with water and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 5-10 minutes until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the liquid, flake into a bowl and leave to cool.
- In a non-stick frying pan, heat the oil over a low heat and gently sweat the onion and potato for 20 minutes, covering with a lid, large plate or aluminium foil.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and dill together and lightly season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Preheat the broiler. Add the salmon to the potato and onion and pour the cream mixture over. Increase the heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until the egg has started to set.
- Put the frying pan under the hot broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden. If no grill is available, put a lid on the pan and continue to cook until the frittata is set.
- Cut into large slices and serve with a lightly dressed green salad.
