This salad is simple as summer, with the season’s biggest flavor powerhouse ingredients. Serve it as a side dish or as a main course topped with grilled shrimp or stewed beans. We love it for lunch with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the vinaigrette.

Fried eggs call for perfectly fresh eggs, the correct heat level, an appropriate amount of cooking fat, and a deft hand. In this video, we’ll show you how to achieve a finished product that has a shiny, tender, fully set white and a fairly compact shape.

If your garden is bursting with fragrant herbs and any variety of green chile, this recipe is for you. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, a crusty loaf of bread or soft flatbread makes this a flavor-packed meal for any day of the week.

Laminated dough is dough with layers of butter folded in before using. It is what makes flaky layers in puff pastry and pastries like croissants. It takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to prepare and fun to use!

This may have more steps than your typical meatloaf, but it's worth it! Plus, you can cook the entire vegetable portion of this recipe a few days ahead of time (or weeks--freeze it!).
