This week’s show is all about making summer last. More ways with sweet corn, tomatoes, and zucchini, a shout-out to our friends on Facebook who recommended the region’s best ice cream (we tried more than a few of your top shops!) and the unlikely place having an ice cream surge right now. Plus, what to do with the mysterious root vegetable kohlrabi, from slaws to soups. Cooking teacher and cookbook author Domenica Marchetti joins the fun with recipes from her new book, Preserving Italy. Recipes for silky half-moons of butternut squash preserved in oil, sweet onion jam to top burgers, and peaches in Grappa—perhaps the most delicious way to savor stone fruit.
