Tapenade

Tapenade is a classic Provençal spread traditionally made with punchy ingredients like Niçoise olives, garlic, anchovies, and capers. Because of its bold flavor, it tends to be a love-it-or-leave-it kind of dish—but this version is a little more mellow and crowd-friendly, thanks to buttery Castelvetrano olives and garlic that's gently cooked in olive oil to take the edge off. It still has all the briny, savory goodness you expect, just a little softer around the edges.

Shrimp Scampi with Pasta
Shrimp scampi with noodles in a large bowl.

Shrimp scampi—succulent shrimp tossed in a garlicky butter sauce with white wine and lemon—is one of those simple dishes that always feels a little special. It's often served over pasta, but too many versions skimp on the sauce and leave the noodles bland. In this one, the shrimp and pasta share the spotlight. I like using angel hair or capellini—the delicate strands soak up every drop of garlicky, lemony goodness.

Lemon Ice

I first tried this refreshing summer dessert at my friend Joanne's house (yes, the same Joanne known for her incredible homemade pickles). It's the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and every spoonful tastes like pure summer sunshine. The texture is similar to store-bought lemon ice, but just a bit creamier and richer.
