A Favorite Way to Cook Corn, Plus Corn Pizza, Corn Wedge, & 7 Summery Recipes To Make This Week
β
Friends, hello from Lake George π
Earlier this week I bought the first local corn of the season, a dozen and a half ears for the 13 of us staying at Lake George.*
I cooked them as I most often do in the summer: steamed in a little bit of water in a covered pot for about 5 minutes. When cooking corn for a crowd, this is what I do: stuff the ears, broken in half, into a large pot, add two cups of water, cover with foil, bring to a boil, then set a timer for 5 minutes.
When the timer dings, turn off the heat and let the corn sit until serving time, another 5 to 10 minutes or so.
Friends! Is there anything better than the first corn of the season?
We ate it aside chicken souvlaki, tzatziki, and warm bread. It was heaven. Here are 2 favorite corn recipes I'm so looking forward to making:
Deborah Madison's Corn Frittersβ
βFresh Corn Polenta: It's truly one of my all-time favorite things to eat.
*We stay at a place called Stepping Stones in Diamond Point, which my in-laws discovered 8 years ago when they first moved out here. I canβt recommend it enough.
Pizza Book Update: Pizza Night
All of this corn talk has me excited to share two recipes from my pizza book, Pizza Night, which will be released next April: the above-pictured corn pizza with roasted hatch chilies and Oaxaca cheese, and the below-pictured summer wedge salad with blistered corn, tomatoes, and herby ranch dressing.
Friends, the editing process is nearly complete, and I cannot wait both for the process to be done and to share it all with you πππ₯π₯

Friends, hello. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, filled with delicious meals, lots of family time, cozy fires, snowy skies, and maybe a nap or two. If you're gearing up for a New Year's Eve gathering, I hope you feel rested... I'll be spending it in sweatpants on my sister's couch, and I am so looking forward to it. Yesterday, the day after Christmas, I made turkey tetrazzini with leftover braised* turkey leg meat. A few weeks ago, just after Thanksgiving, I shared the tetrazzini...
Hi Friends, I didn't think I'd pop in here till after Christmas, but as I began drafting my shopping list, I found myself thinking about Christmas morning and how, in addition to having something sweet on the table, it is so nice to have something savory, like this, this, or these. Also, I can't tell you the number of times Christmas morning has rolled around, and I have opened the fridge to find zero eggs. Stewart's to the rescue! Below you'll find 10 favorite holiday brunch ideas, both...
Friends, hello! This week I found myself baking for all the various things β cookie exchanges, secret Santa events, teachers' and coaches' gifts. Of all the things I baked β shortbread, peppermint bark, cream cheese cutouts, and peasant bread β I found the peasant bread to be the easiest/least demanding of all, and found myself thinking: next year, it will be peasant bread for all! Friends, if you've found yourself in a baking/gifting marathon this week, I hope it's gone smoothly, and I hope...
