14 Recipes from the July Issue That We're PSYCHED About
It's a tough to admit it, but like having a favorite child, sometimes there's a new recipe that we love more than the others. Here are the recipes from the brand spanking new July issue that the Bon Appétit staff bookmarked, pinned, taped to the fridge, copied onto those cute little recipe cards—whatever mode you use to save a recipe for later.
Alex Lau1/14Aperol Slushy
"Do you have any idea how long I’ve been campaigning to get frozen cocktails in the magazine? I plan to enjoy the fruits of my labor with this Aperol slushy. I’m also interested in the slushy-adjacent Campari affogato with lemon sorbet." —Meryl Rothstein, senior editor
Christopher Testani2/14Mushrooms with Béarnaise Yogurt
"The grilled mushrooms with Béarnaise yogurt is what I HAVE been making and WILL be making for eternity. It's like eating meat but without the worry of cross-contamination. Also, that spice mix on the shrooms should be packaged and sold as thebestmostdeliciouspowderofalltime." —Sue Li, food stylist
Eva Kolenko3/14Blueberry-Lemon Icebox Cake
"This weekend. It’s happening. I’m really into heavy cream as a main ingredient right now. Also the temperature 'cold.'" —Alex Beggs, senior web editor
Alex Lau4/14Cantaloupe-Studded Champagne Jelly
"Melon balls in Champagne jelly. Also known as, Claire Saffitz is God." —Julia Kramer, senior editor
Christopher Testani5/14Ultimate BLT
"My birthday is in July, and growing up I got to pick the meals we had that day. I always wanted BLTs. Never ate them any other day." —Danylo Berko, senior software engineer
Alex Lau6/14Salted Honey Cantaloupe Jam
"I’m no jam maker but I look forward to my first purchase (maybe ever?) of pectin for this salted honey cantaloupe jam. Cantaloupe deserves more than just being draped in prosciutto or scooped into a ball and thrown nonchalantly in a fruit salad. It’s time for front-runner status!" —Carey Polis, BonAppetit.com editor
Christopher Testani7/14Red Curry–Marinated Japanese Eggplant
"The red curry–marinated eggplant. Eggplant is an oft-maligned summer vegetable, and when it’s grilled it usually turns out really sad. But this bright and spicy marinade is very good for convincing haters not to hate." —Belle Cushing, assistant editor
Alex Lau8/14Matcha Affogato with Green Tea Ice Cream
"Matcha Affogato. Because try to think of something more fun to say than Matcha Affogato. You can’t." —Nate Erickson, associate director of public relations
Alex Lau9/14Cream of Cashew Pea Soup
"This will Instagram beautifully." —Rochelle Bilow, social media manager
Alex Lau10/14Dark and Stormy Slushy
"Dark and Stormy Slushy, so I can pretend to be a pirate and also get a tasty drink (also I love lime and rum together)." —Andrew Milne, summer web editorial assistant
Ted Cavanaugh11/14Grated Tomato Sauce
"Salty, garlicky, lip-smackingly oily tomato sauce: I love you so much. I’ll put you on pasta (duh), spoon you over bruschetta, slap you on some mozzarella cheese and call you a salad." —Carla Lalli Music, food director
Alex Lau12/14Blueberry–Chia Seed Jam
"Alex stole mine (the blueberry icebox cake), HOWEVER I guess I am also very excited for that blueberry-chia seed jam. I shouldn’t even be telling you this, but I just bought a set of jars just to make those to-go fruit on the bottom yogurt cups." —Christina Chaey, associate web editor
Jeff Luker13/14Avocado-Lime Ice Pops
"Because all I want to eat when it’s hot outside are popsicles and ice cream and the lime, mint, and avocado combo in these pops is just the right balance of bright, creamy, and not too sweet." —Liesel Davis, recipe editor
Alex Lau14/14Barbecue Ribs with Gochujang Sauce
Contributing tablet associate Ben Vina is so enamored with these ribs he didn't even have the words to describe them.
