I hate tonic so I drink my gin with lime juice. — Giulia Melucci
Just this once, I let in another countertop squatter: the SodaStream. We've been getting to know each other over the past few weeks. And I now have a small but burgeoning repertory of summer drinks. — Amanda
We love the simple, rustic quality of this dish -- and its ability to inspire endless adaptations: you can use a different herb for the pesto, dab with ricotta instead of lemon cream, or top with a fried egg. — A&M
We wish more people would grill or broil oysters -- it's so easy and the quick blast of heat concentrates the oysters' brine and browns their tips without drying them out. — A&M
In summer, we say the more burgers, the better. This one provides a spunky break from beef, pork and turkey, opting instead for fresh shrimp dotted with confetti-like accents of red pepper, fennel fronds and orange zest. — A&M
The confit is the star of the dish and really helps to make a basic herb chicken cutlet special. — A&M
