Perfect Peach Pie
Eat a perfect peach under the summer sun and you'll experience the fruit at its messy, dripping, sugar-bright best. Rinse your chin and understand that no melon, apricot or blackberry can compete. But how often does this happen? For most of us, a great and truly perfect peach is a rare event. We can expect but one or two a season, for all our trying. Enter the pie. A peach pie can elevate good peaches to excellence and great ones to the sublime. Even a peach pie made with frozen fruit is a terrific thing. The addition of sugar helps; so, too, do a dash of lemon juice and a light sprinkle of nutmeg, which offers a slight bitterness to offset the sweet. Add a crown of vanilla ice cream for a perfect diner-style à la mode effect.

Pineapple Persimmon Sorbet
When we moved into this house I had never eaten a persimmon before in my life. But the persimmon tree in the backyard was so prolific I was harvesting about 50 of them a week! We just couldn't eat them fast enough. It was like Lucy and Ethel in the chocolate factory. Sure enough, a bag of persimmons I had on the windowsill got so overripe that they were oozing out of their skins. Necessity became the mother of invention and this healthy and delicious sorbet was born.
Strawberry-Lemon Radler
The radler—a refreshing combination of beer and lemonade (or citrus soda) is a great summertime drink, and I believe it is a perfectly acceptable breakfast/brunch drink.

Watermelon Cake
Transform a watermelon into a delicious cake! This is a healthy dessert that is luxurious, juicy and perfect for summer. For firmer frosting - refrigerate your frosted watermelon cake for at least 2-3 hours before serving. Go over the frosting again with a small spatula or back of a large spoon to smooth it out. To make it sweeter - add 1 tbsp of raw honey to the coconut cream before whipping. For a mini version - slice the watermelon into thick slices and use a can to cut out small watermelon cakes. If you don't have watermelon - use cantaloupe or honeydew!

Weeknight Lemon Parsley Pasta
This lemon parsley pasta recipe is a favorite weekday staple. It's flavorful and simple, but also crowd-pleasing enough for a weekend dinner party.
Danish Cucumbers
These crisp cucumbers were a favorite during hot summers on my grandparents' farm in New Hampshire. Cucumbers are thinly sliced, salted and pressed with a weight in the fridge, drawing out much of the excess moisture. They’re then drained, tossed with apple cider vinegar and dipped in sour cream or crème fraîche if you're feeling fancy. Refreshing, extremely simple and a great alternative to a bowl of chips.

Caution: contains century egg, the source of umami so intense that most cannot handle. Proceed at your own discretion. Also, it's dangerously addictive.
Rhubarb Bellini
How could fresh rhubarb syrup topped with dry sparkling wine not be the perfect spring and summer drink?! Especially for brunch. Or a picnic. Or just because.
Smashed Cucumber Salad in a Jar
This is one of the first things I make as soon as anything remotely resembling summer hits. It's a cross between a pickle and a salad really, since it only takes a couple of hours for the flavours to develop from start to finish. Have it with your favorite Asian saucy noodles, dumplings, even pork belly baos (I've shared a recipe for that too).
