This summer-ready cucumber gazpacho recipe has an underlying sweetness from honeydew and honey, while the sherry vinegar sharpens those flavors. Serve it with soft herbs, a yogurt drizzle, olive oil-toasted bread cubes, or delicate-tasting seafood, such as crab.

Scacce Ragusane (Sicilian Stuffed Flatbread)
This is my first attempt ever at this incredibly unique and delicious Sicilian stuffed flatbread (scacce Ragusane) recipe. What we have here is a very familiar pizza-like flavor profile, but the delivery system is unlike anything you've ever experienced. The outside edges are crispy and crunchy while that saucy and cheesy center is much like pasta in texture. So, while this is vaguely similar to a lot of things, it's really unlike anything else.
