Black Pepper Kettle Corn
From Food and Wine magazine. Their note: “This kettle corn is so satisfying—it’s salty, sweet and a little spicy. Since it stays crisp for a few hours, you can make it in advance.”

Shrimp and grits is the most requested dish I get for the AJC’s “From the menu of” column. This recipe was printed in Southern Living. I just happen to have a few ears of fresh corn in my vegetable bin – but maybe you have some you froze from the bounty this summer?
And this recipe was in Better Homes and Gardens. It’s a nice reminder of how flavorful those corn cobs can be.
A recipe for when you want to do a little more with your corn than just eat it off the cob. Adapted from a recipe by chef Will Gault of Vince’s restaurant in Leland,Mississippi.
All those gorgeous ears of corn make me go want to head directly to the grill and crank it up for some fabulous Mexican-style grilled corn. This recipe comes from seriouseats.com.
Tomorrow I’m going to try this pasta recipe, but I’ll substitute pancetta for the prosciutto since I have some sitting in the refrigerator waiting for a use. This recipe came from Fine Cooking magazine.
And finally, how about one more chilled corn soup? This one will use your cucumbers, too. With all this heat, I’m searching for all the cool meals I can find. This one is no-cook, perfect for this weather and came from “Everyday Food” magazine. The avocado provides the creamy component for this soup – a fabulous raw recipe. You’ll have to rustle up your own avocado; they’re not an organic crop for this neck of the woods so we’ll never see them in our Riverview box. Unless of course global warming advances faster than we think ….
I am now officially a fan of squash tacos having just written about some for the AJC and tomorrow’s Food section. That recipe came from Seth Freedman who is the market chef at the East Atlanta Village Farmers Market. Here’s another variation on the theme. I love that you make a corn cob stock for this recipe. That’s a great thing to do any time you’re cutting corn off the cob for a recipe. Turn those cobs into a delicious stock either by themselves or with tomato and onion trimmings. Waste not, want not … you know.
I know I’m the mood for a chilled corn soup. This recipe came from the nice people at Good Housekeeping. It uses smoked paprika, one of my favorite ways to get a little smoky heat into a recipe. Lacking smoked paprika, you could use a little adobo sauce from that can of chipotle peppers I know you keep in your pantry. And of course the bacon lends its own smoky nuance.
Any pasta will do. This recipe came from Fine Cooking magazine.
