I call this easy red, white, and blue trifle an "assembly recipe," because very little cooking is involved. Fresh fruit, yogurt, and berry syrup are layered in a clear bowl for a beautiful presentation. Layer in as much fruit as your bowl will hold, for a refreshing and easy summer dessert.

Chef John's Rosemary Shortbread Cookies
While rosemary may seem like a strange addition at first, it works perfectly in this shortbread cookie recipe that I'd argue they're actually better than the typical version. There's something so interesting about how the subtle hint of this resinous herb works with this sweet, buttery cookie.
