Summer Squash Salad with Lemon & Parmesan, Savory Galette with Corn & Tomatoes, Quick-Pickled JalapeΓ±os & More


Friends, hello!

As you may know, we've spent the week at Lake George with Ben's family. The weather cooperated, our simple meal plan delivered, and the kids spent every second on the lake, swimming, fishing, wakeboarding.

As planned, we grilled every night, until the last, yesterday, when the groceries ran out, forcing us to order pizza instead πŸ•πŸ•

It came from the Hulett's Landing Marina, which has a lovely little shop with all the essentials from coffee and beer to pizza and dried pasta to great cheese and produce. While the pizzas baked, I picked up a few cartons of tomatoes as well as some summer squash, with which to make the above-pictured salad when we return home tonight.

It's been a wonderful week. I'm looking forward to making this corn and tomato galette, a David Lebovitz recipe, tonight as well as this zucchini parmesan later in the week. Find a few more summery recipes below. Hope all is well, Friends! β˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈ

As noted a few newsletters ago, recently my daughter and I dined at a local restaurant whose menu featured eggplant meatballs with Hazan tomato sauce and housemade ricotta. I ordered them, loved them, and began experimenting with various recipes in the days that followed. One method called for sautΓ©ing diced eggplant, skin and all, before purΓ©ing the flesh with seasonings and binders; another called for roasting the eggplant whole before doing the same. One method called for pan-frying the...

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is how to add X, Y, or Z ingredients to my loaf of sourdough bread. I have always added inclusions during the stretch and fold phase of the sourdough bread baking process, and as such, I have advised doing so upon being asked. Recently, I saw a recipe for an olive sourdough bread recipe that employs a different technique: lamination. Lamination calls for spreading the dough into a thin rectangle, scattering the inclusions over the top, then...

This week I found myself at home with one child and a broken refrigerator. It felt like the universe was telling me to go out to eat, to go have dinner with my 15-year-old, to go anywhere that won't distract from a conversation with my eldest, who seems happier and happier to slip away to her room for hours on end. And so I did, first to a local sushi restaurant, Wasabi, which we know and love, and last night, to Innovo Kitchen, a place I don't know well at all but whose patio, this time of...
