At the beginning of corn season, chomping the kernels straight off the cob is really the only acceptable way to go.
Few summer joys come close to nibbling on those succulent kernels, slicked with lots of butter and just a sprinkle of salt, and feeling them pop in my mouth.
But eventually, inevitably, after several sacrosanct weeks of corn on the cob, I start to crave something a little different.
And that’s when I break out my blender.
Blending corn kernels not only gives you a sweet and smooth purée to use in soups, fritters and cornbread, but it also brings out the kernel’s starchier nature. And this can be a good thing, especially when it comes to making a sweet summery sauce for pasta.

There’s no cream in this wonderfully summery pasta dish, just a luscious sauce made from puréed fresh corn and sweet sautéed scallions, along with Parmesan for depth and red chile flakes for a contrasting bite.
You can grill corn with the husks on. You can strip the husks partly off, remove the silks and re-wrap the ears, then grill. You can soak the corn in cool water before grilling.
Pan-Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad
It does take a little time owing to the corn stock, but it’s so worth it. The taste of the finished soup is pure summer.
You can serve this refreshing mixture as a salad, as a topping for whole grains or as a salsa with grilled fish or chicken.
