Midsummer Splendor Recipes
As summer produce continues to ripen apace—from broccolini and carrots in the gardens to juicy peaches and cherries in the orchards—this week’s box puts the seasonal bounty to delicious use in a farm-fresh menu starring lemony risotto topped with bright cherry tomatoes and a plethora of fresh herbs, plus a rustic Italian loaf and fruity Yakima Valley Sauvignon Blanc to serve alongside. Blueberry jam, Grana-style cheese and freshly-picked garden greens also help to anchor this midsummer meal.
