Filet Mignon in a Cherry and Wine Reduction
/This is such a simple yet sophisticated and über-flavorful meal. Use best-quality filets, preferably from grass-fed happy cows.
Read MoreThough not a beef burger fan, I do love the idea of burgers, especially during summertime when you can sit outside, crack open a watermelon, pour some sweet tea and enjoy the sunshine. As such, I need non-beef burgers in my repetoire, and I prefer that they not look like pancakes or pucks, sad seconds to the juicy beef patties sharing grill space. I love real veggie burgers but chicken and/or turkey make the best substitutes for the "real" deal. This recipe is inspired by a southwestern turkey burger recipe I once had (white meat and chili) and by a delicious Aleppo-yogurt chicken kebab recipe I found on epicurious (chicken, Aleppo, yogurt). It's lighter than air, super moist and completely satisfying.
I made this salad up one night during a bout of inspiration and was incredibly pleased. It is refreshing, zingy and just lovely all around.

Read MoreThis recipe was in the Dec 2010 Bon Appétit and is absolutely divine. I once omitted the parsnips and just added more potatoes and the dish was still fabulous so feel free to be flexible. I've never served this on salad greens but tend to serve the veggies around the salmon on a large platter; you can garnish with rosemary sprigs if you want. Also, the wine deglazing is nice but not necessary, so if you don't have any red wine open or you don't want to open a bottle, just skip this. The salmon is so moist that no one will miss the wine drizzle.

I cannot adequately describe my love for this tart nor am I willing to tell you how many I make and eat during plum season. Suffice it to say that this is a truly outstanding, scrumptious, perfect, should-be-your summer dessert!
