The arrival of summer screams for the most classic of all backyard grillable foods – the burger! These buns are quick and easy (25 minutes) to make and keep well in the freezer. Golden brown on the outside, sweet and soft on the inside, these whole grain buns are the perfect base for a classic beef or bean burger, portabella mushroom or grilled chicken breast.

Fresh Corn Masa

Once you master the simple and ancient process of nixtamalization, it’s easy to whip up your own tacos, memelas (see recipe below!) sopes, tamales, or pozole. Warning, once you have the real deal, there’s no going back to the industrialized imitations found all over!

Pizza Moussaka

Almost any dish you can think of can be adapted for pizza, including the Greek national dish with its rich, creamy layers of lamb and eggplant. This pizza – and this moussaka – are far from traditional, but every tradition starts as a creative idea.

Fresh Flour Tortillas for Burritos and Quesadillas

Originating in northern Mexico and beloved throughout the world, flour tortillas are versatile, delicious and practical. Fill them with beans, cheese, vegetables and meat for a hearty burrito, or flatten them out on a griddle for a crispy quesadilla dripping with melted cheese.

Whole Rye White Clam Pie

This is my spin on the famous white clam pizza hailing from New Haven, Connecticut. The addition of grilled sweet onions, cherry tomatoes, and parsley on top of the crispy whole rye crust take things to a new level. While you can use any grateable cheese, like parmesan or romano, I prefer aged asiago. You can also add mushrooms or capers, and substitute with your choice of protein, such as shrimp, lobster, chicken, or pork belly.

Spring Pancakes

Spring pancakes originated in northern China at least 1,500 years ago. Traditionally, they were eaten on the solstice to celebrate the beginning of spring. These chewy little wrappers are also filled and deep fried to make spring rolls.

Moo Shu Pork

Like spring pancakes, this dish originates from the Shandong province, but Chinese American chefs have adapted it to locally available ingredients. The Chinese version is made with pork, egg, bamboo shoots, day lily, wood ear mushrooms, and seasoned with soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger, while the Chinese American version replaces the cucumber and day lilies with cabbage and carrots.

The original Italian hot pocket, the calzone was popularized by street venders in 18th century Naples as a pizza-on-the-go. Our ultimate King of Calzones is loaded with ricotta and cheddar, fresh broccoli, caramelized onions, garlic and red peppers, folded into a bubbly cheese crust.

Tzatziki

With the refreshing taste of yogurt, and the subtle tang of citrus and herbs, Tzatziki is a simple but stunning compliment to hummus and pita bread, as a topping for grilled meats and vegetables, and a dip for raw veggies.
