Shellfish and pork are a power duo. The salty-sweet pancetta soffritto is the backbone of this clam toast (a kitchen favorite during tastings).

These super-flavorful, no-fry chicken wings turn out best when they’re seasoned ahead of time. You can do this as little as 1 hour in advance, but letting them hang out with salt and those spices overnight is a complete game changer.

Eggplant is one of the true stars of summer, but it can be tricky to cook. Because it absorbs oil like a sponge during frying, we prefer the oven-roasted method in this recipe, which yields tender, caramelized slices minus all the mess.

Plenty of cheese, peak summer tomatoes, tons of garlic, and a cracker crust make for a totally addicting savory pie.

You want that lamb fat to render out gently; it’ll eventually become part of the sauce that will tie the whole dish together.

If you prefer skinless, boneless thighs, that’s fine too. You will need to add about 2 Tbsp. olive oil to the pan to start, and your total cook time will be shorter. Change up the crunchy vegetables as you wish—any sturdy veggie that you enjoy eating raw will be equally good.

Tart cherries, bacon, ricotta, and pickled jalapeños—these are the pizza toppings we dream about.

This chopped pesto requires nothing more than a cutting board and a knife.

If you are on the fence about cinnamon in savory dishes, this could be the chicken recipe that puts it in your YES column.

Skirt steak is the ultimate summer steak for grilling—quick cooking, buttery, and versatile.

Warm browned cutlet + juicy, crispy, herby things = summer dinner without breaking a sweat.

Having a ton of people over? Here's your dinner plan.

"Beer marinade"? Don't mind if I do.

This fish recipe is as healthy as it is easy—which is very!

A little meat-mallet action transforms this tough cut of beef into a quick-grilling all-star.

If you can't find sablefish, swap in lox, NBD.

If you can only find skin-on halibut, carry on: After the fish is cooked, wiggle a spatula between the skin and the fillet, and it will slip right off.

Never mad about shishito peppers making an appearance.

This dressing is coconut milk and lime juice—and it's amazing.

Super easy meatballs in under 5 ingredients, phewph!

Cutting those slits in the fish is key. They help the fish cook more quickly and make it easier to tell when it's done.

The farmers’ market in high summer is the best bet for finding the small, inky-purple, round eggplants used in this recipe.

Any type of tomatoes will work, though cherry tomatoes hold their shape well. If what you’ve got is a couple of ripe beefsteaks or Romas, cut them into 1" pieces and carry on.

This marinade recipe works with any other quick-cooking shellfish or seafood—try scallops or squid.
