Nourish: August Fruit of the Month — Blackberries
This bruschetta is what happens when you give fresh blackberries five extra minutes and a piece of grilled bread. Ten minutes of maceration with honey and balsamic turns them jammy and intensely flavored. Spoon them over whipped ricotta on charred bread and it's done. It tastes like a dinner party starter and takes about as long as setting the table.
Nourish: August Vegetable of the Month — Zucchini
Peeling zucchini into thin ribbons changes the vegetable entirely. What's usually roasted or sautéed becomes something delicate and raw, dressed simply with lemon, olive oil, and a spoonful of ricotta. This Zucchini Ribbon Salad is fifteen minutes, no heat required, and genuinely one of the most elegant things you can do with a summer garden vegetable.
Nourish: July Vegetable of the Month — Corn
Fresh corn has exactly one speed: now. The moment it comes off the stalk, the sugars start converting to starch and the window for corn that actually tastes like corn starts closing. This version doesn't overthink it — a hot grill, a creamy chili-lime topping, enough cotija to feel slightly reckless. The kind of side dish that becomes the thing everyone talks about.
Nourish: June Vegetable of the Month — Green Beans
Ten minutes, one pan, and the best green beans of the year. June is peak season for this quiet, reliable vegetable — and this garlic lemon recipe is all you need to let them shine.
Nourish: May Vegetable of the Month — Radishes
Roasted radishes sound like a gimmick. They are not a gimmick. May is radish season, and this simple tray of honey-roasted radishes — caramelised, sweet, and nothing like their raw selves — might be the seasonal discovery that changes how you think about this overlooked vegetable.
