This Week’s Features …

Summertime, and the Eating Is Easy

Taste-tested recipes from ingredients you can pluck from your garden or buy from your neighbors.You don’t need a state-supported campaign to tell you that with high summer, the eating is good.

Earth is bursting with ways to please us. The corn in the fields tells you that it’s time to eat. Nodding sunflowers at roadside farm stands repeat that this is the season. At farm markets, tangy tomatoes and sweet peaches add the exclamation point of taste to Maryland summer.

Yet those are just the basics of our bounty. Vegetables ready for our tables span the alphabet. Asparagus and arugula have had their season, but apples are just ahead. Zucchini is so abundant it threatens to take over the state.
