Clams in Saffron–White Wine Sauce With Garlic Bread
There is something festive and celebratory about a pot of clams. To me, it is always a treat, evoking summer memories of blissful coastal feasts, languid lunches, and good times.

Cold Summer Soups From Spain
Soup and hot summer weather never seemed like a good combo to me—until I met gazpacho, of course.

Berenjenas Fritas con Miel (Fried Eggplant With Orange Blossom Honey)
You won’t be able to stop eating these deep-fried eggplant strips. The combination of crisp outsides and tender, creamy insides makes this classic Spanish tapa totally irresistible.
