August is when gardens and farmers’ markets burst with flavor. Tomatoes are at their juiciest, corn is sweet and tender, and peppers practically glow with color. It’s the perfect time to turn your grill into a celebration of the season.
Tomatoes That Steal the Show
Grilled tomatoes become rich and smoky while still holding their fresh sweetness. Slice them thick, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt before grilling. For a clean, even cut, the Damascus Cleaver glides right through without crushing the delicate flesh.
Corn: The Summer Classic
There’s nothing like corn on the cob cooked over an open flame. Grill it in the husk for a soft, steamed texture or directly on the grate for a charred, smoky bite. Once cooked, serve it on an Olive Wood Cutting Board to keep the rustic, outdoor vibe alive.
Peppers, Zucchini & Eggplant
These veggies love the grill. Slice them thick enough to stay sturdy, brush with oil, and grill until tender. Use the Olive Wood 5 PC Utensil Set for easy flipping and serving — they can handle the heat and look good doing it.
Peak produce season only comes once a year, so make the most of it. Fire up the grill, keep the flavors simple, and let the freshness of August’s harvest shine through.
