Meredith Hayden’s hearty farro broccoli salad is inspired by the beloved Charlie Bird farro salad, with apple cider-simmered farro, roasted broccoli, cherry tomatoes, arugula, pistachios, Parmesan, lemon juice, olive oil, and basil. It’s bright, filling, endlessly adaptable, and perfect for meal prep, lunch, or a satisfying side dish.
Wishbone Kitchen’s Boyfriend Roast Chicken delivers everything you want from a great roast: crisp skin, tender meat, and a bright pan sauce that pulls it all together. Served with crushed Yukon gold potatoes tossed in shallot-champagne vinegar sauce, it’s the kind of comforting, slightly fancy dinner that makes any night feel special.
Our July cookbook club featured The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook—the perfect summer pick for backyard dining. I made Meredith’s iconic Heirloom Tomato Galette, layered with pesto, Parmesan, peak-season tomatoes, and creamy stracciatella. Easy to roll out and even easier to love, this tart quickly became a favorite of ours
These pork sausage burgers from Wishbone Kitchen are the ultimate cookout upgrade. Seasoned with Calabrian chiles, fennel, and garlic, they channel the flavors of sausage and peppers, stacked on Italian rolls with creamy Calabrian-lemon aioli, provolone, jammy peppers, and crisp shaved fennel. One bite, and you’re obsessed.
To celebrate The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook’s release, I tried Meredith’s Blueberry BBQ Grilled Chicken Salad. It features caramelized chicken, tangy-sweet blueberry BBQ sauce, creamy goat cheese, sunflower seeds, and a blueberry vinaigrette. Bright, hearty, and packed with blueberries – this is summer on a plate.
