Grilled Eggplant Salad
Here is a deeply flavored salad that can be prepared entirely outdoors, keeping the heat out of the kitchen. Grill a whole fat purple globe eggplant until the skin blisters. Then scrape the soft insides into a bowl and season them with red wine vinegar, garlic, good olive oil and fresh herbs. A few capers on top add a pleasing brininess. Serve it with pita bread, a good rosé and a hunk of feta, and want for nothing more.

Watermelon Mint Smoothie
I’m always tossing watermelon with fresh mint, so I decided to see how the two would blend in a smoothie. The result is like a cross between a sweet mint tea and a watermelon agua fresca.
Simple Minted Hominy
This Simple Hominy recipe was inspired by a can of hominy that I impulse-purchased. Alternately, use regular canned corn, if you'd like, or a fresh ear of corn.
Sugar Snap Peas with Mustard and Chives
I happened to pass by the Union Square greenmarket when I was wandering around downtown this weekend, and couldn't help myself: I bought enough fresh fruits and vegetables to last a month. This recipe was inspired by the fresh- and delicious-looking snap peas I found there. I wanted something that would add to their flavor but not overwhelm it. This was perfect - the mustard and chives gave a sweet and spicy finish, and the bit of butter created a glazed, gourmet look.
5-Minute Tomatillo Salsa
Tomatillo salsa, one of the great taco toppings, is a cinch to make. In this 2011 recipe, the tomatillos, stripped of their papery skin, are paired with Serrano chiles and cilantro. Made from just four ingredients, it comes together in moments and is a superb complement to tacos or tortilla chips.
Poor Man's Kirsch (Alternately: Redneck Kirsch)
I wanted to preserve sour cherries in something without too much flavor. Having no vodka on hand, I turned to white lightening. Voila: homemade kirsch recipe.
Yogurt Soup With Spelt, Cucumbers and Watercress
Chilled soups are terrific in sweltering summer heat. This yogurt soup in particular has nice body and crunch, from the substantial whole grains (spelt, farro or wheat berries) and finely chopped cucumbers. The addition of watercress, diced tomatoes, herbs, garlic and lemon juice means that every spoonful ferries with it a mix of flavors and textures. Use good quality plain yogurt here (preferably whole-milk yogurt, though low-fat is fine), and you will be rewarded with an authentically tangy, creamy soup that manages to be filling and refreshing.
Squash Blossom and Garlic Frittata
Somewhere, in a book, I read about how Italians make frittatas with zucchini blossoms. Because they can. And over the years I've been training myself to make thinner frittatas with fewer ingredients and to let them cool to room temperature, like Italians do. Because everything they do seems better than what we do. - Amanda
“Plum Wine” with Lime
Black plums are one of my favorite things. This Lime Plum Wine recipe is tangy and refreshing and a lovely shade of deep pink. Garnish with a small basil leaf.
Tomato-Cucumber Soup With Basil
Not quite a gazpacho, because it contains no bread, this is a summer soup that I can keep in the refrigerator and enjoy every day for lunch or dinner.
The Nairobi
This is a mojito-like variation on my Kenyan-Indian friends' favorite cocktail, Jameson and Ginger Ale. I threw this together when I had some leftover minced basil, mint, and cilantro on the cutting board. Just add lime and voila.
Morning Oatmeal With Cherries and Pistachios
You can now find steel-cut oats that cook quickly. If you steep them the night before in boiling water (pit the cherries then, too), this breakfast is a quick one to put together.
Cherry Cobbler With Almond-Buttermilk Topping
The topping for this almond-scented cobbler is a buttermilk biscuit batter made with a mixture of flours. Cornmeal contributes texture, and whole-wheat and almond flours add nuttiness. For a gluten-free version, substitute almond meal or rice flour for the whole-wheat flour.
Basil Vodka Gimlet Cocktail
This simple, refreshing gimlet cocktail is a pitch-perfect blend of basil, fresh lime juice, and vodka that was made for sipping outside with friends.
Children of the Sun Cocktail
This drink was inspired by the spicy margaritas at Las Perlas in LA. It calls for jalapeño-infused tequila and some smoked salt on the rim (that smokiness with the tequila reminds me of mezcal). I made tons of these for lounging by the pool during this year's Coachella (thus the name). The key to a good poolside cocktail is something refreshing, citrus-y and easy to make. I highly recommend tripling this recipe and keeping a pitcher by the pool.
Frosted Ginger Peach Bellini
Ripe, sweet summer peaches make this drink seasonal and delicious!
Ginger Cranberry Cooler
Cape Cods seem a bit strong for a summer sipping drink, so I refreshed the Cape Cod with some ginger ale for a refreshing summer drink.
Crema di Limoncello - Limoncello Milk Liqueur
This crema di limoncello is a typical recipe from the South of Italy, based on the Limoncello but adding milk to the liqueur. Serve the subtle drink chilled.
Evergreen
Very Belini like, not too alcoholic, full of fruit, blended using a fruit slush rather then ice to cool it.
