I honestly don’t remember whether I made this recipe up or found it in a cookbook or cooking magazine, but I have had it for decades, and I love it when spring peas are ready to eat. This fresh, herby soup pairs well with my new Rosé, which complements salty ingredients like pancetta or bacon.

This easy recipe is incredibly delicious and perfectly highlights the fresh summer tomatoes. My garden is exploding with all types of heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, and I love how sweet they are with the addition of only a few other ingredients like garlic and salt. I made this the other day and enjoyed it with a glass of the Lolati 2023 Primitivo, and it was amazing.

I love to make my own sourdough bread of all sorts and while this recipe may seem simple, it's one of my go-to lunches and it doesn't disappoint.  I mean, who doesn't love a tuna melt?!  I like to eat mine with sliced Granny Smith apples (very grade-school, I know), kettle chips or even kimchi for a fun, spicy companion.  This recipe makes two tuna melts.  One for you and one for whomever you want to have lunch with. it also pairs nicely with a glass of Lolati 2022 Sauvignon Blanc!
