Late August is peak everything — peaches still hitting, corn and peppers everywhere, and just enough of a chill creeping in for a pot of gumbo, so this week's picks run from grilled salads to slow-braised comfort.

A few faves I keep coming back to:

The rest runs the gamut: a Grilled Peach & Burrata Salad that's basically summer on a plate, the loaded La Presa Salad with charred poblano ranch, a zesty Red Lentil Chili, creamy Paneer Tikka Masala over rice, a slow-roasted Harissa Chicken Bowl with lentils and chili oil, dengaku Miso-Glazed Eggplant, a proper New Orleans Chicken and Andouille Gumbo, Chicken Adobo Sangwits with fried potato strings, a Porchetta Sandwich with fennel slaw and dijon mayo, classic Sausage and Peppers with marinara, and Peach + Bourbon Glazed Scallops + Shrimp with skillet fried corn and bacon.

14 ideas below, hope you find some dinner inspo! — Rhys
