The Soft Scramble Sandwich
To get the most flavor out of this open-faced breakfast sandwich, look for spring onions with round bulbs and very tender dark green stalks. If you can find only thicker-stalked spring onions, cut the stalks in half lengthwise, then into 3″ pieces. Cook the stalks along with the bulbs; they’ll benefit from the extra time.
Fruity No-Churn Ice Cream
While it may lack the romance of fresh-from-the-farmers-market produce, freeze-dried fruit is second to none for making a vibrantly colored, ultra-fruity no-churn ice cream.
No-Churn Mascarpone Ice Cream
This recipe for silky-smooth ice cream comes together completely on a stand mixer rather than in an ice cream machine, and uses whole eggs for a light custard flavor to enrich the complexity of mascarpone cheese.
Chilled Minty Carrot Soup With Dukkah Yogurt
This chilled carrot soup is smooth and creamy, even though it has no dairy in the soup base. Fresh mint adds a bright herbal note, while a creamy dollop of spiced yogurt finishes it off.
Dukkah (Middle Eastern Nut and Spice Blend)

Steak with Grilled Scallion Salsa Verde
Skirt steak is our favorite choice when grilling for a crowd for two reasons: it feeds many and cooks in a jiffy. We like to pair it with a sauce with a kick, but for a milder taste, de-seed your chiles before chopping.
Dilly Beans and Peas on Ricotta Toast
A lemony, herby bean salad with lots of crunch from sliced snap peas is good. But when it’s piled on top of garlic-rubbed, ricotta-spread toast, it’s even better.
Sweet and Spicy Grilled Summer Squash
The crosshatch pattern isn’t just for show (even though it does look cool)! It allows for the salt to fully penetrate the squash and also draws out some of the excess water so that the sweet, tangy glaze can be fully absorbed.
Romesco Sauce
This nutty and fruity Spanish sauce is best when you make it your own. You can serve your romesco sauce a million different ways: with roasted meats or grilled fish, with cooked or raw vegetables, on sandwiches, in soups, you name it.
Pepper Pasta Salad
This spicy, sweet, and punchy pasta salad is perfect for a hot summer picnic when mayonnaise just doesn’t feel right. If you aren’t a big fan of heat, skip the chiles in favor of all sweet bell peppers—it will still be bright and delicious, and perfect at room (ahem, air) temperature.
White Bean and Spring Vegetable Stew
This stew recipe is all about those lovingly cooked and seasoned dried beans and the glorious (vegan!) broth they create. Just keep in mind that for the best results, you have to soak the beans overnight. Though asparagus and peas scream “spring!” this really is a stew for all seasons—those veggies can be swapped with …
Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice)
Kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce) and terasi (Indonesian shrimp paste) set nasi goreng apart from other versions of fried rice. Serve with a fried egg on top and sliced tomato and cucumber on the side to make it a full meal.
Aloo Gobi (Potatoes and Cauliflower)
This classic potato-and-cauliflower dish, ubiquitous on Indian restaurant menus, makes for a great make-ahead party dish. You can pre-roast the vegetables, and then whenever you’re ready, throw them in the pan with your spices and onions to finish the dish in 15 minutes.
Caramelized Onions
Classic caramelized onions couldn’t be easier. Just slice some onions and add butter and time.
Strawberry Shortcakes
Strawberries are a classic choice for this summertime dessert, but any fresh, seasonal berries would be great here.
No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream Pie
It can be difficult to make enough homemade ice cream to serve a crowd, but it’s easy with a no-churn recipe that’s served like a pie.
No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream
Unlike no-churn recipes based on sweetened condensed milk, this chocolate ice cream starts with whole eggs cooked briefly over a water bath, giving the finished ice cream a rich, custard-like quality and a light and airy consistency. Its chocolate flavor comes from cocoa powder alone, so reach for the good stuff.
Strawberry Snacking Cake
Don’t be surprised at how quickly this olive oil and cornmeal-enriched sheet cake will disappear. The strawberry flavor comes from a swirl of jam and a pretty layer of sliced berries on top. Because the strawberries will shrink and sink a bit during baking, make sure they’re placed shoulder to shoulder on top of the …
