a lovely, easy pink panzanella (summer simplicity

a lovely, easy pink panzanella (summer simplicity at its best!) 💗 nothing new here except that instead of quick-pickling my red onion just before assembly, I opted for a more vivid colour, crisper texture, and mellower flavour by planning ahead and leaving my sliced red onion to marinate in salted vinegar in the refrigerator overnight — if you choose to follow my lead, I promise your onion’s newfound beauty (and taste!) will be well worth the wait. once ready to make your salad, simply combine a few pickled onion slivers with freshly cut tomatoes, sliced cucumber, torn basil, and the usual evoo, sea salt + just-cracked black pepper combo, then toss a few cubes of stale bread through the seasoned onion vinegar so as to get some delicious pink-hued croutons. all that’s left to do then is assemble and enjoy! truly a great way to use up day-old bread, all while making the most of the season’s best fresh ingredients. all in all, an absolute delight 🥹✨

consider this an invitation to cook your peaches! especially if you’ve got lots and can’t wait for the one(s) you’ve been eyeing to ripen just so! choose a firm yellow peach, slice it into segments, then fry it on medium-low heat in a big pat of unsalted butter until each piece achieves a deep golden hue, its flesh gently surrendering to the tender poke of a knife’s tip — serve with thick cool yogurt, on toast or alone in a bowl, and let your mood (+ your kitchen’s contents) guide you as to how adventurous or conservative you’d like to be with your choice of sweet and/or savoury toppings (had I had some honey, thyme, or lavender when I made this, I may have snuck some into the pan along with the sizzling peaches; however, when in doubt, never underestimate the power of good ol’ evoo, salt & pepper 🙂‍↕️🍑🍯🍞🧈✨

keeping things simple and (mostly) unfussy with minty peas on toast — with fresh mozzarella + stracciatella, a hearty drizzle of evoo, a crunchy pinch of flaky sea salt & an abundance of microplaned lemon zest 🍃🍋

sweet macerated strawberries + fig leaf-infused custard together make for the loveliest of treats on an early summer’s day 🍨✨🍧 airy, coconutty, half-frozen perfection in the form of a double-layered semifreddo (served with extra cream & strawberries for extra delight!)
