This past weekend I had a scary realization: I am so far behind on posting the recipes we’ve tried over the past few months that I could post almost every day for the next week and only then will I catch up.

Baked sugar snap peas with radishes

So I decided I would. I’m going to post every day for the next week. And look I know you’re thinking: it’s unbecomingly warm and you’re probably on vacation or counting down to a and you honestly don’t give a damn about turning on a stove right now – and well unfortunately neither do I.

But that’s where these recipes come in. They’re side dishes and light mains and good potluck fare and some relatively simple desserts and you know the kind of stuff you might get if you rethink your No Cooking Until September stance. I promise not to saddle you with roasts or broths or Things With Fourteen Ingredients. The last week of July is not the time for that kind of noise.

The last week of July is the perfect time to check out the farm stands as everything is finally starting to come together. Last month Alex and I whipped up a quick dill sauté with some radishes and snap peas. I’ll admit that despite my love of dill I was a little apprehensive about a recipe that called for a whole teaspoon of dill seeds and a tablespoon of the fresh stuff—would it taste like a pickle? How would we even taste the other greens?—but strangely enough this large amount still lingered subtly in the background and we loved the dish. It was everything a heatwave dinner should be—fresh light and a reflection of what you can buy in Union Square today.
