Sugar Cane and Ginger Infused Vodka
I love infusing my own Vodka from cucumber to cinnamon to Sugarcane Juice (in this recipe). Pairing them with foods is even more fun than infusing them. Cheers!

Raw Sweet Corn Tossed with Buttermilk and Herbs
Five ingredients, three minutes of prep time, and bold, brilliant flavor. . . . my favorite kind of summer food! Use whatever fresh herbs you like here. Dill's tartness works well with the intense sweetness of fresh raw corn, though I also like marjoram, thyme and parsley here. NB however that marjoram can be tricky. Though gentle in braises and soup, it asserts itself when raw, especially if you pick it from a plant that's been in full sun. So go easy on it, using just a bit at first. I recommend letting this stand for a while before eating. We use this as a condiment, spooning it on wraps made with fresh-off-the griddle roti, a few pieces of butter lettuce, and dukkah-dusted fried fish or grilled chicken. Incidentally, this recipe also works well with lightly cooked corn, if you happen to have some on hand. So enjoy!! ;o)
Pineapple Dragon Fruit Semifreddo
This pineapple dragon fruit semifreddo recipe came out of desperation to make something refreshing on a hot day. It's 100% fruit and really hits the spot!

Meyer Lemon Key Lime Marmalade
Amazingly delicious Key Lime Marmalade recipe that tastes like you've spread your favorite lemon-lime artificially-sweetened carbonated beverage on your toast.
Dirt Water Dog
Wha'choo lookin' at? Ah, the things we do for food52. The Dirt Water Dog is the epitome of New York City street food. It's been sitting there simmering in its bath of grayish water for days maybe on someone's cart on 6th Avenue. This is not your Papaya dog, which has a satisfying snap to it. And unlike the Chicago hot dog it's permissable (even desirable) to lay on the ketchup and bright yellow mustard. The only food that might be as typical of eating on the street in New York is pizza by the slice with its odd orange color, not to mention plenty of oregano and red pepper flake. But then you get into your falafels... Everything perfumed by the aroma of taxi and bus exhaust. Of course, we could venture in the direction of the Coney Island dog, which is unspeakable except as an object of horror.
End-of-the-World Whiskey Sours
Every now and then someone declares that The End of the World is coming and I take it as an opportunity to make this Armageddon Drink recipe. Just in case.
Apple-Mint-Lime cooler (Lemonade)
A tasty combo of Apple juice, spritzed up with Lemonade and the herbiness of Mint. Garnish this recipe with a mint leaf and a lime wedge. Cheers!

Peppermint Lemon Stick Cocktail
For this Lemon Stick recipe, simply jam a hollow peppermint candy into a lemon as a straw, and you have an instant treat. It's sweet, juicy, sour and minty.

For this vanilla egg cream recipe, stir the vanilla bean and seeds into the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.

Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Brown Butter
My mom found this recipe in a magazine several years ago and has used it to convert many former asparagus haters (including herself!). I love it for its simplicity- you can throw it together in 15 minutes flat- and sheer addictiveness- you'll be putting the sauce on everything.
