Nicholas Farina's fried peaches with cinnamon ice cream

Here are our recipe tester’s favorite recipes from the past month:

Warm Sheep's Milk Feta with Apricot Tapenade If you can find it, use sheep's milk feta cheese in this unique starter from Israeli chef Erez Komarovsky. Its sweetness provides a strong foil to the puckery tartness of the roasted and dried apricots. Summer Ratatouille Bruschetta with Pecorino Yankee Stadium chef Kevin Harry rounds up the fleeting flavors of summer in this delicious recipe for classic bruschetta. Fried Peaches with Cinnamon Ice Cream With only a precious few days of peach season remaining, it seems only fitting to prepare the stone fruits so indulgently. Here, chef Nicholas Farina fries them to golden perfection and adds a scoop of velvety cinnamon ice cream. Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sundae Winner of the 2011 JBF Award for Best New Restaurant, ABC Kitchen knocked our socks off with this addictive sweet-and-salty ice cream sundae.
