Gabrielle Hamilton's Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
The secret to crispier, faster, better grilled cheese sandwiches? Mayonnaise. "This is the greatest cooking medium of all time for a grilled cheese sandwich," she says. It won't burn as quickly as butter, and it won't stick to the pan, and it browns and crisps more evenly too. From Gabrielle Hamilton of Prune Restaurant, via CHOW.
Gingersnap Icebox Cake for Abbie's birthday
Y'all know aargersi--whose real name is Abbie--she's the long time Food52er known for being fun and funny and ENTHUSIASTIC!!! Turns out she's exactly like that in real life--and as generous and sweet as she is fun and funny. She organizes Ladies Lunch here in Austin---once a month she chooses a restaurant (or food truck or picnic spot), sends out an email, and whoever can shows up, hangs out, has lunch. I found out that she recently had a birthday--a big one--(I won't tell you the number, but it starts with 5…) so we turned the tables on her and made this month's ladies lunch a birthday party. I wanted to bake a cake, but my husband begged me not to turn the oven on, so I decided on icebox cake. The local grocery store didn't have Nabisco chocolate wafers, but they did have really good ginger snaps, so ginger snap it was. I wasn't sure if they would soften overnight (they were really crunchy) so I kind of overdid it on the whipped cream, but no one seemed to mind.

Tartines with Ricotta and a Quick Apricot Compote
Tart apricots become soft, stewy, and sweet in a compote that is a perfect foil for creamy ricotta. These tartines are simple but elegant, and make breakfast feel decadent.
Pesto Pasta Salad
Garlicky pesto and sweet peas team up with mild mozzarella and al dente pasta for a super-quick and super-tasty pasta salad. Leave as-is for a meatless meal or side or add chunks of pre-cooked chicken or shrimp for a meal in a bowl. Change the peas to any small green vegetable you'd like, as well.

Asparagus Soup With Ricotta Crostini
In this puréed vegetable soup, asparagus and leeks are thickened with rice, which adds both body and a slightly nubby texture to the bowl. Little is wasted in the preparation; asparagus ends and leek tops that might otherwise be thrown away are simmered into a delicate broth that serves as the foundation for the other flavors. You can skip the ricotta crostini but some kind of crunchy contrast – plain buttered toast, breadsticks or crackers – makes a nice counterpart on the side.

Radish and Basil Compound Butter
I grew up eating my grandmother’s fresh baked bread, smeared with salted butter and slices of crispy radishes. Using that as inspiration, I created this Radish and Basil Compound Butter that is so simple to make and quite beautiful with the pink and green flecks. Whether served on light as air bread, crackers or a perfectly seared steak, it adds something special.
Superfood Overnight Oats with Almonds and Goji Berries
For those that are always on the go, this is a perfect make-ahead breakfast. Combine all ingredients in a mason jar, let it sit overnight in the fridge, and in the morning grab a spoon and your breakfast and you're ready to go! Toppings are endless, so feel free to change it up everyday. Superfoods give you large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals; oats for fiber; raw cacao for additional antioxidants; and maca for a boost in energy and stamina to get you going through your mornings as it is rich in vitamin B vitamins, C, and E and provides plenty of calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and amino acids.

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.

Grilled Peach Salad
Quick, easy and flavorful are the key words to summer sides! I was grilling a pork tenderloin one night and wanted something to go with it that was as little work as possible with the most flavor, this is it for sure!!!!

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!

Sweet & Savory "Vesper" Bread
When my boyfriend's German parents visit, I often run to the farmer's market and grocery store for a variety of sliced meats, hard & soft cheeses and spreads. It's common in his region of Germany for some meals to be served as a Vesper, a snack or meal of cheese, bread and cold cuts, and I've come to really enjoy it. There's no wrong way to put together your favorite combination, but this one is my absolute favorite. The key to it, however, is using the best quality ingredients you can find. Use an unsalted, European-style butter with a high butterfat content or raw honey from your local farmer. Homemade or fresh bread works well, but because of the bold flavors you'll slather on top, stale bread can be masked too.
