Squid, Lemon, and Zucchini Blossom Fritto Misto

During summer months, find zucchini blossoms at specialty grocers or at farmers’ markets. Halved scallions can be used instead, and small shrimp can stand in for the squid.

Zucchini, Potato, and Fontina Pizzettas

We’ve included Gyngell’s recipe for pizza dough, but if you prefer to use store-bought, we promise not to tell.

Dorade is also known as sea bream and orata; you can substitute with red snapper or black bass.

Roasted Red Peppers and Cherry Tomatoes With Ricotta
