Home Cooks Embrace Corn, Peaches and Cold Soups This Summer

Summer’s bounty is fueling a wave of creative, time-saving recipes that spotlight just-harvested corn, juicy peaches and cooling cold soups.

Key trends include:

Stovetop-charred kernels with mayo-lime dressings and Cotija cheese

Peach pizzas, galettes, shrubs and tagines with plant-based swaps

Raw and gazpacho-style soups like zucchini-basil and watermelon-serrano blends

Cornstarch Hack Yields Crunchy Roast Potatoes

Forget limp, soggy roasties. Home cooks are turning to cornstarch—a staple you already have—to draw out surface moisture and trigger gelatinization, creating an ultra-crisp crust on Sunday potatoes. After a 20-minute boil, a 10-minute air-dry and a hot-oil preheat at 200 °C, potatoes dusted in cornstarch go into the oven for just 25–35 minutes, flipped once around 20 minutes.

Key tip: Try arrowroot or potato starch if you’re out of cornstarch, finish with fresh herbs or a pat of butter, and pair with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or pale ale for a truly celebratory side.
