Grilled Scallops with Lemony Salsa Verde
Chop up a lemon—flesh, rind, and all—and stir it into an herby salsa to spoon over sweet charred scallops.
Chi Spacca's Bistecca Fiorentina
If you don't enjoy very rare meat, keep these steaks on the grill until they reach 120°; they'll still be rare, but less aggressively so.
Fruit Salad with Fennel, Watercress, and Smoked Salt
Feel free to adapt this fruit salad as the seasons change; aim for a mix of juicy fruit (like melon), stone fruit, and berries.
Squid Salad with Cucumber, Watercress, and Cilantro
A dressing of only vinegar and chili oil ties this salad together.
Grilled Split Lobster
Splitting lobsters in half makes them easier to grill—and eat.
Jicama, Radish, and Pickled Plum Salad
Inspired by chile salt-sprinkled mangos, this salad is so deftly seasoned, you won't even notice there's not a drop of oil in the whole dish.
Grilled Fennel-Rubbed Triple-Cut Pork Chops
To get a true reading on the chops, make sure the thermometer is dead in the center and not too close to the bones, where the temperature will be higher.
Grilled Porcini-Rubbed Rack of Veal
Colby loves grass-fed, a.k.a. red, veal for its marbling and color, but regular milk-fed veal will work well. He often brines his meat, too.
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.
Coconut And Cream Float
Pour in the soda slowly, allowing it to cascade over the ice cream, then top off until the glass is full.
Peach and Fizzy Grapefruit Float
In case of sunshine and happiness, make this colorful ice cream float! Spiking it with some booze makes it even tastier.
Green Tea And Ginger Beer Float
Chill glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to keep the ice cream from melting into the ginger beer too quickly.
Snap Peas and Green Beans with Arugula-Mint Pesto
When not using this pesto to dress this very green salad, you could schmear it on just about any sandwich, or stir it into scrambled eggs.
Sweet-and-Spicy Ribs
These meaty ribs are purposely precooked until very tender but not yet falling off the bone so they don't shred when it's time to grill them.
Potato Salad with 7-Minute Eggs and Mustard Vinaigrette
Egg salad and potato salad: Unite! We like how the still-soft yolks dress the salad, but you can cook the eggs a minute or two longer if you like them more set.
Cucumber and Charred Onion Salad
Somewhere between a condiment and a side; this would be great spooned right onto a burger.
Grilled Short Ribs with Sesame-Chipotle Mole
The classic slow-cooked cut is moving into the fast lane, grilled and paired with a mole that's ready in a flash
