RecipeKorean Flank Steak Tacos
Kimchi, the beloved Korean side dish made from fermented vegetables, is a little tangy, a little spicy, and a fantastic foil for steak in these vibrantly flavored tacos. Marinated cucumbers add crunch and bright clean flavor, too. For additional color, add fresh radish and diced tomatoes, if you like.

RecipeSpinach and Leek Soup with Garlic and Cannellini Beans
Creamy, earthy beans and plenty of greens make this delicately lemony soup satisfying enough for a light meal. Just serve it with some good crusty bread—or a sandwich, if you’re really hungry.

Charred corn and chicken have great summery flavors, but what really makes this tostada sing is the chipotle-lime cream sauce that holds everything on the shell. You can buy prepared tostada shells or make them yourself following the directions in the tip below.

RecipeBánh Mì Burgers
Inspired by Vietnamese bánh mì sandwiches, this pork burger is topped with pickled carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, ham, chiles, and mayo, and served on crusty French rolls. You can substitute half of the carrots with daikon radish for an even more authentic flavor.

RecipeLinguine with Mussels and Smoked Paprika
Shellfish and pasta are always great companions. A touch of sherry and burst of smoky paprika give this dish a Spanish flavor.
