Summer

Because it's too hot for that nonsense.

Corn cake three-ways: fresh corn kernels, a little bit of cornmeal, plus crunchy Corn Flakes.

The juices from the tomatoes, squash, and dressing make for a magical combination—you’ll need crusty bread to soak it up with.

You'll love this riff on classic peaches and cream.

You’ll want something crunchy to go with the soft pudding. Pistachios are just the start! Choose any nut or seed you like.

Caramel-peach perfection.

These three-ingredient biscuits work with any cobbler.

Plus: the secret ingredient for a much creamier flavor.

This not-too-sweet curd can also be drizzled over pancakes, berries, or ice cream.

Serve this dip with chips, as part of a meze platter, or slather it on grilled chicken thighs.

What do to with your farmers' market fruit haul.

This sauce tastes like a cross between ranch and Alabama white sauce, which means you can basically put it on anything.

Eat standing up, ideally over the sink.

Cantaloupe bowl > bowl bowl.

This zippy, herbaceous drinkable soup is like a trip to the farmers’ market in a glass.

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

Serve this salad as soon as it is assembled so all of the tomato juices and flavor stay where they belong.

This recipe puts a spin on prosciutto and melon by swapping in smoked salmon for the salty dry-cured ham.

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.

It's not about the number of steps or ingredients in a dish. If you shop smart, buying peak-season produce and quality protein, you don't have to do much at all (like with this easy salad recipe).

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.

You'll fall in love with this light dessert once you finally buy a cherry pitter (worth it).

Yes, you can serve this in a punch bowl if you don't have any coconut shells lying around!
