Gosh, this is a fun one. Your creativity can be limitless. All of the yumminess you dream of wrapping into this feta - give it a go.

Using the word “salsa” here as a more general heading of sauce. But man, this one surprised me. It tastes creamy, sweet, and then has that body of heat behind it. It gets better with time, so try and make this at least the day ahead.

I know this seems strange, but run - don’t walk to try this. Surprising and fun, the idea now has my mind spinning for all the different ways this technique can be used. I served this herbed labneh with warm bread meant for mopping and the contrast of the cold tomato ice and the warm bread was perfection.

Oh, golly. There is something next level about a real homemade dressing - so easy it comes together in a flash, yet so much better than anything you could buy in the store.

Ok—somehow I am so late to this party. I have always been a girl who has gone for the quick wilt of her greens and off the heat they go. Delicious - but as I am learning - definitely not the only way to go. In walks the slow braise greens. I’m in love.

This will convert any squash foe into a front-row seat squash fan. The long slow cook for the zucchini really is a game changer.

Cooking zucchini the same way one might treat a steak creates some incredible results. Give these puppies a solid sear and then throw them into the oven to finish. Simple and delicious.

There is so much flavor in this bowl. There is enough umami in each spoonful that I would swear there had to be mushrooms or some other secret ingredient - but there isn’t. The slow sweat of the onions and garlic does wonders to the complexity of this soup - plus as a bonus, leaves your kitchen smelling incredible.

Simple yet satisfying. I particularly enjoy eating this cold on a hot summer afternoon.
