This month it seems we all cranked up the AC and kicked off summer cooking with pops of produce and the freshest flavors. Our sharpest serrated knives were out in full force for June's most popular recipes, which index, unsurprisingly, heavy on the tomatoes. Like this jammy, cherry tomato sheet-pan gnocchi; these picnic-perfect cheesy tomato hand pies; and the herby roast chicken served atop thick rounds of—you guessed it—tomatoes! But don't get us wrong, the rest of our produce hauls shined just as bright too. I’m talking about these quick-pickled sesame-lemon cukes; the Sach Ko Ang recipe with a colorful and mouth watering sidekick; and, hey, are those French toast waffles under that mountain of summer berries? Whatever you do with your farmers market bounty, remember this: If you touch it, you buy it. Here are our most popular recipes from June—starting with No. 1.
