What's On My Table | A Summer Recipe Round-Up
There's something so special about a summer spread. It's never fussy, full of vibrant flavors, and best enjoyed outdoors and in good company. Just good food, made simply, eaten outside or with the windows open, usually with more people than chairs. A drink that's cold. Something savory that didn't require the oven to be on for two hours. Something sweet at the end that doesn't feel heavy.
This is everything that's been on my table this season: the drinks I've been making on repeat, the savory dishes that turn a handful of summer produce into delicious bites, and the desserts that feel indulgent without weighing you down.
You'll find our herbal honeys, finishing salts, elixirs, and teas woven into simple, healthy summer recipes that taste just like the season: bright, unfussy, and better when shared.
Pull up a chair. Here's what's on my table this summer:
