Having a dinner party? Make sure you do your homework, since it seems like there isn't a single person out there who doesn't have some sort of dietary restriction, whether it's self-imposed like veganism, or a product of nature, like allergies.
It may seem like the days are getting shorter, but be not fooled. Summer is still going strong, and in some places, might extend well into October. If that's the case, you need a few new recipes to add to your repertoire to take advantage of the late summer produce: Bread, Tomato, Basil and Cucumber Soup, Asian Flank Steak Salad, Peanut Dipping Sauce, Pan Bagnat with Tuna, Tomatoes and Olives, Zucchini Trifolati and Spaghetti with Raw Tomatoes and Arugula.
At the Farmers' Markets, Northwest apricots are perfect, and a recipe is for a Chilled Fruit Salad with Watermelon Syrup.
Out on the town, the Fresh Cocktail at Boka Kitchen + Bar is made with Plymouth Gin, cucumber, mint and lime juice, and there's a lot of new restaurants popping up all over the city.
