Whether you're traveling, heading to the beach, or looking for something new to binge-watch on TV, we've got you covered in this list of food editor must haves for July. Gordon Ramsay [1] has a new game that will have you glued to your phone, Private Party [2] has the one swimsuit every brunch-obsessed girl needs, and, of course, Starbucks [3] is keeping us hydrated and caffeinated with a whole new line of icy drinks for Summer [4]. Keep reading to see everything our editors are into this month that you will be, too.
Giada in Italy Season 2 on Food Network
"Confession: I could watch Food Network [5] for hours, especially when Giada De Laurentiis [6] is on. That's why I'm marking my calendar for the premiere of season two (July 31) of Giada in Italy [7], where the Rome-born chef will share her best recipes and behind-the-scenes looks at her life in Florence, where she filmed for a few weeks this Summer. From the looks of what Giada has shared while in Italy [8], the show will be full of countless gems." — Erin Cullum, assistant editor, Food
Gordon Ramsay Dash
"Long road trips and waits at the airport will feel a lot less tiresome if you're playing Gordon Ramsay Dash [9], a new game by Glu Mobile. The adorable food graphics, Gordon's encouraging words/hilarious insults, and the game's premise (building a virtual restaurant empire) make it worth the free download." — Anna Monette Roberts, editor, Food
Starbucks Rainbow Drinks
"There are five new icy Starbucks drinks [10] to try this Summer created by fans and popularized on Instagram. My favorite is the original Pink Drink, but there's a color that appeals to every taste bud." — AMR
Sunnylife Inflatable Swan Float Cupholder
"Inflatable swan floats [11]: everyone and their mom is getting them. I have my eyes on one and one only, though. This inflatable swan float from Sunnylife [12] ($18) isn't for me to sit on, but for my drinks — much more important, in my opinion. The swan floats around in the pool holding up to four beverages, which means it's basically your own personal bartender while you swim." — EC
Ingredienti: Marcella's Guide to the Market
"Marcella started Ingredienti: Marcella's Guide to the Market [13] ($13, originally $20) prior to her death in 2013, and her husband, Victor, finished the manuscript. It's a toss-up how many of Marcella's words are actually within the pages, but I still want to read it to see . . ." — AMR
Private Party Brunch 1-Piece Swimsuit
"I need this swimsuit. There are few things I enjoy in life more than brunch [14], and I would proudly display my feelings by walking around in this minimalist one-piece from Private Party [15] ($99) (there's also a pizza swimsuit [16]!). It rarely gets hot enough to even wear a swimsuit in San Francisco in July, but I'd happily take a trip down to LA just to wear this . . . on the beach and at brunch." — EC
Urban Outfitters Pineapple Ice Tray
"I don't have any plans to go to Hawaii or somewhere beachy this Summer, but this Pineapple Ice Tray [17] ($14) is a little bit of a consolation, offering a small taste of the tropics every time I drop a few cubes in my glass." — AMR
Smitten Whiskey Chip Ice Cream
"Smitten [18] makes some of the most popular ice cream in California, so when it announced a new Whiskey Chip flavor, I couldn't wait to try it. I was a little skeptical, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the combination of fresh vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and (a heavy dose of) whiskey works. If you don't have the opportunity to visit a store location this Summer, I won't judge you for sipping on whiskey in between bites of ice cream for a similar effect." — EC
Gold Polka Dotted Potholder
"I'm on a big gold kick right now. I'm trying to insert it into my apartment in every room, and this Gold Polka Dotted Potholder and Oven Mitt [19] ($14 each) feel like just the detail I want to hang on the side of my oven. I'm also eyeing the matching apron [20]." —AMR
Starbucks Bottled Cold Brew Coffee
"Finally! Starbucks bottled cold brew coffee [21] is available at select Starbucks locations this Summer as well as some grocery stores in western Washington, western Oregon, and Denver. My favorite way to start a summertime morning is with iced coffee, so stocking up on these bottles means I don't even have to leave my apartment." — EC
