Perfect for a summer gathering, these eat-with-your-hands corn "ribs," thin long strips of corn on the cob, are tossed with garlic-paprika butter and grilled. After cooking, we top them in the style of Mexican elotes—with a squeeze of lime, a drizzle of Cotija crema, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

S'mores Icebox Cake
Layers of coffee-soaked graham crackers, homemade chocolate mousse, and whipped cream coated in a toasted meringue evoke the flavors and textures of s’mores, no campfire or mosquitoes required.
Pasta and Pickles Salad
This recipe is your invitation to the pasta and pickle party. Dill pickles work double time here: The brine is added to the creamy dressing to bring acidity, while a generous amount of pickles are used in the salad, bringing crunch and saltiness. The sourness of the pickles and the punch of the quick-pickled shallots really cut through the heaviness that is often found in creamy, mayonnaise-laden pasta salads. (This one skips mayo for lighter crème fraîche or sour cream.) An emphatic handful of dill reinforces the grassy notes of the pickle; if you have parsley or scallions lying around, you could throw those in too. Experiment by adding other pickles — sauerkraut, beets, radish, daikon would all work — or bulk this pasta salad up with some chopped romaine, chickpeas or hard-boiled eggs.

Chocolate Birthday Cake
This tender, dark chocolate cake, layered with a fluffy, not-too-sweet, white Ermine icing, also known as boiled-milk frosting, is inspired by the memory of a Chuck E. Cheese chocolate birthday cake from the early 1990s. This style of devil’s food cake is also a staple of the refrigerated cases in supermarket bakeries, and starts with an oil-based cake that doesn’t harden when cold, as butter-based cakes do. The chilled, soft sponge gets its special dark and nostalgic flavor from vanilla, sour cream and Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which is less acidic than natural cocoa powder and produces a darker color and rounder flavor. Hot coffee blooms the generous amount of cocoa powder and melts the chopped bittersweet chocolate, giving this cake a dreamy, fudgy texture when cold. Sour cream lends tenderness to the crumb and lightness to the frosting. The buffed, blindingly white frosting is sturdy enough for candles.

This (Vegan!) Key Lime Pie Is a Perfect Summery Kicker to Your Next BBQ
A lime custard pie that hits all the same flavor notes as a Key lime pie, but entirely vegan.
S’mores Tart
This stunning dessert takes the elements of s’mores – marshmallows, graham crackers and melty chocolate – and recombines them in an elegant way. A billowing meringue singed with a blowtorch replaces the toasted marshmallows, a homemade graham cracker crust replaces the cookies and a soft, bittersweet ganache stands in for the usual melted chocolate bar. It does take time and effort, but you can do it over the course of a couple of days. The spectacular results are well worth it.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake
Malls have been declining in number since their peak in the 1980s, but, before losing their cultural significance, they helped make the cookie cake the frosted icon it is today. Created by Michael Coles and Arthur Karp in 1977 (not by Mrs. Fields, which was founded the same year), the cookie cake was first sold in Atlanta malls by their company, Great American Cookies. In this cookie cake, browned butter gives the cookie extra toasty, nutty flavor, and the extra egg yolk makes it chewy and tender. Don’t skimp on the chocolate chips; you can use semisweet or bittersweet morsels or a combination of both. This recipe calls for a cookie cake pan, which is a round pan that is about 1/2-inch deep. You can also bake this in a 10-inch round cake pan lined with parchment paper, increasing the baking time to 25 minutes or so. Malls might be closing left and right, but this food court-style giant chocolate chip cookie cake will never go out of style.
Oven S’mores
These easy, everyday s’mores are made in your broiler, no bonfire required. Ready in five minutes, they’re perfect for a speedy, chocolatey dessert. Feel free to swap out different cookies for the graham crackers. Ginger snaps, shortbread, chocolate wafer cookies all work equally well, as do salty crackers like Ritz and Saltines.

How to Make Caesar Seasoning
This tangy-savory Caesar seasoning blend comes together in under 10 minutes, and is great dusted over just about everything. Sprinkle it over popcorn or hard-boiled eggs. Pour it into a bag of kettle chips and give it a shake, or toss with sturdy veggies before roasting.
Grilled Hot Dogs
A crisp, snappy, juicy hot dog isn’t necessarily difficult to achieve, but two key steps ensure that yours won’t end up wrinkly, burnt or dry. First, let the flame mellow to a moderate heat, which will prevent bursting and provide ample time to pick up smoke from the grill. Second, arrange the hot dogs parallel to the grates. That way, the rods act like a sling, exposing more of the hot dogs for more browning and keeping them from rolling around. With a well-cooked hot dog, toppings can be as minimal or imaginative as you’d like. (For natural-casing hot dogs, see Tip.)
