To me the concept of grazing is irresistible: consuming less of more. It’s also liberating; it frees us as cooks from the pressure of a main course, alleviates the expectations of what comes first, second, and what goes on the side.

If you regularly eat raw fish, then it’s time to quickly step back and make sure you’re safe. A popular tuna retailer has issued a recall, as its product may contain the Hepatitis A virus. Those who have not been vaccinated are at risk.

Hilo Fish Company Inc. rolled out the recall two weeks ago — the company made it public on Friday — for its frozen yellowfin tuna product, says the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The products impacted are 8-ounce tuna steaks with an expiration date of October 1, 2018 and 15-pound frozen tuna cubes dated to expire on April 1, 2019.

It’s summer, which means that not only is your grill hot, but corn is finally juicy and sweet. The two need to meet. While I’d like to tell you it’s as simple as throwing the cobs on the hot grill and letting the two mingle, there is some work that must be done to get the corn and its husk ready for the grill.
