Spiked Cherry Vanilla Cream Soda
It didn’t take me very long to come up with a spiked cherry vanilla cream soda recipe. Infused vodka is the perfect way to make this dream cocktail a reality.
Charred Habanero Oil
Habanero peppers are known as the spiciest, but they also have a subtle fruity flavor. In this oil recipe, charring the habaneros adds extra flavor and depth.
Estela's Candied Sesame Seeds
This is one of the more rewarding ways to spend 10 minutes. As you stir sesame seeds in a sticky syrup, suddenly the water disappears and a dry crystalline layer of sugar pops to the surface. At Estela, chef Ignacio Mattos’s curve-shattering restaurant in New York City, they roll scoops of caramelized white chocolate in the candied seeds, but the seeds are also just as good sprinkled over ice cream or paletas, or topping a brownie or a slice of cheesecake—anywhere you want a little crunchy sesame-flavored twinkle.

Dori Sanders’ No-Churn Fresh Lemon Ice Cream
When it’s too hot to make a custard, it’s nice to know that you can still have sweet-tart, bracing no churn lemon ice cream all the same. This recipe is perfect!
Spicy Ginger Lemonade
Unlike more sugar-laden lemonade, this spicy recipe is free from refined white sugar and is just subtly sweet. The ginger adds that nice kick of spiciness.
Mexican Flan
It's important to use whole milk, heavy cream and more yolks than whites because it's the high fat that makes this Mexican flan recipe silky smooth.
Grilled Korean Sweet Potatoes
In this Korean purple sweet potato recipe, the purple skin is charred, and the potato is toasty warm so that they break open to reveal its fluffy yellow center.
BBQ Whiskey Chicken Thighs
This is quite possibly the easiest and most delicious bbq grilled chicken out there. This whiskey chicken thighs recipe is one to keep for many years!
Frozen Vodka Lemonade with Berries
Nothing is quite as refreshing or easy to make as a frosty lemonade: just homemade lemonade and ice, whizzed in the blender until slushy. But it’s also a template for any kind of fruit or herbal flavors you’d want to dress it up with—or any booze you’d like to spike it with. In this recipe, vodka and summery berries combine with the tartness of the lemonade to make the ultimate warm-weather "adult" beverage.
Emerald Green Herb Oil
If your spring onion soup looks a bit pale, Green Herb Oil will save it. Came up with a special recipe, and it needs a little pop? Drizzle that green, baby.

Berry Lime Popsicles
One of the many things I look forward to enjoying in the summer months is a frozen treat. These berry popsicles are healthy and use ingredients we always seem to have around, which makes them a popular option for snacks anytime of day.
Best Lemon Bars
Lemon bars are all about contrast: sour lemon and sweet sugar, crumbly base and creamy topping, buttery crust and tart filling. Two common ingredients lift this recipe above the pack: baking powder for a fluffy filling and shredded coconut for a rich, round-tasting crust. (Once baked, the coconut flavor almost disappears.) Bakers who avoid preservatives will find an easy version of homemade sweetened coconut in the tip below the recipe.) For thicker lemon squares, use the square baking pan; for thinner ones, the large rectangle. For an easy lemon tart, simply cut the recipe in half and bake it in an 8-inch round tart pan, pressing the crust up the sides.
Lemon Icebox Tarts
My mothers favorite, super simple to make and adapted from my grandmothers Lemon Icebox Pie recipe!

This is the only recipe to homemade Dulce de Leche that lets you easily get in to taste and peek and tweak, without also requiring regular or constant stirring.
Kristin Donnelly's Watermelon Agua Fresca
Bitters are an ingredient you can apply much more widely than you probably realize, because they won't beach themselves on top of everything else. They wriggle in and help existing flavors bloom, much like a subtle jolt of salt or acid or heat can. If you want to know if this riff really makes a difference, taste a little cup before and after adding the bitters. The drink will become fuller-flavored and more inviting, but in a hard to pin down way. Though the "before" cup will be good, it will likely taste two-dimensional by comparison. Adapted slightly from Modern Potluck (Random House, 2016).
Semi-dried tomatoes
Semi-dried tomatoes are softer and moister and therefore a perfect addition to grain salads, pasta, or pizza. For this recipe, you can use any size of tomato.
