1Cherry Tomato Pasta
PHOTO: ANDREA MONZO; FOOD STYLIST: MAKINZE GORE This recipe is proof that a killer tomato sauce doesn’t need a long simmer on the stovetop—this one concentrates the cherry tomatoes' flavor through bursting them in the skillet, along with tomato paste that intensifies the tomato flavor while also adding umami. Yum!

2Grilled Steak Salad
PHOTO: ERIK BERNSTEIN; FOOD STYLING: BARRETT WASHBURNE This salad is simple enough for a weeknight but worthy of planning a get-together around, thanks to its star ingredient—ribeye steak. You’ll grill it (and red onions), then combine it with cherry tomatoes, blue cheese, basil, and a drizzle of tangy balsamic dressing, turning it into the kind of impressive-but-secretly-easy dish you’ll be making all the time.

PHOTO: ANDREW BUI; FOOD STYLING: SPENCER RICHARDS Being a meaty, tender fish, mahi mahi stands up well to the grill and is even better when marinated. You could use a traditional citrus-oil mixture, or do like we did and go with a mayo-based marinade that adds some richness and a ton of flavor. Throw the fish on a tortilla with some spicy pineapple-jalapeño salsa, and you'll have an amazing summer taco night.

7Grilled Pizza
Parker feierbach Here's our #1 tip for success for this pizza: Prep everything you are going to need before you start grilling. The grilling part only takes 4 minutes tops, so don't wait to slice your tomatoes until the pizza is on the grill. Have everything ready and near you so that as soon as you flip the pizza crust, you can start topping and pull your pizza off the grill as soon as it's done.

Instead of cooking the ratatouille on the stovetop, enjoy it right out of the oven, or you can bake the dish ahead of time and let the ingredients mingle in the refrigerator overnight for even more flavor.

14Tofu Banh Mi
Joel goldberg In this meat-free Vietnamese classic, the pressed tofu marinates twice: once quickly before cooking so it doesn’t soak up too much liquid, and again after it’s cooked to flavor it through. A French baguette will do the job, but getting your hands on an airier, lighter, thin-and-crisp-crusted Vietnamese baguette is the ultimate.
