Homemade Sun-Dried Tomatoes Are Nature's Candy
There’s nothing quite like sun-dried tomatoes — they lift up the flavor of anything they touch, from simple pastas and hearty salads to chicken (hello Tuscan chicken!). So what do sun-dried tomatoes taste like? The slow drying process concentrates the flavor of the tomatoes, locks in their summer sweetness, and leaves you with an intensely savory bite.

Filipino "Halo-Halo" Is the Most Delicious Way to Beat the Heat
Ice cream is great and snow cones are good, but for me the ultimate summer dessert is halo-halo. The refreshing, multi-layered, shaved-ice-based Filipino dessert is packed with incredible flavors and textures — icy, creamy, chewy, crunchy, sweet, syrupy. I’ve been lucky to eat halo-halo here in the United States and all over the Philippines and it still thrills me every time.

Scotch Eggs Are Super Popular In London for a Reason
If you’re a savory breakfast person like me, a Scotch egg is a perfect food. The U.K. dish consists of a boiled egg that’s been peeled, covered in breakfast sausage, then breaded and deep-fried. It’s the perfect high-protein breakfast or snack. The roots of this dish are murky. Scotch eggs seem to have been around since the 1700s, with some claiming it was an Indian export due to its similarities to a dish called nargisi kofta.

How To Make a Baked Potato on the Grill: A Foolproof Method for Fluffy, Smoky Spuds
In the winter, a baked potato (with the works!) is something my family enjoys on a regular basis. We oil and season the potatoes and roast them directly on the oven rack, then load up the steaming spuds with all the accoutrements our hearts desire. When summer approaches and we turn our attention to the grill, our baked potato habit typically comes to a halt. But this year, it’s only just ramping up.
