Anyway, let's get back to tomatoes, corn, and stone fruits. César did a really cool thing with a Triple-Burnt Corn Basque cheesecake by infusing the cream with charred corn kernels. And Nea paired a peach-and-charred-corn salsa with shrimp tacos.

Newsletter Follow Up
A couple of weeks ago, I shared my newsletter reading list and asked for yours. Here are some of the responses:
From Maggie:
I really love Restaurant Dropout, which accompanies Zoe Barrie's TikTok series—smart ingredient prep for a week's worth of dinners that always look really good and fresh.
I always enjoy the deep dives on Anne Helen Petersen's Culture Study, and I love reading about upcoming cookbooks on Stained Page News by Paula Forbes.
Gotta throw in a plug for my own new newsletter as well—What To Drink shares fun cocktail (and booze-free) recipes and tips, plus beer, wine, and books I recommend.
From Paul:
I don't have three recs worth sharing, but I often turn to this food newsletter for a laugh. I think you'll find it well written and perhaps a bit...ridiculous. (And Paul is right—I love it.)
