Loaded Up at the Market to Make… Any Guesses?
Published 6 days ago • 2 min read
Hi Reader,
What would someone definitely not hoarding summer produce like a contestant on a cooking game show need?
Farmer's Market Recipes
A reason. Or just the perfect excuse to turn all that potential into something a little daring.
This fresh tomato tart is laden with slices of summer tomato—preferably heirloom—on an herbed crust topped with creamy goat cheese and finished with a pesto vinaigrette. Elegant and impressive yet (shhhhh!) really quite easy.
Here’s a quick, lemony vegetarian pasta dish that can easily be adapted to other greens: try it with asparagus, broccoli or broad beans when you tire of zucchini.
This homemade farmer cheese is rich, creamy, lovely, and easy as can be to make at home. Sorta like a poor man's (or shall we say, lazy man's) homemade ricotta. Here's how to make it.
Sautéed romaine is a quick and healthy side dish that's gonna upend your notions of what purpose romaine was meant to serve on this planet. Bye bye, salads.
Knowing how to cook shishito peppers results in perfectly blistered peppers with a mildly tingly, almost sweet heat. Japanese shishitos are quite distinct and relatively sweet. Set them out at a backyard barbecue or cocktail party with cold beers or margaritas and watch them disappear.
This apple, Parmesan, and mixed green salad brings together a few simple ingredients to a sophisticated effect. Effortless and elegant, what could be better? Oh yeah, it's healthy, too.
These quick dill pickles--or, as we like to say, quickles--are made with Kirby cucumbers, vinegar, sugar, garlic, coriander, mustard, and, of course, tons of dill. No canning involved. How easy is that?
This easy gazpacho is a chilled summer soup made with tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, and onion blitzed in the blender and seasoned with hot sauce. Simple, fresh, and healthy.
This plum torte is the most requested recipe from The New York Times. And with good reason. An easy yet elegant way to indulge in summer that's made with a handful of everyday pantry ingredients.
Like a cross between pie and a juicy deep dish cobbler, this peach berry sonker, topped with tender pastry and drizzled with milk dip, is one of the best old-fashioned desserts we've ever tried.

What’s inside: Homemade Oven-Roasted Pastrami Blueberry Crumble Blueberry Crumble Video Hello Reader, Yes, the country’s roasting. The thermometer hit 101° in Roxbury yesterday.
