Heirloom Tomato and Watermelon Salad with Buffalo Mozzarella by Ed Brown
This dish is all about showcasing the freshest, ripest summer ingredients. Serving it at room temperature allows the flavors to be at their fullest and most vibrant.
All-Crabmeat Crabcakes by Ed Brown
This is the longest standing recipe in my career. It is a tried-and-true dish that never disappoints. Big lumps of fresh crabmeat are lightly combined with just enough ingredients and seasoning to hold together. Baking the crabcakes instead of frying adds just enough crunch without all the added fat of frying.
