PIZZZZZAAAA
Its the classic
Gazpacho with Aleppo Pepper Roasted Gulf Shrimp
Fresh gulf coast shrimp is tossed in olive oil, salt, and mild aleppo pepper then roasted until just cooked and juicy. Use to garnish a bowl of fresh heirloom tomato gazpacho made with almonds instead of bread and you've got yourself and intensely flavorful, fresh, and healthy meal.
Maryland Style Steamed Dungeness Crabs
In order to adapt Maryland without giving up the summer tradition of eating steamed crabs, I made this recipe for steamed Dungeness ones instead.
Garlic Bread Grilled Tomato Sandwich
End of sun-warmed Minnesota tomatoes and I'm soaking up every one in or on something luscious. Skip the cheese, add garlic to the pan, and have a crusty, garlicky, tomato on grilled country bread.
Cucumber, Green Bean and Dill salad
This one originally draws from Mark Bittman. It's refreshing in the summertime and goes well with everything. Use equal parts cukes and beans, and cut them into equally sized bites.
Steven Raichlen's Salt-Crusted Beef Tenderloin Grilled in Cloth (Lomo al Trapo)
This lomo al trapo recipe, traditional to Colombia, combines two genius beef tenderloin techniques to great effect: grilling in the coals and salt-crusting.
Slow Roasted Tomatoes with Filet of Anchovy
It's tomato season, so keep it simple while cooking. No need to make heavy sauces with all those gorgeous tomatoes that are bursting with flavor - try a simple 5 ingredient recipe with slow roasted tomatoes, herbs, loads of olive oil and topped with a filet of anchovy! This recipe is straight from the seaside of Le Marche, where we first devoured this delicious antipasto in Numana.
Iced Mint and Citrus Tea
This recipe is inspired by a tea I get every Saturday at my local Greenmarket -- as my mother would say, I "diagnosed" and then "reproduced!"
Goat Cheese & Fig Pizza
Creativity was at its peak and I came up with this combination. I thought the pizza turned out to be a bit dry so I'd add caramelized onions next time. Just melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick pan and cook 1/4 cup sliced yellow onion until they turn light brown.

Watermelon Sorbet [Using a food processor, no ice cream maker required]
I wanted something really refreshing and not too sweet to serve for the Fourth of July (along with David Lebovitz' delicious chocolate sorbet and some other homemade ice creams). So the weekend before I researched watermelon sorbets and couldn't find anything that sounded right, so I wung it. This would make a great frozen margarita.
Heirloom tomato salad with fresh mozzarella, watermelon and mint
My new favorite flavor combination is tomato and mint. With watermelon and a scoop of mozzarella, it's a light summer lunch. Burrata is hard to come by in my neck of the woods, but if you can get it, use it instead of the mozzarella
Cantaloupe with honey, mint & lime
The combination of honey, mint and lime is the best way I know to brighten up an early- or late-season melon. Use a mild honey such as orange blossom.
Beets with Pistachios and Mint
Beets with Pistachios and Mint is my attempt to recreate the dish that impressed me at a friend's wedding. It is incredibly simple: roasted beets marinated in mild vinegar served atop a small pool of creme fraiche and topped with roasted pistachios. The beet juice mixes every so slightly with the creme fraiche, so that when you scoop up a serving the colors mix into a beautiful swirly pink. The pistachios add a pleasant crunch and the mint perfumes the dish. It is a perfect simple side dish for summer.
Jalapeno tequila margarita
This cocktail has a kick! One sip, and you'll be saying Ole!
Effortless Oven-Roasted Corn on the Cob With Husks
Not only is this oven-roasted corn on the cob with husks recipe easy and mess-free, but it tastes exactly like corn should taste: yellow kernels of candy.
Coffee-Coco Mint Frappe
The addition of blueberries in this frappe may seem odd but it lends a delicate fruity flavor without overpowering the main ingredients. It works well and it’s divine!
Watermelon Lassi
My boys and I just love, LOVE the fresh summer flavors in this watermelon lassi: watermelon, lime, mint and yogurt. For a lighter drink, you can leave out the yogurt; for a cooler treat, you can freeze this mix in popsicle molds!
Does this still count as lemonade?
It is hot. This entire week I haven't wanted to leave my house because it is too darn hot. I needed something for long hard walk (about 10 minutes and I get to stroll through two gardens) to work. This is what I came up with, it's delicious to drink on my way to work, and once I get there I can pull out my fork and go for the fruit which is pleasantly cold and lemony. I put mine in a mason jar because it looks cute and packs easily, but you could use a water bottle or just a glass instead.
Beergarita
The perfectly simple and extremely delicious summer alcoholic beverage. My wife and I enjoy these on the weekend with friends, or make a half batch just for the two of us. And it couldn't be easier to make. Thanks to my sister-in-law Amanda for introducing this to us at my sister's wedding a few years back!
Avocado dressing
This is so simple I hardly call it a recipe. Yet it is one of my Summer staples when I am making tasty, healthy ,quick Summer salads. Avocados are such a perfect fruit that I hate to do much to disguise their creamy, nutty flavor and this dressing stays true to that premise. I usually use Hass avocados ,the dark pebbly looking ones that have the best flavor(in my opinion).
Catalina Crab in Avocado
My Mom gave me this recipe when I was in college and lived in a dorm. No kitchen or utensils available gave me few options for meals. Somehow, 30 years later, this exotic little meal has transferred itself into a quick, light lunch on hot days or an appetizer for a grilled meal.
Avocado & Tomato Salad
A simple Italian style salad
Fresh Picked Cherries with Limoncello
Fresh picked cherries macerated in homemade limoncello, it doesn't get much better than that! A perfect combination of sweet & tart and to top it off with a spoonful of whipped cream!
Avocado, Strawberry, and Mango Salad
This is not your average fruit salad recipe. This avocado, strawberry, and mango salad is fresh, sweet, creamy, tangy, and quick to make. And it's oh-so easy!
