The Late Summer Table
Eight dishes for the last two weeks of August, when the stone fruit is at its best and the heat finally breaks.
There is a window each August, somewhere between the second-to-last peach and the first cool evening, when the table seems to set itself. Tomatoes that need only salt. Burrata that needs only honey. A glass of something pale, a loaf of focaccia, and the kind of friends who do not need to be asked twice. We've gathered eight recipes for that window. Cook them in any order. Save the dishes for the morning.
