It’s Euro Summer Week! Stay tuned for more stories, recipes, and travel tips—and tell us how you’re having your own.
Around this time every year, it feels like everyone you know is either in Europe, just got back from Europe, or plotting how to get there. (And yes, we’ve all Googled how much a last-minute flight would be. Spoiler: too much.)
But even if you’re staying stateside, there are plenty of ways to channel that breezy, beautiful European energy. For us, it starts in the kitchen. Think: slow Sundays, seasonal ingredients, open-air markets, and meals that are simple but so satisfying. We’re talking pasta tossed with whatever’s fresh, grilled veggies with good cheese, and cold spritzes that taste like a vacation.
So in honor of Euro Summer Week, we’re sharing the recipes we’re making to feel like we’re on the Amalfi Coast (or Provence, or the Greek islands...) without ever leaving home. Light, unfussy, and peak-season approved—here’s what we’re cooking next. Let us know in the comments what you’re cooking up in July.
1. Grilled eggplant & peach caprese
The sweet-salty-summery salad that says I just biked home from the market.
2. Shrimp pasta with tomatoes, basil and chile butter
A little spicy, a little buttery, and very ready to be eaten alfresco.
3. White wine spritzer with grapefruit
If this drink had a passport, it would be stamped all over the Mediterranean.
4. Chicken parmesan with fresh tomato sauce
A fresh take on a classic—lighter, brighter, and totally weeknight-worthy.
5. Cacio e pepe panzanella with corn and burrata
The salad that accidentally became the star of the meal. Burrata never hurts.
6.Arugula lasagna
Greens, cheese, and no red sauce in sight—we’re not sure if it’s nonna-approved but we’re loving it.
7. Summer squash toasts
A simple snack that tastes like it came from a seaside café.
8. Pistachio olive oil ice cream
Nutty, silky, and not-too-sweet—we’re taking this over Dubai chocolate all summer long.
