There really is nothing better this time of year than perfectly cooked clams and lots of bread to soak up their juices with. Especially if the cooking vessel is so sleek and chic that you can serve them right off the stove. Truly my favorite thing is to quickly whip them up in my @lecreuset braiser in Onyx on a Friday night and then bring them out on the deck to share with my husband. Pair them with cold beverages and a good yap and I’m … happy as a clam. Ha. Sorry!

Ingredients:

3 lbs clams, washed and cleaned

3 tbsp olive oil

6 cloves of garlic, smashed

1 large shallot, finely diced

3-4 parsley stems, finely diced

1 tsp chili pepper flakes

2 tbsp Calabrian chili paste (use less for less spice)

1 tsp lemon zest

3/4 cup broth or white wine

1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Garnish: Parsley and sliced red peppers

Instructions:

Step 1: Soak clams in heavily salted cold water for 30 minutes. Then rinse them thoroughly and discard any with shells that are broken, cracked, or open.

Step 2: Heat olive oil over medium heat in the Le Creuset 5 qt braiser, then add garlic, shallots, parsley stems, and fry until gently golden brown, then add pepper flakes and Calabrian chili paste and cook for one more minute.

Step 3: Pour in broth or white wine and bring up to a simmer then add clams and lemon zest and cover. Steam for 4 to 6 minutes or until the clams are opened. Discard any that do not open.

Step 4: Garnish with parsley, sliced red peppers and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve with fried bread.

This honey butter toast is like French Toast’s more sophisticated cousin, no shade to French Toast, of course. 😌 You can go to Arome bakery in London if you want some - or make it at home with the recipe below! 👇🏽 I used @taylorpasshoneyusa Manuka honey and it added a really nice depth of flavor. Get your hands on some on their website (www.taylorpasshoney.com) or order it from instacart. 🫶🏽

Ingredients:
1 loaf of challah bread
8 tablespoons softened butter
3 tablespoons @taylorpasshoneyusa
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
Splash of vanilla extract

To serve:
Vanilla ice cream
Salted Carmel or more honey

Recipe / instructions / method:

Step 1: Cut the challah bread into thick slices- I got 6 slices out of one loaf. Then trim off the excess (no need to waste this, you can turn it into French toast or bread pudding).

Step 2: Mix the butter, brown sugar and honey together to make a smooth compound, then slather it on all sides of the sliced challah bread.

Step 3: Arrange the slices on a parchment lined baking sheet, then bake at 360 F for about 8-10 minutes. Flip, then bake for another 8-10 minutes. Let the color be your guide. You want a nice deep brown, but not burnt.

Step 4: Remove from the oven and place the slices on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes. The coating will harden as it sits. Serve with ice cream and warm salted caramel or an extra drizzle of honey. 🍯

To be fair, other mangoes really don’t taste anything like a Pakistani mangoes. Literally every variety of mango from the subcontinent is heaven on earth.

Currently in a very lemonade centric period of my life. Here’s one I’ve been enjoying a lot! Also, of course I didn’t film the clip of the salt going in. ☹️ sorry!

Salty Peach jalapeno lemonade
20 g jalapeno (1 medium)
200 g peaches (3 medium)
125 g lemon juice (1 medium)
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups water
Lots of ice

Instructions:
Place all ingredients except water and ice into a container, and use a muddler (or the back of a wooden spoon) to smash them into a pulp. Add water and taste. Adjust for sugar, salt, spice or sourness to taste, or add more water to dilute. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then serve strained or unstrained over ice. by @sophandspice

I am deeeeep in stone fruit season and I think at this point I’ve consumed twice my weight in cherries. 🤠

Cherry crumble:
4 cups cherries, pitted
1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar (depending on how sweet your cherries are)
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tsp lemon zest
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Crumble topping:
1 cup AP flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 tbsp @kerrygoldusa butter

Instructions:
Step 1: CAREFULLY remove cherry pits.
Step 2: Combine cherries with sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and corn starch. Pour into a baking dish and set aside.
Step 3: combine flour, sugar and cubed very very cold butter in a dish, and crumble with your hands quickly. Do not allow the butter to melt but do this until it clumps nicely in your hand.
Step 4: Sprinkle the crumble over the cherries and bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes or until the cherries are fully bubbling and the crumble is cooked through. Optionally you can stick it under the broiler for an additional 2-5 minutes to get extra color and crisp on the crumble topping. Just as long as your dish is broiler safe.

Recipe number 2 in my tomato series is this basil and tomato BLT. A little more work than a regular BLT but well worth it!

Ingredients:
Toasted white bread
Basil mayo*
Heirloom tomatoes sprinkled with chicken salt
Chili crisp
Bacon
Fresh Thai basil

To make basil mayo, blend 1/2 mayo with 15 clean basil leaves, one small garlic clove, 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp lemon zest and salt to taste.
