Double-Crust Peach Pie with Honey, Ginger, and Lime

If you want a long weekend baking project, this pie is the best way to use up all the peaches at the market right now.

Charred Citrus Chicken

This is simply an excellent chicken, and is a very fun way to switch up your summer grilling routine.

Potato Salad with Celery and Mustard

This mustardy, crunchy, tangy, herby, wonderful potato salad makes an excellent plus one at any picnic/bbq/party all summer long. Don’t worry about it being out for too long—it gets better the longer it sits, but it will also surely get eaten quickly. 

Cucumbers with Red Onion and Sesame

If you want to switch it up, this cucumber salad is another great pairing for a Really Nice Fish—it’s bright, crunchy, a little nutty, and a lovely low-lift side dish.

Iceberg Salad with Onions, Capers, and Pecorino

This salad goes with everything, and is exactly how I like it (acidic, herby, and mostly iceberg lettuce).

Crispy Cutlets with Fennel Salad

This crispy cutlet, inspired by the New York City restaurants I love so much goes by many names, but all you need to know is that it’s chicken (or pork) and it’s crispy.

Strawberry Shortcake Cobbler

It’s also the the season of the prettiest, sweetest little strawberries, and this juicy, jammy cobbler with fluffy shortcakes and freshly whipped cream is quite simply the best way we know how to celebrate it.

Pasta Salad with Zucchini, Sizzled Scallion, and Parmesan

The capers and lemon give it the bright brilliant tanginess that pasta salad craves, but what truly makes this one special is the mix of textures.

Charred Kale Frittata

Make this frittata and a batch of garlicky yogurt one morning and reap the benefits all week.

Spring Chicken with Crispy Leeks

Golden brown skin, crispy bits of chicken, and leeks that are both braised and tender, crunchy and crackly.

Shrimp Scampi

To me, Shrimp Scampi is decidedly about the shrimp. The important thing here is that you have a lot of saucy, glossy businesses all over whatever you’re serving it on or sopping it up with.

Key Lime Pie

This is constantly a go-to, a crowd-pleaser (except for the one person who doesn’t like limes, I guess!), wonderful 365 days a year, ideal when there’s no seasonal fruit to be had, and perfect for transportation and outdoor soirées.
