This Perfect Dinner Menu Makes the Most of Summer's Best Produce

August 14, 2019

Whenever we need some inspiration for making the most of the season’s offerings, we turn to Chef Thea Baumann, former food editor at Goop, holder of a Diplôme de Cuisine from Le Cordon Bleu, and cookbook author and consultant. She’s shared her take on the perfect spring brunch, and this season, she’s crafted a show-stopping summer dinner in the form of a perfectly flaky halibut with tomatoes, white beans, and salsa verde, a crowd pleasing crudité  (plus bread) board with walnut and black olive tapenade, and for dessert, poached peaches with rosé and thyme à la mode. Look no further for the come-together of your farmer’s market haul.

"I try to keep things new and use seasonal ingredients to inspire fresh ideas, but now I place a lot more emphasis on making sure the directions are super clear, the flavors are just right, and the recipe itself is as foolproof as possible."
