Summer’s Here Recipes

It’s now officially summer, which (hopefully!) means sun-soaked days, leisurely evenings and produce-filled meals on the patio. Fittingly, this week we’ve captured the tastes of early summer, from crunchy radishes and baby bok choy to a bright, fresh risotto crafted from our own chicken stock and tossed with sugar snap peas, fava beans, mint, lemon zest and grey sea salt butter from Cherry Valley Dairy. Pair this dish with a glass of French red wine, a beautiful summery salad and grilled Pain au Levain bread, then sit back and enjoy the flavors of the season.
