Gingery Steak Banh Mi

We picked up some provisions at LA-based McCalls Meat + Fish to make an epic Steak Banh Mi with our Sweet Ginger BBQ. The combination of our gingery sauce with fresh veggies, herbs and crispy seared steak will transport you to another level of heaven.

Meatballs with Roasted Tomato Onion Salsa and whipped ricotta

Our Roasted Tomato Onion Salsa is super versatile and plays really nicely with the italian flavors of whipped ricotta and parmesan cheese.

Farmers Market Pizza

We are using the last of the season squash blossoms to make this delicate and light home-made pizza. Deceptively easy dinner the whole family will love.

A summer soup and note from Chef Mariana

Chef Partner Mariana wrote us the sweetest email, with a home-made recipe for Noodle Soup for a summer night when you're craving something a little cozy. We thought it was super cute (and written with love!), so we are passing it along with her recipe here.

Crispy Potatoes

Irresistibly crispy potatoes, a sweet ginger-scented dipping sauce, quick pickled red onions and a hit of parsley combine to make the most craveable summer dish. Perfectly enjoyed alongside whatever you might be pulling off the grill, and especially delicious shared with friends on a hot summer’s day.

Pasta Sciue Sciue

Pasta Sciue Sciue, which translates to pasta in a hurry (!) is one of my all time favorite family recipes. It was was of the first dishes I both ate as a kid in Italy and also learned how to make because it's just that easy. Plus what is there not to like about sweet cherry tomatoes and melty, gooey mozzarella?

Fried Zucchini Blossoms

This is our tried and true recipe for Fried Zucchini Blossoms that we make every summer on repeat. It's just that good.

Spring Cherry Tomato Gnocchi

This spring Cherry Tomato Gnocchi with fresh peas will instantly transport you to Rome (without the expensive plane tickets!)

Cacio e Pepe French Toast

Cacio e Pepe- what? Yep, french toast. It's like the best cacio e pepe pasta of your life but make it with bread. And, we take it to another level with drizzled yellow Cherry Tomato Sauce. No syrup needed, here, folks!

Sunny Mary

Not sure what to make with your leftover Our Pantry Cherry Tomato Sauce (or Cherry Tomato Arrabbiata?). Make this Sunny Mary.

Spring Graze Board

One of our favorite ways to entertain this spring is to go all out on a simple, gorgie graze board. It's the perfect snack and appetizer for any meal, no matter who you are entertaining. The secret is to shop for the most beautiful spring produce (think flowering broccolini and cauliflower) and pair it with your favorite olive oil and dipping sauce (hem hem).
