Though the weather’s getting cooler, sweet summer corn is still available at the markets, but not for long. Make the most of the remaining days of corn season with these recipes:

Thomas Keller's Creamed Summer Corn

One of our favorite recipes from Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc at Home, this dish could not be easier to make.

Corn Custard with Greens and Country Ham

Studded with kernels of fresh summer corn, this sweet, rich custard is paired with thinly shaved country ham, sautéed greens, and a drizzle of warm apple cider gastrique.

Wild Striped Bass with Sweet Corn Chowder

Top an elegant, brothy chowder with pan-seared striper. Substitutes for wild striped bass, which is mild, firm, and meaty, include halibut, sea bass, and cod.

Sweet Corn Budino with Blueberries and Cornmeal Shortbread

Pastry chef Karen DeMasco pairs creamy corn pudding with tart blueberry compote and crunchy shortbread cookies in this impressive dessert.
