Grape and Cucumber Gazpacho
This riff on Spain’s classic tangy-sweet “white” gazpacho is made with Persian cucumbers, which are tender enough to use peel and all. (If you can’t find them, substitute peeled English cucumbers.) The drizzle of olive oil at the end brings the flavors together, so use the best oil in your pantry.

Grilled Moroccan Lamb Kebabs with Grapes
The grapes on these kebabs caramelize on the grill, and that--along with the complex spices on the lamb--calls for a spicy, juicy wine. Serve the kebabs with hot couscous (we love the large Israeli variety).
Roasted Grapes

Mini Almond and Grape Cakes
Inspired by French financiers, these small cakes are dense with the warm flavors of almond, orange zest, and butter. The grapes become a little jammy after baking, which complements the cakes’ richness.
