A confession: I nearly all the time pull again the sugar in a dessert recipe. (I’m sharing this right here as a result of I don’t suppose I’m alone.) I do that as a result of 1) I come from a house the place “not too candy” is the best reward a dessert can get; 2) I get cavities simply by fascinated with sweets; and three) I like, love, love recent fruit, and the very last thing I wish to do to my good, stunning, costly farmers’ market finds is boring their vibrant personalities with heaps of sugar.
So perhaps your eyes will widen like mine did on the first line of this blueberry cobbler recipe: “This cobbler, which comes from the kitchens of Chez Panisse, prizes the berries above all, utilizing solely ⅓ cup of sugar.” Only a third of a cup to sweeten 4 and a half cups of recent blueberries! No marvel the feedback on this Lindsey Remolif Shere recipe, tailored by Molly O’Neill, are glowing: “I’ve a couple of dozen cobbler recipes, this one is now primary,” and “I’ve made this many instances and it’s so scrumptious I may eat the entire thing on my own.” My favourite: “Everybody sat surprised after the primary chunk and we have been nearly speechless for a second.” A cobbler that clobbers.

I haven’t but made Sheree Sarabhaya’s kai yang — a recipe for Thai barbecue rooster tailored by Alexa Weibel — however I’m sure it can even be a showstopper. All our umami associates are right here on this marinade: oyster sauce, Golden Mountain seasoning sauce, fish sauce and soy sauce, with earthy turmeric, acidic lemongrass and spicy ginger rounding all the things out. Melissa Clark’s grilled salmon salad with lime, chiles and herbs is one other flavorful hit, the dressing right here based mostly on nước chấm. I’ll completely make extra salmon than I would like for dinner so I can pile leftovers on rice with sliced cucumbers for a incredible lunch.
One other confession: I like zucchini solely when it’s been cooked inside an inch of its life, on the verge of full collapse, so this new roasted zucchini and shrimp with za’atar yogurt from Melissa calls to me with its deeply caramelized and delicate half-moons. And whereas we’re speaking za’atar, I have to remind you that Ham El-Waylly’s za’atar and labneh spaghetti exists and that it’s so, so good.
Lastly, we’re coming into dips for dinner season, so I’ll go away you with a sizzling dip and a chilly dip. I’d simply destroy Yotam Ottolenghi’s new butter bean dip with frizzled onions and preserved lemon in a single sitting, which is OK, as a result of it’s principally beans (and beans are excellent for you). Equally, I might park myself near Margaux Laskey’s cowboy caviar at a cookout and steadily scoop away at this mixture of beans, corn, diced tomatoes and peppers. As Margaux notes, it’s additionally referred to as Texas caviar, and our Texan readers have shared loads of ideas within the feedback.
