While heirloom tomatoes are certainly best fresh, a whole realm of possibilities opens up when you apply a little heat. This cioppino uses fresh heirlooms as a base, making for a stew that’s packed with real tomato flavor. Sure it’s summer, but trust us – you won’t want to wait for winter once you try it!

Pickles? With MY heirloom tomatoes?! You bet! Tangy and salty, these tomato pickles are great on their own or as a part of a dish. Try them with a little fresh burrata cheese for a funky take on caprese or add them to a salad for a sour bite.

Heirloom tomatoes, pork, and beef come together to form this sauce of the gods. Serve it tossed with fresh penne pasta for a delicious weeknight dinner or dish it up with creamy, cheesy polenta for an easy meal that feels luxurious.

This week, we’re throwing it all on the grill, and there’s nothing that grills up quite so nice as a piece of sumptuous pound cake. Dished up with fresh berries and ice cream, this cake is crispy on the outside and decadently soft on the inside; try it as a creative end to a barbecue or dish it up as an easy weeknight dessert!

Holy Halloumi, talk about the ultimate grilled cheese! No, seriously, we’re straight up grilling cheese – it’s delicious. This specialty of Cyprus is crafted from sheep’s milk and boasts an extremely high melting point, meaning you can in fact throw it straight on the grill. Use it to liven up kebobs, dish it up with grilled bread, or enjoy it as a sweet-salty treat with fresh watermelon.

Looking for something refreshing and a little boozy for summer? Look no further than this incredible cooler! Fresh honeydew and cucumbers plus a shot (or more) of gin makes this cocktail both tremendously thirst-quenching and great for a party. With a little mint to brighten things up, you’ve got a cocktail that just won’t quit!

Peppery, sweet, and with just the right amount of heat, this salad is a total winner! We’ve used canary melons for their subtle sweetness and excellent texture, but you could do this with any melon you prefer.
