DILL CUCUMBER SLICES
Pickling is an essential skill for preserving the bounty that comes from the agrarian South. Here, two sons of the South - the cookbook authors Matt and Ted Lee - use the traditional boiling-pot method to preserve cucumber slices. Packing slices instead of whole cucumbers allows greater volume per jar, and slices are easier to serve. These pickles, adapted from a recipe used at Stone Barns in New York, get some slight heat and personality from garlic and chilies. The latter can be omitted for a milder end result.

CUCUMBER CUPS WITH DILL CREAM AND SMOKED SALMON
Classic combos are classic because the flavors go well together! Dill, cucumber, and smoked fish are combined with a bit of lemon to perk things up. Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre. Cucumber cups can be assembled and kept chilled in an airtight container 1 day ahead of time.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh cucumbers that are firm and have no blemishes.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers.
- Be sure to soak the cucumber slices in ice water for at least 30 minutes before assembling the rounds. This will help to remove some of the bitterness from the cucumbers.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the dill sauce. Some good options include fresh dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Be sure to chill the cucumber dill rounds for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help to allow the flavors to meld.
