A Cretan salad is in fact very similar to the well-known Greek salad, but has mizithra—traditional goat cheese–or goat curds instead of feta, as well as broken Cretan barley rusks (paksimadia). Sometimes you may also find capers or caper leaves, purslane, and even a few leaves of basil. For me, this is one of the…
Zucchini and Feta Fritters
In the summer months in our restaurant, we used to grate about 24 pounds of zucchini every evening for these. It was incredible how many of them would be ordered. We used just feta in the original recipe but the addition of some hard cheese only makes them better. They are a perfect snack after…
China Braces for Summer Floods as 71 Rivers Exceed Warning Levels
SHANGHAI—China is bracing for a heavy flood season with 71 rivers already exceeding warning levels, the Chinese regime’s Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday. Rain in some parts of central and southern China has hit record highs in recent weeks even though overall precipitation is about 10 percent lower this year compared with last year,…
Spicy Beef Sliders
These two-bite sliders are juicy and flavorful, and definitely pack a punch! Hawaiian rolls are the perfect size; you can cut out the centers if you prefer a thinner bun. I mix ground meat with diced jalapeño peppers, parsley, and cotija cheese, then cook the patties on the grill, alongside the Hawaiian rolls. Spread the…
Grilled Corn With Cotija Cream
This Mexican street corn-inspired grilled corn recipe is absolutely mandatory to make during the summer; it goes from grill to table in about 10 minutes. I spread the cooked ears with a creamy sauce made with Greek yogurt, sour cream, and lime juice. You can make the sauce with mayonnaise, but in the heat of…
Grilled Salmon Lettuce Sliders With Caper Mayonnaise
Less is more for salmon, as I want the flavor of the fish to come through. For these lettuce-wrapped “sliders,” I grill bite-sized pieces of salmon and serve them in Boston lettuce cups, spread with a creamy, mayo-based sauce, made bright and tangy with lemon and capers. Other garnishes that may work are slices of…
Potato Salad With Fresh Herbs
This simple potato salad is made with baby red potatoes, olive oil, garlic, and masses of fresh herbs. Toss it together while the potatoes are warm, so they absorb all those wonderful flavors, but serve at room temperature or chilled. I make it in the morning and take it out of the fridge 20 minutes…
The Simple Joy of Arranging Flowers
One of the habits I most looked forward to in becoming an adult was buying my own flowers for my dining room table. I remember cashing my first paycheck as a green 22 year old, freshly out of college and starting my first job. I went straight to the grocery store and purchased sparkling water,…
The Return of Summer Travel
Everyone knows that COVID forced a screeching halt in the way of the world as we knew it—and that beyond our day-to-day routines, the cancellations and adjustments included our celebrations, extracurricular activities, and vacation plans, too. “We have traveled to Maui every August for the last eight years, except last year,” shares Keri Baugh, who…

Let this Memorial Day be the official kickoff of summer and the barbecue season. These ribs are finger-licking good with sweet and smoky flavor. A simple spice rub…
