Heirloom Tomato, Summer Peach and Fresh Herb Gazpacho Salad

by SUSIE MIDDLETON

Sesame-Ginger Marinated Grilled Shiitakes

by SUSIE MIDDLETON

The marinating time in this recipe is short, so you can heat your grill while you’re prepping. Buy your shiitakes from a bulk bin, so that you can pick out the biggest ones. Large or medium caps are best for grilling; the little ones tend to fall through the cracks.

Stir-Fried Swiss Chard with Pine Nuts and Balsamic Butter

by SUSIE MIDDLETON

French Lemon Tart

by ROSE MURRAY
