Successful cooking on the Fourth of July needs only meet a few requirements. It needs to not heat up the kitchen too much, it needs to satisfy a crowd, and it needs to allow ample time for socializing (read: drinking a dozen beers) with your guests. Here, our picks for celebrating this Independence Day in style:
- Deviled Eggs Three Ways
- Farmstand Tomato Bruschetta
- Manchego Lamb Burgers with Fried Potato Chive Cakes
- Cucumber Mint Orzo Salad
- Atlantic Baja-Style Fish Tacos
- Poblano Chile Barbecue Burger
- Nashville Hot Chicken
- How to Make Pulled Pork
About the Author: Malcolm Bedell
My first memories of cooking start in Maine at six years old, when I wore a yellow rainslicker to avoid getting spattered by the bacon I was frying in a skillet. My interest in both Mexican cooking and recreating classic New England dishes from scratch developed while living in Mexico, on a steady diet of pork and habanero peppers. You can see more of my writing and photography online on Serious Eats, the Huffington Post, BlogHer, and Foodista, as well as in print for Downeast, Indulge, and Cigar Snob magazines.
