This week I’ve been reading “Cooking for Mr. Latte” by Amanda Hesser, former food editor of the New York Times. All this week’s recipes come from that book – a lovely combination of memoir and cookbook.

Corn, Squash and Tomato Stir Fry

The first corn of the season – yum. A tip if you’re not familiar with no-spray corn. Most ears are likely to have a corn worm or two. Just cut off the affected part of the ear and you’re good to go. If I have more corn than I can use right away, I grill the extra ears in the husk. When they’re done, the husks and silks slip off easily and I store the grilled corn in a sealable plastic bag in the refrigerator. It will keep about a week that way and is still as sweet as it was the day it arrived.

In the meantime, if you need an idea for today’s fresh corn, try this recipe from Martha Rose Shulman of the New York Times. No Thai basil? Any basil will do, or just omit.

Cherry Tomato Vanilla Bean Preserves

You might not need this recipe with the first sweet, sweet cherry tomatoes of the season, but if you end up with a bounty of cherry tomatoes – this is a great way to use them up.

I cannot remember where I got this recipe but it’s delicious with goat cheese. Or over ice cream. Yes!

Pectin is sold with canning supplies in small Jello-size boxes with brand names like Sure-Jell, but also in store brands. I think Ball maybe is now also selling a small “bulk” container so you can just spoon out a teaspoon or so rather than using a whole box to make a batch of jams. Great for small batch preserving.

Grilled Shrimp and Smoky Grilled Corn Grits

Shrimp and grits is the most requested dish I get for the AJC’s “From the menu of” column. This recipe was printed in Southern Living. I just happen to have a few ears of fresh corn in my vegetable bin – but maybe you have some you froze from the bounty this summer?
