This classic Tom Collins cocktail is an easy-to-make refresher. A pared-down garnish of a lemon wheel and cherry keeps the focus on the citrusy gin.
Yogurt With Mixed Seeds, Toasted Oatmeal and Ginger Syrup
The inspiration for this breakfast yogurt comes mainly from an amazing breakfast yogurt and fruit bowl I had at the Elizabeth Street Café, a Vietnamese-French bakery and restaurant in Austin, Tex. Its baker, Jennifer Tucker, is exceptionally talented: Anyone who can pull off croissants that incorporate whole-wheat flour and seeds while remaining flaky, light, and small has my immediate attention. The cafe’s morning yogurt bowl includes an unusual granola made with steel-cut oats, macadamia nuts, and ginger; fresh fruit; and a delicious ginger-palm sugar syrup. Jennifer was kind enough to share her recipes for the granola and the ginger palm sugar syrup (I’m using only the syrup recipe here, but I’m sure you’ll see the granola in a future Recipes for Health). The seed mix you should make in quantity and keep on hand for adding not just to your morning yogurt, but to salads, baked goods, just about anything. I soak the seeds, then dry them for a day in a very low oven. The ginger syrup keeps well and it too is great to have on hand.
Sugar Snap Pea Salad
In this unusual summer salad, funky, creamy Camembert and crisp, juicy sugar snap peas unite make a texturally complex and very flavorful dish. You can use any washed rind cheese here as long as it’s ripe enough to be spread on a plate. If you can’t find a gooey-centered cheese, you can substitute a creamy goat cheese instead. Pea shoots make an ideal garnish, echoing the flavor of the sugar snaps, but if you can’t get them, use any baby green or micro green in its place. If you want to work ahead, you can blanch the peas and mix up the dressing several hours ahead. But don’t combine the salad ingredients until just before serving. In this dish, freshness is key.

Southern Red Velvet Cake
This is similar to the original recipe that began the red velvet craze. It was developed by the Adams Extract company in Gonzales, Tex. The original recipe, popularized in the 1940s, called for butter flavoring and shortening and is usually iced with boiled milk, or ermine, frosting.
Almond Paste
This almond paste recipe is only four ingredients and made in a food processor. All you need are blanched almonds, sugar, an egg white and almond extract.
Sweet Corn Ice Cream
Nothing beats Colorado sweet corn! A dry climate means the corn is less watery, making each kernel pack a more sugary, corn-y punch. I like to serve a scoop of this ice cream on top of half a grilled peach!
Perfect Corn Soup
Sweet corn kernels are stripped of their cobs and blended with a lovely amount of homemade corn stock. After straining through cheesecloth, it is thickened on the stove like a custard. Served in the summer evenings or for lunch, I top mine with shaved summer truffle or top with fresh herbs.
Spiced Walnut Meringues
These are lovely Walnut Meringue cookies, spiced with cloves & nutmeg, and studded with toasted walnut. The meringue in this recipe is a little squishy inside.
Homemade sugar cubes
You can make this simple sugar cube recipe with plain water. To fancy things up, try rose water, orange blossom water, or extracts such as almond, or lemon.
3-Ingredient Walnut Flourless Cake
I was a little skeptical that a flourless cake recipe could be made with three ingredients, but what a delight! The ground walnuts provide depth and texture.
Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk
