Last month on Serious Eats No images? Click here July's Top 10Along with hotter days and longer evenings, one tell-tale sign of the month of July is the fresh batch of peak-summer produce it ushers in. This month, we shared our favorite ways to enjoy corn, put your ripe, juicy fruit front and center, and the best ways to store your haul. Perhaps you stayed cool in the mid-July heat with Ozoz Sokoh’s zippy, sippy mango shandy. Or maybe you’re committed to your sourdough starter enough to crank on the oven for Tim Chin’s sourdough bread recipe, and some discard scallion pancakes or cheese board-worthy crackers. Whether you're on an anti-oven or stove kick, or still elbow deep in the flour jar, these are July’s top stories. One of the keys to low-stress home cooking: embrace leftovers. Especially when they're of the roast pork variety. This recipe produces a classic oval pain au levain—a sourdough loaf that's lightly tangy and deeply flavorful.
