1) I’m currently a little obsessed with feta — really, it’s a constant love, but right now it’s in overdrive. The veggie naan’wich with chickpea feta mash is calling my name; the creamy, tangy feta combined with a hearty chickpea mash sounds like the perfect sandwich filling.
2) I’m enjoying Adrianna’s new blog series. The format is smart and engaging: the first post highlights a local bakery or restaurant in the Los Angeles area, and the follow-up goes behind the scenes to share a chef’s favorite recipe or technique. There’s useful, approachable kitchen wisdom here — including an amusing reminder that brown butter can get away from you if you’re not watching it.
3) Peach cobbler scones are on my baking radar. The idea of tender scones studded with juicy peaches and a cobbler-like topping is irresistible for summer baking.
4) My mom recently gave me Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage Veg. I’ll admit I sometimes find vegetarian cookbooks uninspiring, but this one feels different: the recipes are creative, thoughtfully composed, and feel like real, satisfying dishes rather than compromises. It’s a cookbook I can recommend for fresh ideas and inventive vegetable-focused meals.
5) I’m craving a bowl of the flavor bomb greens ‘n’ noodles. Bright, herb-forward greens paired with noodles and bold seasoning sounds like a fast, nourishing meal — someone please make one and pass it over.
6) I’ve been following a great series lately, and one recent installment focuses on slow-roasted tomatoes. With farmer’s markets just starting to offer excellent tomatoes, I’m tempted to roast a few pans and jar them for the fridge. They make an easy, flavorful shortcut for many weeknight meals.
