We’re celebrating 4th of July with stellar cookbook author, Andy Baraghani to talk about fresh and light recipes that will have you spending time with guests and not stuck at the grill. He leaves us with his Juicy Tomato w/ Italian Chile Crisp & Glossy Barbecued Eggplant w/Peanut Salad recipes and sticks around to answer your cooking questions. Then, we sit with Samantha Seneviratne, author of The Joys of Baking to talk us through delicious desserts to serve up this summer. From taking advantage of those seasonal fruits to fun and effortless ideas for your store bought poundcake—the desserts will be the talk of the summer. She left us with her for Nectarine Galette with Sour Cherry Jam and be sure to check out her Fresh Strawberry Pie.
