A fast-rising home-baked white sandwich loaf that tastes–dare we say it?–better than mom’s. Way better. And just wait ’til you toast it.

Some things never go out of style. They just take on a slightly different look now and again. Like these kid-friendly chicken drumsticks rolled in crumbs of any sort.

A genteel and genuinely gentle sipper for lazy, languid nights–or days–that draws on gin, cucumber, fresh mint, club soda, and the lovely, lovely lilt of lemon.

Relax. We’re not suggesting you grill song birds. This recipe calls for a different type of dove. Scout’s honor. You’ll change your tune when you taste it. Trust us.

Longnecks, lots of shrimp, and beer. There’s little else a bash requires, in our minds, although we go it one better with three eminently easy dips.

Well, why not grill clams? It’s a tradition, in tandem with a splash of sake and soy, that’s endured in Japan for centuries. One taste and you’ll understand why.

If you’re a fool for sweet nougat and can’t get enough lovely nectarines in season, just wait until you try them in tandem, warm and fragrant from the grill.

Perhaps the easiest chutney ever, this calls for simply simmering apples, onion, curry powder, tomatoes, and sugar, and then ladling it into jars. See? Easy.

No ice cream maker required. Just watermelon, sweetness, citrus, and mint. Vodka optional. Scoop it up, place in pretty bowls, and accept the oohs and aahs.

Not your everyday vinaigrette, this one pushes the amount of balsamic to epic proportions—to great effect. Drizzle with impunity to lend anything oomph.

Ratatouille gets sliced, diced, deconstructed, and reimagined thanks to this fashionably brilliant approach to late-summer surplus. Oh, and pickled, too.

Definitely a nonconformist, this beauty of a burger melds lamb, pork, grilled onion, mustard, parsley, dill, fennel, cumin, lemon, and scallion. We dare you.
