7 Summery Jewish Recipes to Make This June

From golden grilled chicken to a delightfully easy cheesecake.

With summer around the corner, we want to be outdoors enjoying the warm weather as much as we possibly can. The grill is out, awaiting a spatchcock chicken with a fabulously garlicky sauce, or a whole eggplant for the smokiest, meltiest baba ganoush. (And there’s nothing better to offset barbecue char than Russian-style pickled watermelon, our summertime savory snack of choice.)

If you’re looking for a weekend baking project, Salt & Straw’s cardamom coffee and white chocolate ice cream makes for a refreshing treat. Or, for a simpler (but just as delicious) dessert, Bubba’s peach cobbler never lets us down. And if Shavuot has you craving cheesecake, we have a delightfully easy Israeli recipe, too.
