There is nothing like the height of summer for delicious produce, simply prepared. Some friends stop by to celebrate the season starting with Top Chef winner Hung Huynh. His Grilled Shrimp in Lettuce wraps is delicious, portable and light in calories. Then my buddy Giuseppe Fanelli makes Agnello Scottaditoa, a gorgeous lamb dish dressed with fresh heirloom tomatoes.

Nectarine and Plum Upside-down Cake

When fresh stone fruit are in season there’s no better time to try this easy dessert based on my 10-minute Basic Yellow Cake recipe.

For a classic make-ahead meal, serve this family favorite on Homemade Beer Bread with my quick Refrigerator Pickles.

The reduced grapefruit juice dressing adds a highlight to this refreshing seafood salad.

For this recipe, I make homemade butter from heavy cream. This can be done ahead and refrigerated or frozen or you can use quality prepared butter from the market.

Penne with Cherry Tomatoes and Goat Cheese

Slow roasting brings out the flavor of the cherry tomatoes in this colorful vegetarian dish. Add fresh basil and goat cheese for a quick entree.
