It's all CSA at this time of year. Recipes barely needed, just fresh greens, baby turnips, sugar snaps chopped and added to rice salad, dressed with soy/rice vinegar/fresh ginger/garlic/sesame oil or dijon/lemon/olive oil. Roasted chickpeas or grilled chicken with zatar for topping. Flatbreads if I feel like turning on the oven. Salmon or tinned fish for variety. Waiting for tomatoes....
The sauce flavors definitely speak to the way my husband and I cook, and we love shiitake mushrooms, so this is a win-win! Enjoy your family next week and try to stay cool. I know it’s a challenge to find AC and ice cubes in Paris, so hoping for the best for you and Michael. 🧊❤️🇫🇷
Not a microwave guy either except for quick reheats, but the late Barbara Kafka’s recipes for microwave risotto have been a mainstay for me for years (from her cookbook The Microwave Gourmet—still available online). Also, just got some fresh green market asparagus—-wrap in a couple of wet paper towels, microwave for 1 minute, maybe 90 seconds if they are thicker—just right.
Bonjour Dorie, Welcome back to France! The heat is supposed to break in a couple of days. Unusually, Brittany wasn't spared and we have been breaking all time heat records. Many of the fruits in France have come in early this summer and there has been a bumper crop of cherries. So we have that to help keep us cool.

YUM! I'm going to make these soon; thanks for sharing the recipe Dorie and for the genius idea to dry the stems!
