Peach Caprese Party Sub with Burrata

August 22, 2022 No Comments

Okay, I know everyone and their dog is putting burrata on everything right now. And I realize this blog needs another burrata recipe like I need another hole in my head. But I just can’t say no to this beautiful, luxurious cheese. It’s so magical and visually impactful – it’s basically a food stylist and recipe developer’s dream. And in the summer? Well, come on, name me a more summer-friendly cheese. And yes, I realize burrata’s most frequent companions are tomatoes and peaches and here I am with all three on a giant sandwich. What can I say? I’m basic and so is this Peach Caprese Party Sub. But being basic doesn’t mean you can’t be delicious.

Apricot and Olive Focaccia with Honey and Pistachios

Jump to Recipe

Summer may be winding down but I’m going to keep the picnic and patio food coming. As a Canadian, I am hearty when it comes to cold weather. I will gladly sit on a patio deep into November. And if apricots were in-season that far into the fall, I would happily eat this Apricot and Olive Focaccia while I did it. This bread is studded with fresh apricot wedges and Kalamata olives before being baked to golden perfection. It is then glazed with honey while it’s still hot and sprinkled with crushed salted pistachios. Focaccia may be traditionally billed as a starter but this focaccia eats like a meal. In fact, I ate half of this for dinner and it was a solid choice all around.

Today I bring you a briny, creamy hybrid of a dish, that I’m almost shocked worked out so well. Say hello to the Puttanesca Potato Salad. What you’re looking at here is tender baby potatoes dressed with a sauce of blistered cherry tomatoes accented with anchovy and dry vermouth and studded with black olives and capers. The salad is finished with a dollop of mayo and fresh parsley and dill. The result is a pitch-perfect mash-up of a rudely named pasta dish and a much beloved and indulgent BBQ side. This is such a good one, so let’s dive right in.

We are emerging from another heatwave here in Toronto. The humidity and 30°+ temperatures were kind enough to stick around long enough for me to shoot this Matcha Pistachio Icebox Cake. If you’re finding your life is a little too chill I highly recommend doing a photo shoot of an ice-cream-anything during a heatwave. It really elevates the heart rate. But if you’re making this icebox beauty for you and some pals, you’ll be fine even in 30°C weather because this cake is surprisingly simple to make. All you need is a couple of pints of ice cream, a batch of homemade cookies, and a little patience. There are quite a few chilling interludes in this recipe. So let’s dive right in!
