Spaniards have perfected many things, like tapas, wine, and paella. So it’s no surprise they have also mastered gazpacho. This cold, tomato-based soup is the perfect dish to enjoy on warm summer nights — it’s delightfully bright, yet surprisingly rich.
With this recipe, we revisit the Andalusian classic, Salmorejo, which incorporates a loaf of bread into a blended tomato base. The result is creamy, refreshing, and oh, so satisfying!
Pies, galettes, and crostatas, oh my! Celebrate summer fruit with a beautiful baked delight. IN THIS ISSUE, we acquaint you with some of our very favorite fresh fruit desserts. We include three delicious recipes that provide a sweet finish to any summer occasion.
One of our favorite ways to enjoy fresh strawberries is as strawberry shortcake -- the biscuit kind, not the cake kind. We grew up with this treat, so its seasonal comeback revives all kinds of wonderful memories in addition to all the great tastes! In this recipe, chopped strawberries are added to the biscuit dough, which makes the biscuits sweeter, and the biscuit color a lovely shade of pink!
With summertime local produce thriving, it’s time to put entrée salads in the starring role on the dinner table. IN THIS ISSUE, we present three hearty salads, each with a dazzling burst of flavors. We’re sharing our favorite tips for summer grilling, how to make mango rosettes, and easy basics to follow when composing homemade salad dressings! It’s time to revel in the season of ripe produce — choose to serve a satisfying salad for dinner.
A simple sauce, a little time to marinate, and some fast wok magic equals a delicious meal. IN THIS ISSUE, we feature pan-fried pork noodles with baby bok choy for a tasty dinner-at-home win.
Perfect for a first course or a lovely spring lunch, this savory soup features the bold flavors of roasted garlic and tender spring leeks. The creamy texture is achieved not with cream or butter, but with Yukon gold potatoes and a powerful blender. The crispy bacon garnish adds the perfect salty crunch to each spoonful.
The warm summer nights are a constant invitation to light up the grill. The grill anchors the outdoor kitchen, and becomes the center for al fresco dining and leisurely time spent with the family.
IN THIS ISSUE, we're grilling colorful kebabs made extra-delicious thanks to mouth-watering marinades. Try skewering up one of these three kebab recipes for a tasty summer supper on the grill.

We’re all bonding with our homes more these days! Mix up mealtime with a “picnic” on the patio, deck, or even driveway! And, there’s no time like the present to get some summer grilling underway!
IN THIS ISSUE, we’ve assembled a delicious menu for an at-home outdoor dinner: beer-boiled then grilled brats, zipped-up baked beans, and a grilled potato salad ready to elevate the moment!
Today we’re featuring flavor-rich huevos rancheros. It’s a great dish to enjoy for any meal of the day. This classic Mexican breakfast translates to “ranch eggs” and highlights a perfectly fried egg served on a warm tortilla with black beans, cotija cheese, and fresh pico de gallo. Enjoy!
