Recipes From Bon Appétit’s August 2024 Issue

In the August issue of Bon Appétit magazine, we’re celebrating sports season. If you’ve already booked your flight to Paris to watch the Olympics in person (or just added France to your travel wishlist), check out BA’s list of the ultimate eateries in the City of Light. Also learn all about the pro athletes who are skipping animal products and choosing instead to fuel up on plants.

Here in the test kitchen, you’ll find us handing out medals to the very best produce that August has to offer. The M.V.P.s—that’s Most Valuable Produce, thank you very much—are holding court at our grills, on our tables, and in our picnic baskets this summer. Fresh corn gets dressed in alfredo sauce and topped with crisp Parmesan for a new take on creamed corn. Jammy figs are baked into a tall polenta cake, one that you’ll want to share with all your friends. And Italian long hots, a variety of heirloom pepper, char on the grill before collapsing in a puddle of tahini yogurt.

Chef Sam Fore developed a roster of recipes for all you tailgaters: spiced snacking nuts, shareable seeni sambol grilled cheese rolls, curried sweet chili ribs, and portable banana pudding jars. Before lighting up the charcoal, make sure to consult our expert grilling advice, guaranteed to help you get the most out of your cookout. And while that grill is heating up, you’d be wise to serve a batch of this cucumber electrolyte drink to keep your friends hydrated. Because even if you’re not a pro athlete, it’s hot out.

You can get these—and all of Bon Appétit’s recipes—on the Epicurious App for iOS. Sign up for a free trial so you can start saving (and eating) your way through this list. The August issue of Bon Appétit is on newsstands now.
