We wanted a boiled potatoes recipe that used Mediterranean ingredients for a flavor punch. To achieve this, we used garlic, lemon, and feta. Zesting only the bright yellow outer peel of the lemon brightened our Boiled Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Feta recipe by avoiding the white pith underneath the peel, which can impart a bitter flavor.

Yee’s recipe for a bang-up grilled cheese includes an Emmy-worthy tomato jam, something you can use to pump up a multitude of dishes, including turkey burgers and cheese plates. 

When summer temperatures hit their peak, my go-to morning pick-me-up is a cold, tall glass of cold brew. I own a couple of dedicated cold-brew coffee makers (and three hot coffee machines—please don’t judge me; I cover everything coffee at CR), but you don’t need a machine to make your own cold brew. All you need are two lidded jars or pitchers and a coffee filter.
