Summer grilling is upon us and first on my list of must-make dishes is kebabs! Specially, ground lamb kebabs! They’re tender, juicy, and full of flavor with warm spices, fresh cilantro, and (one of my favorite cheese!) lots of feta. Kebabs can easily be prepped a day in advance, then grilled to order when your guests arrive. Pair them with any creamy garlicky yogurt sauce (tzatziki, toum, or a simple Greek yogurt and herb sauce). For extra flavor, I’ll top them with pickled red onions and fresh mint. A winning…

My Go-To Sauce For Everything! Say hello to my current obsession: Marry Me Sauce! A rich, creamy sauce flavored with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and typically made with cream. In my version, I use coconut milk, not because I’m dairy-free (there’s actually a good deal of cheese in here!), but because I prefer the lighter texture and subtle sweetness that results.

If I had to pick one lunch recipe to eat for the rest of my life, it would be this Burrata Sandwich with Mortadella! The combination of cool, creamy burrata cheese with silky, melt-in-your-mouth slices of mortadella, nutty pistachio pesto, and chewy ciabatta bread is so well balanced. If you’re not familiar with mortadella, it’s an emulsified Italian pork sausage that is studded with pork fat and pistachios. Perhaps not the best description, but my god the flavor! It’s hands down my favorite Italian cold cut, and I like it…
