Charred Corn Salad
[caption id="attachment_24581" align="alignright" width="1300"] Photo by food52.com[/caption] Although available all year, corn is local and fresh in many parts of the United States in July and August, and so much better than the varieties available all year round.

From Zingerman’s Bakehouse by Amy Emberling and Frank Carollo with permission by Chronicle Books, 2017 BIG O COOKIES MAKES 21 COOKIES FRANK: This is my favorite Bake- house cookie and also our most popular. “Big O’s” had their start at Zingerman’s Delicatessen long before the bakery opened, and my appreciation for them started when I spent a summer working there. I was taking a break from the restaurant world and decided to be a stay-at-home dad to my eldest daughter, Anna, while her mother, Kathy, taught school.
