Lobster Rolls
There are two longstanding, popular styles of lobster rolls, and they differ in two primary ways: temperature (cold versus warm) and sauce (mayonnaise versus butter). One style hails from Maine, where chilled lobster meat is tossed in a mayonnaise dressing (often with minced celery and chives), while the Connecticut version warms lobster meat in butter and serves it glistening in the butter sauce. These rolls embrace the best of both worlds and are both buttery and bright. The lobster meat is warmed in butter, quickly tossed in a light mayo dressing, then tucked into butter-toasted buns. Serve with potato chips and tangy coleslaw for a classic summer meal.

Smash Burgers
Smashburgers get their name from just that: smashing the meat onto a griddle using a metal spatula or burger press, resulting in a thin burger with seriously charred edges. Use ground beef that has a 20 percent fat content, roll the meat into balls, then chill for at least 30 minutes before cooking to keep the fat solid. The result? Juicy burgers with brown, crisp edges. Unlike a typical burger that you might throw on the grill, thinner smashburgers cook best on a griddle or cast-iron skillet. Smear some mayonnaise on the insides of the buns before toasting them; the fat leftover from the mayo should be just enough to slick up the griddle to cook the burgers, but you can use a touch of oil in between batches as needed. Top your burger how you like: Finely shredded lettuce, homemade pickles and thinly sliced red onion are enough to make this fast food staple feel fancy. A simple combination of mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish and vinegar creates the perfect sauce, but fry sauce would also hit the spot.

Strawberry Cheesecake
This stunning summer dessert is more relaxed than it looks. The cheesecake is baked without a messy water bath and can be made days in advance. To avoid cracks on the surface, make sure to turn off the oven when the cheesecake is just set around the edges and quite wiggly at the center. If your cheesecake does happen to crack while cooling, the blanket of jammy berries will cover up any imperfections. Use the juiciest, most vibrant berries you can find, as they are the true stars of the show. Substitute an equal amount of blackberries, raspberries or blueberries for the strawberries, if you like, and adjust the sugar to taste.
