Grapefruit Fluff Recipe
This recipe first came to The Times in 1941, published under the rather humdrum title “Grapefruit Dessert,” only to be revived in 2010, as part of Amanda Hesser’s Recipe Redux column Adapted from Maurice Gonneau, the executive chef at the Park Lane and the Chatham in New York City, this recipe is whipped up with just a few items you may already have on hand: egg whites, sugar, grapefruits, and a bit of brandy The end result is, Hesser wrote, “the love child of broiled grapefruit and baked Alaska,” a dish “as joyful as it is unexpected.” A photo accompanying the column bears an enticement, and a mild warning: “This dessert is best served to good friends with an appreciation for weird and delicious treats.” Find those friends, and you have a dish worth sharing.

Tomato, Prosciutto, and Gruyère Sandwiches
Daniel Humm's broiled open-face cheese sandwiches make a terrific snack or a decadent lunch. They evoke classic Swiss fondue because they combine bubbling-hot Gruyère with white wine and kirsch, a cherry-flavored spirit.

Twice-Baked Sour Cherry Pie Recipe
Here is an intensely buttery, crispy-crust pie that exudes loads of syrupy cherry nectar when you plunge in the knife In a quirk of pie-making tradition, open-faced pies, like custards, chocolate cream or pumpkin chiffon, get the best crust — pre-baked shells that are flaky, crisp and golden But fruit pies, baked with raw dough that is often pale and soggy, get short shrift
