Tomatoes are my favorite food in the entire world, they beat everything else ever. I would rather eat tomatoes and salt than a cake or fried chicken, but they have to be good of course, and now is the time to be eating them!

This salad is nothing out of the ordinary, it’s just about using very, very good ingredients because it’s so simple. The dressing is made from grated tomatoes, so it utilizes the peek season toms and doubles up on tomato flavor, perfect for soaking up with some good fresh bread. The leftover juice on the plate is so delicious, I drank every last drop when we were finished.

PS Please use buffalo mozzarella for this and not burrata, burrata is overused in my opinion and buffalo is where the flavor is at!

This tomato risotto or “risotto al pomodoro” is the perfect recipe to make when your garden or CSA box is overflowing with summer tomatoes, but can also be made when you have none at all. It relies on passata, which can be made by processing plenty of tomatoes in a food mill or potato ricer and cooking the juices down for about fifteen minutes, or can be easily purchased from the store and kept in the pantry. On the off chance there are leftovers of this delicious dish, try breading and frying them into mozzarella-stuffed arancini the next day!

Creamy tomato risotto (risotto al pomodoro) made with passata, parmesan, and fresh herbs. A cozy Italian classic perfect for weeknight dinners or summer tomatoes.

I had never understood cold soup until I was working in a professional kitchen and my Spanish colleague José made me a bowl of gazpacho, and later our head chef, Beta, made salmorejo. This recipe is an amalgamation of the two. I'm not such a fan of peppers, so I have left them out. I hesitate to call this gazpacho or salmorejo because it is neither, and I don't want to annoy any of my Spanish friends. So instead, I call it Spring/Summer Tomato Soup- and I hope they approve! This soup is the ideal recipe to batch make in the heat of summer and keep in the fridge, ready and chilled for when you need a light, fresh, thirst-quenching lunch.

Having good condiments to hand is essential for a happy life. Furikake (a Japanese dried seasoning blend made with seaweed and sesame seeds) is always in my pantry – there are several varieties and although they are all universally good with rice, I use different flavours for certain dishes. I’ve used nori tamago (seaweed egg) flavour for this salad. If you haven’t tried it, give it a go. I literally said, ‘f*** yeah’ out loud when I tasted this for the first time.

This creamy tomato and furikake pasta salad combines fresh veggies, spring onions, and umami-rich seasoning for a bold, satisfying side or light lunch. Ready in 30 minutes—no fancy tools required.

In my opinion, more people should be cooking with whole grains, and rye berries are a delicious place to start. Once boiled, they have a firm and satisfying texture. This “rye-sotto” requires a slightly different technique than a traditional risotto made with arborio rice, but the end result is similar in creamy-richness with a little more variation in texture. Add in charred and simply marinated summer squash, and this makes for a delicious side or dinner in and of itself.

If, like me, you often buy a box of mixed greens with big intentions, only to
have them slowly wither in the back of the refrigerator, this recipe is for you.
It’s a pantry pasta that gets the bulk of flavor from cooking the butter until
nutty and golden brown, along with a generous amount of garlic. While a
10-ounce box may seem like a lot, the greens wilt down in minutes once they
touch the heat of the pan.


Notes: I call for a box of mixed greens here, but any assortment of greens
will work to sauté, like spinach, kale, mustard greens, radicchio, or arugula.
The point is to use something you have on hand. You can use any type of
nut you’d like in place of walnuts, such as pecans, hazelnuts, pine nuts, or
pistachios. While you can also leave them out, I like the crunch they add.
Leftover pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for
up to 2 days.

An easy weeknight pasta that comes together in less than 30 minutes.

Sweet, spiced, and unforgettable—these chai masala tamales from Masala y Maiz blend Indian and Mexican flavors for a unique twist on a classic dish.

This recipe—affectionately dubbed Steak Montreal—lands somewhere between Montreal smoked meat, steak frites, and steak au poivre. What ties it all together is my homemade version of the iconic Montreal steak seasoning, the brainchild of Schwartz’s Deli and the flavor backbone of the city’s bizarro pastrami. Order their towering smoked meat sandwich and you’ll get what I mean.
Montreal steak seasoning is a staple in spice aisles everywhere, but most versions miss the mark on the coarse texture and fresh grind that define the Schwartz’s original. Luckily, it’s easy (and delicious) to make at home—and you get full control over how coarse or fine you want the blend. If you have them on hand, throw in an extra teaspoon of Szechuan peppercorns for a little extra zing.

If you’re looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing dinner that feels like a warm hug, these Stuffed Jumbo Shells with Sausage & Cheese are the answer. This recipe brings together simple ingredients — ground pork, Italian sausage, marinara sauce, and a cheesy blend — all tucked into tender pasta shells and simmered to perfection.

The beauty of this dish is its flexibility. You can mix in your favorite veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or peppers, or keep it classic and meaty. The filling is savory, cheesy, and satisfying — and once the shells are stuffed and nestled in sauce, the oven (or stovetop) does the rest.

Whether you’re cooking for your family, hosting guests, or prepping comfort food for the week, this recipe is easy to make and even easier to love. Serve it with garlic bread, a fresh salad, or just a fork and an appetite — it’s always a hit.

Tomato Peach Panzanella By Gabriella Lewis

 It’s very important that you don’t burn the cheese. It should have a golden brown color. The brilliance behind this burger is that it gets a sear on the outside, but the inside doesn’t touch the plancha. That creates a beautiful contrast with the crispy outside and pink and juicy inside."—chef Eyal Shani

“Everyone loves barbecued chicken. The dish contrasts crisp-skinned, smoky chicken thighs with a sweet boozy bourbon peach glaze. To keep simple, just season the bird with your favorite barbecue rub (or salt and pepper) and use your favorite barbecue sauce as part of the bourbon peach glaze.”—

Smoke-Grilled Chicken with Bourbon Peach Glaze

“Since the earliest days of our nation, beef and bourbon have been keeping one another fine company. There's something about the sweetness of sipping whiskey that enhances the rich, meaty flavor of beef. For an uptown version of this dish, use New York strip steaks or a beef tomahawk. For a more affordable version, use skirt steak. Either way, the bourbon soy marinade takes the beef to a whole new level.”—
