Strawberry Delight

If you take one look at our top new recipes published in June, it’s easy to pick up on a few themes. With cases of strawberries now in endless supply, rosy-hued berry recipes were among the most-viewed with our readers. From the moment it was published, Kelli Foster’s strawberry delight immediately inspired us to immerse ourselves in a fluffy pink haze. Not one, but three effortless pastas skyrocketed to the top of the charts, and changed the way we look at pasta. Cheesy pull-apart chicken sliders are the perfect low-effort main to make for a potluck or at your vacation house, while some recipes — like a refreshing Brazilian cocktail, Greek-style zucchini pancakes, and a salty-sweet shoyu chicken straight from Hawaii — can sweep you away to a destination even on a regular weekday. 

Working up to the top, here are the 10 most popular recipes published in June 2023.

Scarpaccia

It's the season for all things zucchini, and we're teleporting ourselves to the Tuscan region of Italy with this rustic zucchini-topped tart. Pro-tip: Make sure your zucchini is evenly sliced and that as much moisture as possible is drawn out before it’s added to the batter.

Strawberry Delight

To the shock of no one, our most popular recipe to publish in June was this charmingly pink no-bake dessert. Constructed with six layers (yes, six) of creamy, berry bliss, it's safe to say "strawberry delight" is everything and gives the Barbie Dreamhouse a run for its money.
