Summer tomatoes are showing off—and we’re here

Summer tomatoes are showing off—and we’re here for it. 🍅☀️ One favorite is Shakshuka: peak-season tomatoes and peppers simmered with just the right spices, topped with eggs and fresh herbs. It’s the kind of dish that tastes like summer feels.

Shakshuka is a vibrant North African–style dish that features farm-fresh tomatoes simmered with peppers, onions, garlic, and warm spices like cumin and paprika. You crack in a few eggs and let them poach right in the sauce, then top it all with fresh herbs and serve it up with crusty bread for dipping. Rich, comforting, and full of flavor—it’s the ultimate summer brunch.

One of the best is at at Field + Fort in Summerland, @fieldandfort.

Join our Drinkable Landscape writer George Yatchin

Join our Drinkable Landscape writer George Yatchinsin as he knocks one back with Nigella. It’s a cheeky, savory cocktail that leans into unusual ingredients (nigella, Cynar, Crème de Noyaux), delivers big flavor, and might even earn you imaginary health points. 🍸

With the herbal wallop of Cynar (artichoke‑based amaro) and a hint of almond‑marzipan charm from Crème de Noyaux—infused with cherry and apricot pits and colored by cochineal—the drink is a botanical tag‑team. All that’s softened by a squeeze of Meyer lemon to keep it sophisticated.

What you'll need:
3 ounces nigella seed-infused London dry gin
1 ounce Cynar
1 ounce nigella seed simple syrup
1 ounce Meyer lemon juice
¾ ounce Crème de Noyaux
2 lemon peel strips

Follow along with Chef and cookbook writer Pascale

Follow along with Chef and cookbook writer Pascale Beale on her bread baking adventure: flour, water, salt and a blooming good time! Her near obsession with sourdough is clear, as she describes the "magical moment when you add the salt, which transforms the shaggy, sticky mixture into a smooth, elastic dough."

Pascale shows how a simple flour‑and‑water culture can blossom into community, entrepreneurial ventures (like bagel shops and pizza menus), and intergenerational bonds.

The Santa Barbara City College (@sbccofficial) Cul

The Santa Barbara City College (@sbccofficial) Culinary Arts Program, led by Chef Charlie Fredericks, is giving students more than just cooking skills—it’s launching real-world culinary careers. Through hands-on learning in the John Dunn Gourmet Dining Room, students plan, prep, and serve four-course prix-fixe meals (with wine pairings!) to the public every Thursday and Friday. 🍷👨‍🍳

Graduates have gone on to succeed at places like San Ysidro Ranch, Rosewood Miramar’s Caruso’s, Bouchon, and even started their own catering and artisan food businesses. Chef Charlie, who’s been teaching since 2004, emphasizes technical excellence, flexibility, and in-the-field experience—backed by community support like the SBCC Promise, which covers fees for many students.

Join the movement that’s turning passion into profession. If you haven’t been to a GDR dinner night, it’s time to treat your tastebuds and support the next generation of local chefs!

Read the whole story at the link in bio, or in the magazine at select retailers throughout SB County.
