Fennel is a natural match for tuna’s richness. We use fennel seeds in the spice coating on the fish and serve the fillets with roasted wedges.

Treat Yourself: Thai Peach Punch

View the Recipe: Thai Peach Punch

This big-batch-friendly cocktail celebrates summer’s juiciest stone fruit and most bountiful herb. Peaches contain two key antioxidants—lutein and zeaxanthin—good for eye health. Lemongrass paste (found near the fresh herbs) imparts aromatic, lemony luster.
