Recipe notes

Beergarita

The beergarita perfectly encapsulates laid-back summer sipping in a single pitcher, combining the familiarity of a margarita with the effervescence of beer.

Mint Julep

A strip of lemon zest balances this refreshing spring classic.

Vodka Gochujang Pasta

This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.

Curried Yellow Squash Soup

Creamy, bright, and wonderfully aromatic with ginger and garlic.

Green Beans With Tahini Sbagliato

An accidental recipe (sbagliatio means mistaken in Italian) yields a delicious herby tahini dressing that is excellent poured over lightly blanched green beans.
