What to cook in August 🌿🍅
|
Hi Friends Reader Happy August! If there is one month when the garden really tells us what to cook, it's August. Instead of starting with a recipe and making a shopping list, I love looking at what's ready in the garden, what came in the CSA box, or what looks especially beautiful at the farmers' market—and letting that decide what's for dinner. So, I put together my August Produce Guide to help you do exactly that. Inside you'll find 9 fruits, vegetables, and herbs at their best right now. Along with simple storage tips, seasonal cooking ideas, and plenty of recipes to help you actually use everything you bring home. Whether you're trying to keep up with an overflowing garden, wondering what to do with this week's CSA box, or heading to the farmers' market this weekend, I hope you'll bookmark this guide and come back to it throughout the month. 👉 Explore my August Produce Guide + Recipes Because if there's ever a time to let fresh ingredients do most of the work, it's right now. Enjoy these beautiful last weeks of summer, cook what's growing, and don't worry if you have more zucchini and tomatoes than you know what to do with... I have plenty of recipes for that. 😉 Happy seasonal cooking, Silvia 🌿

Hi Friends Reader I shared my newest mussels recipe on Instagram and it took off! So many of you have been watching, saving and sharing it that I realized some of you here may have completely missed the recipe. And honestly? I don't want you to. 😊 These Mussels in Tomato Coconut Broth are inspired by the flavors I grew up loving in Brazil, with tomatoes, garlic, saffron, coconut milk, cilantro and fresh lemon. But the broth is really the star. It's rich, flavorful and absolutely made for...
