Upgrade your campfire treats with soft honey-cinnamon cookies slicked with melted chocolate and two toasted, charred marshmallows.

Creamy Tahini Sauce, Three Ways

Serve this ultra-creamy tahini sauce with grilled meats or roasted vegetables, or use it as a base for a silky avocado dip or an herby salad dressing.

Lamb Chops with Pistachio Salsa Verde

This bright, parsley-and-mint–packed sauce is the perfect accompaniment to grilled lamb chops.

Grilled Steak, Vegetable, and Quinoa Salad

Grilled fennel, tomatoes, and scallions, plus cumin-rubbed grilled steak, turn this quinoa salad into a one-dish dinner you'll want to keep serving all summer long.

Bibb Lettuce, Chicken, and Cherry Salad

Toss the first juicy, sweet cherries of the season into this salad, along with rotisserie chicken and a vibrant creamy horseradish dressing.

Pan Bagnat Sandwich with Tuna, Anchovies, and Parsley

When you think about it, "Pan Bagnat" is just a fancy way of saying "the best of all possible summer sandwiches." Unlike the typical tuna on wheat, this Provençal classic only gets better as sits, making it just the thing for picnics, backyard suppers, and last-minute road trips. And its briny, garlicky flavors beat plain old mayo any day.

The Mosé

This cocktail takes all the best elements of a margarita—tequila, citrus, and sugar—and combines them with the dry, summery fun of rosé.

Five-Bean Salad with Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette

The rich Spanish flavors of smoked paprika and Marcona almonds are balanced by the bright freshness of parsley and celery in this update on a classic side dish.

Spiced Paprika Butter

Hold-The-Lime Guacamole

Lime is an integral part of great guacamole—or so we thought. Turns out, you get to taste and enjoy the pure flavor of avocado better in guacamole without the lime.

Peach-Raspberry Pie With Press-In Crust

Sweet peaches and tart raspberries are natural partners in this summery pie, which has the easiest crust—i.e. no rolling required—you’ll ever make.

Pork Banh Mi with Quick-Pickled Radishes and Carrots

The Banh Mi, arguably the greatest international sandwich, is easy to replicate at home. Letting the pickled radishes and carrots age a few days strengthens their tang and helps balance the rich pork.

Grilled Maple-Butter Apricots with Vanilla Ice Cream

Step aside pancakes; butter and maple syrup is a combination worthy of the ripest grilled summer fruits. Can't find apricots? Try this recipe with peaches or plums for a fantastic ice cream topping.

Grilled Corn, Zucchini, and Black Bean Quesadillas

Cooking corn this way adds a depth of flavor from the husk and keeps the kernels from drying out. Tossed together with zucchini and scallions, these quesadillas make for a super-satisfying vegetarian dinner.

Foil Pack Potatoes With Rosemary and Garlic

These potatoes steam away in the coals while you grill the rest of your meal. If you're not eating them right away, keep them in their foil pouches and rewarm them on the grill or in a 350°F oven before serving.

Garlic and Herb Spatchcock Grilled Chicken

Spatchcocking (or splitting and flattening) this Italian-flavored chicken before grilling helps it cook more quickly and evenly.

Brown Sugar BBQ Pork Butt

You could bake this hunk of meat in an oven, but you'd be missing out on all that smoky flavor you'd be getting from the grill.

Pok Pok-Style Hot Wings with Peanuts and Cilantro

Want crispy and delicious wings fast? Avoid the mess of frying oil and go for a quick oven-roast. Inspired by the version served by chef Andy Ricker at his Brooklyn and Portland Pok Pok restaurants, these wings get doused in a sweet and savory glaze and rolled in a spicy, crunchy topping.

Summer Chef's Salad with Grilled Pork, Chicken, and Chimichurri Ranch Dressing

This standard diner salad may have petered out in the early '90s, but this version reminds us why it was popular in the first place. Smoky chicken and pork stand in for the typical drab turkey and ham, and the addition of herb-packed chimichurri dressing makes this salad fresh again.

Sonoran Hot Dogs

Bacon-wrapped franks, pinto beans, avocado, and mayo are balanced by pickled jalapeños and salsa in this summertime favorite.
