Late Harvest is a wine word that many of you will have seen on a wine label.
Do you know what it means?
I have a long history of spectacular tomato tart failures. There was the one that enchanted me on TV a decade ago, with a parmesan crust, bacon, fine breadcrumbs and roasted garlic, that — several hours of work later — ended up tasting metallic and clashy against the acidic tomatoes. There was the tomato tarte tatin flop from a fancy French chef, for which I have only myself to blame. And two summers ago, there was an heirloom tomato galette, with colors like a rainbow, that fell apart before we ate it. The problem more often than not is a basic one: tomatoes are very wet and tart crusts need to stay fairly dry. But this has never stopped me from trying again, and I’m glad, because it led me to this.
Sort of. This too spun from a disaster, a gnocchi failure last week that involved these same fixings. But we were so in love with the combination — lightly charred and slumped cherry tomatoes, sauteed zucchini, crunchy sweet corn, scallions and parmesan that I’ve become convinced it should be applied to everything this month from pasta to farro to omelets.

“Why go out for Thai food when you can make it at home? These delicious Thai-style chicken satay are made of chicken marinated in a peanutty sauce, and then grilled.”
Occasionally, I stop in for a few things at one of the handful of smaller grocery stores in my area. Not quite a bodega or corner market, these are true grocery stores that have somehow survived the Mega-Mart grocery takeover of the last several decades. I don’t always get to shop at these places due to their location and (sometimes, but not always) higher prices but when I do, I notice that I just plain enjoy the whole experience.

“This is a rich and hearty lentil curry, great as a main meal rather than as a side dish like the more traditional Indian dhal. Don’t let the ingredient list faze you, this really is an easy dish to make. This dish is great served with basmati rice.”
Summer Recipe: Fresh Peach Soda
Can you believe it’s August already? Neither can we! We are, however, luxuriating in peaches and apricots, and thinking about all the plum jam we’d like to make. What about you? Are you reaching for summer fruit? Or do you have other cooking plans this weekend? Maybe lighting the grill, or staying cool with homemade ice cream? Tell us your cooking plans this weekend — we’d love to hear.
We are determined to squeeze every second out of summer while it’s here, starting with a slice of this crispy grilled pizza topped with fresh sweet corn and tomatoes and ending with a bowl of tangy, lemony ice cream. You also won’t want to miss our fizzy fresh peach soda from this week or how to make an fresh, zesty gremolata to spoon over grilled vegetables and chicken. We also shared lots of S’mores fixings, with birthday cake marshmallows and S’mores inspired by Key lime pie. Take a look at all our summer-lovin’ recipes from this past week right here!
